    The food was good, the service was great… but… it was SO cold. Uncomfortably cold. I don’t know why they didn’t have their heater going but it detracted from the experience.

    Love this place. However, we were all shocked with the amount of food you got for the price. Very small portions. I don’t remember it being that way. But the place is so great and great service!!!

    Sunday brunch. They weren’t stingy with the pouring of mimosas, so the value for the cost was pretty good. The food was a typical brunch buffet, nothing very noteworthy flavor wise. The prime rib was above average for a buffet. The ribs had good flavor. The Mexican food items were bland and could tell they had been sitting for a while / soggy veggies, dry meat.

    Got there early at 530 for a 6 pm reservation, hoping to get in a little early. They said no due to other reservations, however we got sat at 555pm and there was 5 tables outside since 530 that were still open. When we left at 7pm there were still those same 5 tables outside open. There seemed to only be 1 server outside working and she was amazing.

    The bill came with Tip Suggestions which includes the Tax. Has always been this way at this restaurant. Nobody should Tip on Tax. We’re already paying almost 9% tax and the restaurant is suggesting we pay another 18-25% tip on the tax. This is total consumer deception.

    Service was very slow, took along time between visits between our table and kitchen other tables. For example we asked for cheese bread come before dinner and we got it after we received our dinner. One guest asked if the chicken was boneless chicken breast and was told yes, when we got the dinner our chicken breasts had maybe a leg or thigh attached. Over all dinner wasn’t a great experience.

    Been to this restaurant for years, live about 2 minutes away. The services, food quality, and ambiance are always excellent. Made reservations for my wife's bday and showed up on time and it was a very short wait; and were seated within a few short minutes. The food tasted great, even asked for a little taste of the rice pilaf to see if I wanted the pilaf or the mashed potatoes. I opted for the rice pilaf after given a small amount to taste. Karen, (yes, thats her name, unfortunate I know) was a great waitress and even wished my wife a happy birthday. Don't always come here, but we always know what type of service and food we get when we come here, and it is always excellent.
