    Food and servers were great. Quite pricey. There needs to be a better way of lining people up for the buffet…..they told you to go one way, then they told you to go another. Too many people were let in at once! We experienced 2 young kids about 12 from France and Belgium being pushed out of line by another customer…..control the crowd please so things like this don’t happen.

    Don’t EVER go when there is a buffet like today, Christmas! It was unorganized and chaotic…the line to the buffet had you going around people at their table having their food while peoples’ butts swiped by them (my apologies to those people). It took a good 45 minutes to return to our table with our food. As for our food offerings; one plate was difficult to fill with all the choices and without trays it was difficult to maneuver your plate and choose your dish. Some dishes were good like the ham and roast beef as well as “usual” dishes like salad, string beans, sweet potato,etc. but the desserts could probably have been my whole meal. We didn’t go back for a second round due to the long line again. Most of all….it was $85 per person, drinks not included!

    Nice Christmas buffet. Long line and desert table was in the way of the front of the buffet so people were a bit confused on the flow. Over all the food was fantastic but Mashed Potatoes and gravy was missing :(. No bread was served but the fried chicken was awesome!! We enjoyed our dinner.

    Our server was wonderful! He knew all about the decor and had great facts! They were also very accommodating. The smaller room got really cold, since people were leaving, so I asked if we can move to the big room, which had more people and was warmer. They looked into it and was able to grant the request. I was sad that the raviolis were sold out. We both had the lamb burgers. They were amazing! Would recommend!

    Had a wonderful meal there, great server, but they need to work on their timing of reservations and moving tables along. There were many groups waiting over 30 minutes past their reservation because their table wasn’t leaving.

    Terrible! Worst service and I was her only table for a while on Christmas Eve on patio. Ordered a starter and entree and they dumped it on me all at once. And then tried to bring entree back only a few minutes later. It was unbelievable and ruined the experience. Salad was disgusting and part inedible. Scallops were good but at this point I just wanted to leave. I traveled here to ‘celebrate’ an anniversary of being alive after surviving a tragedy on Xmas Eve and this was not what I expected. They didn’t even acknowledge the lack of service. I will never come back and now know I don’t need to try the Denver location. Pretty inside so maybe grab a drink at the bar otherwise skip it entirely. Ruined my night
