    The low rating was not due to an actual evaluation of the restaurant. The times noted on the website did not reflect the exact hours of the restaurant, so we could not dine as planned as the restaurant was at 11:00 AM, the time of our reservation, and would not reopen until 4:00 PM. The restaurant staff helped secure another dining opportunity at a nearby local restaurant, which was wonderful.

    Service was impeccable, and the appetizers were delicious and fresh. We ordered the NY Strip and Ribeye, both were lacking in flavor, no seasoning or marinade. Same with the veggies. Desserts were excellent.

    $20 breakfast buffet was out of bacon the entire time. Its the exact same breakfast they serve for free at every hotel. I had reservations for a nice brunch and was extremely disappointed. Loud. Leave yourself. Nothing was clean.

    I made this reservation for Valentine's Day dinner. When we arrived, the hostess advised that they had developed a one-choice-only dinner menu for $79.99/person. That is quite a bit more expensive than what is on the regular menu. There was no notification of this change prior to our arrival at the restaurant. It did look like a nice place and I would have enjoyed dinner there, but I do not appreciate the bait-and-switch that they tried to pull on us on a special occasion. We did not stay, but rather went to one of our favorite restaurants down the street.

    The Embers needs a makeover. There was no hostess, the bartender seated us and got our waters while we waited for the line waitress to come take our drink and food orders. The staff was friendly and we conversed but there was hardly anyone in the restaurant and again two people working the entire restaurant. Before we left a group had come in, I hope they weren’t in a hurry.

    The staff was curteous and helpful. The food options were plentiful, but the buffet food quality was not $59 a person good. Guess the surcharge for Christmas day. This was a $35 meal at best. I was also surprised there was not any alcohol. The bar is there, but no bloody mary or wine. Again, the staff and service were great, and the food was fair.

    It was not a good experience at all. The price for value was ridiculous.

    The buffet had several empty offerings - salad, desert table, appetizer area. Our water was never refilled, and we were offered nothing for drink/tea options. We were seated directly by the breakfast station when the restaurant was 50% empty. When we asked to be moved we were moved in front of a door people were going in and out of. And what type of Christmas buffet doesn't have green beans? Service was awful, food at best average. Won't be visiting again and definitely will not recommend to any acquaintance or friend.

    Who has a Thanksgiving Buffet and no pumpkin pie! Meal was worth 39.99 not 69.99. Food was good but set up was all wrong. Tables for 2 were banquet size for six and wait service was extremely bad. We had to pour our own water only saw waitress twice. Table cloths were too big for tables and napkins was cheap and shabby. Dining since 2019 on TG and this was the worse. Being consistent in the business is important and you lose that your lose customers.
