    We had reservations for 2 dinners, Christmas day and following day. Christmas dinner was a buffet. We were seated and we ordered our drinks. When we started at buffet there were no plates available. We mentioned that they said the plates are at the end of the buffet and there were no plates even at the end of the buffet. Then they realized and brought plates. The Stew was not leuk warm and the roast beef was very dry. And had to apply more butter. The server was very hospitable and friendly, but the food did not make the mark for a Christmas dinner. The following day's dinner was sit down style and we enjoyed the food we got served that night. There is plenty of room to improve the food that they serve for price they charge. Overall it is very nice restaurant with good ambience and good hospitable people serving and if they improve more on the food it will flourish.
