   It was very nice atmosphere and nice piano player. The food could’ve been better offering more sides ie mashed potatoes, different salads and more arrays of dessert. Overall good experience.

   This was very over priced for what we received. A family of 6 and we paid over $450. It was a basic Golden Corral buffet with less options. When you are paying $80 a person for an adult I expect more then powdered eggs for example. The food was very basic. It was severely overrated and I would not of even paid $250 for all of us to eat if I had known it was going to be this bad. I would have been better off going to a Cracker Barrel and at least getting freshly made food. The pie they served was half frozen, the carving station meat was full of fat and gristle, the pastries were dry and just bought from a store and put on a platter. I expected more especially form the WigWam.

   Mothers Day brunch 2022-we did the same brunch a few years ago and it was AMAZING. This year…..meh. Less selection than in the past. No omelette table. Less breakfast foods. No chicken or turkey. No dessert table (they bring you pie). It wasn’t terrible….it’s just not worth the cost anymore. ($85/pp including meal, taxes, mandatory gratuity for a buffet, and some other events fee).

   One of the worst holiday brunches ever. They had very limited number of items to choose from. I heard a lot of other people complain that they didn't have any french toast, pancakes, omelets, etc. Definitely won't book another brunch here.

   Mother’s Day Brunch is always such a treat when going to the Wigwam Resort. Visually everything is so beautiful, the staff is always friendly and easy to speak with. I have nothing but great things to say about the Wigwam.

    I was extremely disappointed with the food. The seafood was tasteless & mushy. Prime rib was fatty & dry. Scrambled eggs were bland & boarder-line dry. The Wigwam could really have stepped up their game on this one. Sadly we won’t be returning

    Very disappointing for $85 Per person. Just a ballroom with some green lights and a piano man. The main course was really good but the desert was pitiful. When I say pitiful that is putting it nicely. They started pulling table cloths off as people were done and leaving raw wood tables around as others are still eating- Very disappointed

    Food choices were great but some of the items were cold like soup, ham, etc. Setting was nice for banquet hall, unfortunately we were right at a entry door so loud and hard to have a conversation plus a lot of people going in and out. Next time will request table near food as with a senior that has difficulty walking closer would have been nicer. Overall, for our first time there, not bad…we will go back

    Shocked as to how bad and the quality of the food! I don't know where to begin- carving stations,poor and tough meat- clearly low quality. Everything was steamer trays w/ all marginal foods- just plain NOT good. Whoever was in charge of this should be terminated! This is damaging to the Wigwag- I would never eat in the main restaurants based on this experiance! An extreme poor experiance ! Remeber I paid $70/ X 4 for this!

    Thank you for this opportunity. This years event didn’t really have the “Warmth” or “Excitement” like last year. The Christmas decor was lackluster. The food was warm but not hot. The prime rib had hard fat and was not tasty. The ham was cold. The cheese platter was wonderful and so is the bread. As far as the potatoes and stuffing they were lukewarm. I’m not sure if we will come back next year because we think it would be nicer to have a hot meal served. I do want to express my gratitude for the wonderful staff! Everyone that we came in contact with was extremely nice and helpful. Our server was so sweet and kind and made sure we had everything that we needed.

    Disappointed. For a party of Six. First waiting 20 minutes to order drinks when they came 15 minutes later the waitress spilled 3 cocktails on our table. Instead of moving us ( which there were empty tables) she just wiped it on the rug and covered the wet spot. Had to ask her to bring clean silverware and napkins. Took forever to bring a cocktails. Then we had to wait for limes. So after 45 minutes with all that we finally went up to get our food. They ran out of turkey. One of the servers was going to bring us some to our table #61, but I saw him give it to someone else No one told us they were clearing the buffet. Just in case we wanted more. It wasn’t that busy so lack of attention and high price and lack of food it was very very disappointing especially for wigwam resort. Will not be back.

    We attended the Wigwam Thanksgiving buffet 2 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it but the 2021 buffet was a different story. Instead of being a high end buffet at a high end resort hotel, the 2021 buffet was a very disappointing experience suitable suitable for a Motel 6 buffet. It was Thanksgiving and the Resort ran out of white meat leaving only cold shaved dark meat, steak, ham and salmon. The sides were plentiful but served cold by buffet servers that provided very small portions and when asked for more gave an even smaller amount and really didn’t seem to care. The buffet tables were not arranged in a logical order requiring us to go back and forth between tables e.g. if you wanted gravy for the stuffing or butter for a roll from the sides table you had to return to the meat table line to get it. The dessert was equally disappointing. Instead of having a dessert table with an inviting selection, our group of 7 was given a very small plate with small bite deserts and a separate choice of a very small piece of pie on an equally small plate. We will not be returning to the Wigwam again and recommend that people looking for a Thanksgiving or other holiday buffet look elsewhere.

    I expected so much better from the Wigwam especially for the cost. I was told they ran out of white turkey meat at a thanksgiving meal! They eventually brought more out 15 minutes later but it was inedible as it was too salty. The rolls were stale and the rest of the food was bland tasting. I would not recommend ever doing this event again.

    We paid $84 with tax and gratuity for each of us for the Thanksgiving buffet. The food was good, not great. The first line of the buffet was too long and had too many items on it,causing what you got to get cold as you waited to get more food. They needed to put the salads, cheese and fruit and the soup at a different line. The ambiance is a bit like eating in a cafeteria. Definitely not worth the money.

    This is the second time dining at the Wigwam for a special event. Honestly food is terrible and for the price, $65 a person. The quality is not good. It wasn’t good for New Year’s Eve and once again disappointed. Meat was super rare, and my dad likes rare he didn’t even eat it. Dessert tasted like an elementary cafeteria. Ambiance and staff are great, but dang all the restaurants are really not good food

    I was very disappointed by our Mother's Day Brunch experience. We had previously attended a Mothers Day Brunch at the Wigwam and expected the same thing - a champagne brunch with ice sculptures held in the Terrace room with views of the pool. I recall that all ladies also received a red rose - the whole event made you feel special! This so called brunch was more like a buffet lunch for work... it was held in a conference room with no windows, champagne was extra, there was no artwork or ambiance at the event. On the plus side, the food was "okay" and their was a live pianist on site and a complimentary photo for all families. Just not what one would expect from a "resort". Sadly we can't recommend this experience and at $80 per person they could have done better!!!

    Easter Sunday Brunch was horrible they have nice pictures online but when we arrived it was a "cafeteria like" that they called"ballroom". The food in the buffet was cold and tasteless (it seems like it had been sitting on the table for hours). They charged us $188.00 for two adults and one 7 years old. I expected a minimum of omelette and waffles made to order. The coffee was served at room temperature and they put ice in my son's chocolate milk and we could not get a server to get it fixed. I tried to get ahold of someone in charge and she/he never showed up. This was the worse brunch I have ever been. I was hoping that I had spoken to someone while we were there but I was not granted that opportunity.

    Third course was served cold. Wine was served 10-15 minutes before food pairing was served. Service was excellent as usual. Overall coordination was suffering, though.

    If this was our first Wine Pairing dinner at the WigWam we would not go back. The dinner was outside on a very windy and cold evening. Our table was next to the musician and he was very loud. Could not hear the chef or Representative speaking about the meal pairing and the wine.

    The format and the setting were wonderful! We would definitely go again, but there is no preview of the menu and while we are pretty open to trying different things, the menu was just not good. The food looked beautiful, but did not taste wonderful. The most attractive item was the hamachi appetizer, but it was screaming for seasoning!! The raw beef tartar was pretty unappetizing. It looked like corned beef hash....not to mention, I dont eat raw beef. The lamb stew was nice (even though I dont eat lamb, lol) and the final item was bison, which also desperately needed salt. It was a bit strange to have so many red meats. They were more than generous with the wine pours and the wait staff was exceptional At $255 (for 2) we did expect a little more food. All four items were very small "small plates".
