I went this year to the Thanksgiving Buffet and last year. This time around they weren’t out of anything and everything tasted great. The table bread was great, the entrees and raw bar were great. And as always the desserts were wonderful. The banana foster dessert was stupendous. The only thing I was critical about was that we were on the patio outside and it was a pleasant 76 degrees but the heater was on and I was feeling it. And the front hosting area was full of 4,5,sometimes 6 workers crowding around the check in. Would maybe be better if they had that part better organized and less folks standing around, because that’s always a bad look. I will of course come here again for other events because the value is quite good, the servers are very pleasant, and the quality and selection of food is top notch.
