We had a lovely Thanksgiving lunch. The hostess was kind enough to find us a quiet corner booth that was perfect for four seniors, especially our 92 year old mother. Bruce, our server was attentive without being intrusive. We all had fresh fish that was perfectly prepared and delicious.

Once again the Thanksgiving buffet didn't disappoint. Outstanding food selection and execution. Best cake that we have had in years. All staff, including the concierge who greeted us as we came into the Main lobby, were just friendly and outstanding. They all went out of their way to assist.

No place better to go before and after a show. We went before, and my husband's Alfredo was so good we went back for dessert after and I got an Alfredo to bring home

The food was excellent, especially the shrimp and grits... full of flavor and the right amount of kick. The service matched the food. The shrimp and grits alone are reasons to come back, but I look forward to trying something from the rest of the menu which looked appetizing.
