   I would have given the food 5 stars but the muscles were a little funky. Everything else was amazing. I went to celebrate my Mother’s Day , love that I was greeted with a rose. My server was Lisa she was amazing , I would definitely go back and request her again. Thank you for everything

   We went for the Mother’s Day buffet. We were seated at a tiny table squeezed between a wall and against a giant pole (as wide as the table - our elbows we’re literally touching it) and in front of the kitchen, even though there are plenty of other tables available. Our waitress was horrible. Nice girl, but this was a buffet - All she had to do was clear our plates, which she didn’t do. The wait staff stood in the corner, chatting and ignoring their tables. Our service was so bad. We literally had to bring our dishes to a nearby tray to get them off our tiny table. Pathetic buffet. The breakfast food on the buffet was cold. The one decent offering on the lunch buffet was some kind of breaded, lemony chicken, which was cold and very dry. The prime rib was very good, but they did not offer au jus with it - strange. The desserts were very nice. For $65 a head, I was extremely disappointed. I wanted to spoil my mother on Mother’s Day. I felt ripped off by the $150 bill (before tip - no alcoholic beverage purchased) at a restaurant that supposedly has a great reputation. I will not be returning.

   Good restaurant, our server Jori was lovely and patient with my elderly mother in law. Food was solid, cocktails were a fairly light pour though.

   I went for My mothers day party of 4. They got us in right away with our reservation. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the cocktails were on point!

   Absolutely wonderful experience. We were seated right away, there was a wonderful local musician playing at a moderate level, but the songs were laid back and really added to the experience. The presentation of their old fashion was 10/10, and wow the smokiness was there for the rest of the beverage. There were so many great food options it was hard to choose but the butternut ravioli were different than expected, but still so good. Highly recommend.
