We went here for dinner following a show at the well and during our stay at the Hyatt. The service was very good but the food was just okay. The kids meal chicken was very dry and tough. My husband and I were both happy with our entrees.

Their Thanksgiving buffet was terrible. Salty, cold Turkey. Sides were gross, looked like they have been sitting for hours. They ran out of desserts. The staff was not pleasant or attentive at all. It was the worst Thanksgiving ever.

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. There was some confusion about who was waiting on us. We were never given a card to fill out for an omelet. However, the wait staff was quite nice and friendly and kept us in hot coffee.

When we arrived, the server asked us what we would like to order, but then tells us that they were out of filet and scallops—two out of only nine entree choices. It was 4:30 on Sunday. We left.

We ate here before a concert at the Well. Cocktails were prepared to perfection. We ordered the wings (dry rub) - just OK - and the Margherita flatbread (was mislabled...it was a white pizza with three dried tomatoes). Forget about ordering this. We really enjoyed the Wagyu sliders. Four of these puppies (with fries) and your drinks would be sufficient. Our server was excellent. We'll return for cocktails and the Wagyu sliders.

2 of 10 entrees were 86 so 20% of the entree menu was gone. If you are only going to serve 10 items try to keep it stocked. Party of 4 tried four other option and none were very good. Salmon was dried out. Sauces were bland. Service was what I would expect at a sit down fast food chain. Has great potential but needs some improvements.

The kitchen was constantly burning something on the grill and made our eyes burn. The smell was very difficult to muster through. Two of us ordered the Tenderloin Farfalle and it was not good. The shrimp and grits and bbq were fine. The menu was extremely overpriced. The waitress was fine but we were left with empty drink glasses most of the night. Won’t be returning.

Had made brunch reservations on a Saturday- I didn’t realize it was a brunch buffet. That being said, the food was good and enjoyable. I do wish there were non-buffet options outside of the Omlets and waffles. Otherwise, it was lovely.

The $25 brunch buffet was lacking for the price. Chicken strips from a freezer and brisket were the two proteins. The Brussel sprouts were good. The bill of fare seemed more like the comp lunches at a free investment seminar. Very disappointed.
