We went for the prefix Thanksgiving dinner. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. I love the restaurant. The downside was that it wasn't clear to me that it was buffet style until I got to the restaurant. The buffet area was small and hard to maneuver through with the heavy crowd. The other issue was the food wasn't hot, it was luke warm at best... potatoes cold. The taste and quality of the food was excellent. I would only do Thanksgiving there again if it was a prefixed menu and I was served at the table. With all of this said, every other time I go to this restaurant it's always excellent

We’re first time diners who really enjoyed our visit! Terrific food—we had lobster croquettes and the wedge salad to start, then the seafood spaghetti, and the pork chop. All very good! Attractive decor, friendly service, and seriously, the wine list is Extremely Reasonably Priced! We’ll be back!
