food service. everything was great. Our waiter was so attentive and was so nice. I ordered my favorite spinach enchiladas and Husband order grilled mahi mahi tacos. We were sad to see that they do not make the beer battered ones anymore.

Buffet was very busy and more servers were needed. A large group came at the same time we arrived so it was difficult to get drinks, and we were unable to use the omelette station due to long lines

Usually we have an amazing time but this time was a little disappointing. Our usual server wasn’t there and the one we had wasn’t very attentive, some of the food had flies all over, quite a few stations had dirty plates, it just wasn’t as good as usual.
