    Buffet was great but the music was too loud from the performer to music over the speakers hard to talk to my son and husband at the table. Also the table we were put at I literally had to climb up on to the stools.. a smaller closer to the gound table would have been better since both my son and i are 5/1 and my feet were dangling .

    Thanksgiving dinner at Grain was an experience. Not only was Thanksgiving fare offered, but brunch items were offered as well. Our server was excellent and quite attentive to our needs. The noise level was rather high (even without the live entertainment), but that would likely not be the case during the summer months with outdoor seating available. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with excellent food and great seating.

    We celebrated Thanksgiving at Grain. We traveled from Atlanta, GA to visit family. Everything was excellent. Good food. Good fun. Good fellowship.

    The music was a bit too loud, making conversations very difficult. The musician who played during the Thanksgiving brunch was fantastic, though. Our server, Andre, was fabulous. The food was excellent. Will definitely return next year for Thanksgiving brunch.

    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.

    The drinks are always $2 more than the menu on the table states. That is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5 stars.
