    Food was delicious, with offerings replenished regularly. What was disappointing was the lackluster energy from the 2 hostesses and the wait staff. They all seemed sour and bitter about working. It’s Mother’s Day! Where was the celebration and warmth? It wasn’t anywhere to be found at SP!

    We were so excited to dine here and heard the food was amazing. Well, I would not recommend to go there when they are only offering buffet style. It was fair at best. A step above hotel free breakfast my son said. Very expensive too and to have a 20% gratuity included on a buffet meal was over the top in my opinion.

    Beautiful space, beautiful views. Food was very good. I tried Michael’s favorite. Crab dip appetizer also very good. Service was fantastic. Our server had several big tables and he was so attentive to us at the same time. Very nice! Thank you!
