   The service was outstanding, menu doesn’t have a lot of options but everything was very flavorful and good portioned. It was my birthday so they provided us with complimentary Champagne!

   The food was amazing, we both had the wagyu steak. Alexa was superb (sweet and accommodating) and anticipated our needs, we were celebrating my husbands birthday and they made us feel very welcomed. I would 100% return. Our steaks were prepared perfectly!!!!! Bravo to the entire team!!!!

   Based on research we were excited to have Thanksgiving dinner at this restaurant. It was a buffet but I’ve been to buffets that are gorgeous so I thought it would be fine. It was horrible. It’s as if the restaurant turned the bar/lounge into a seating area with mismatched tables and chairs that seems more equipped for sipping coffee or cocktails rather than dinner. There were no plates at the buffet when it was time to eat so a line formed and we requested plates 3x before getting them. Food was in big aluminum pans. Cost per person was 65.00 and when the check came there was a 70.00 tip automatically applied. For 4 people! The white wine was warm…we sat at our table trying to enjoy after dinner conversation with dirty plates in front of us for over an hour. Dessert? We had dessert with our dirty dinner plates on the table and reused our utensils because there were not clean ones at the dessert table. I could go on and on. Save yourself a lot of money and dine elsewhere. It made for a very dissatisfying and disappointing Thanksgiving dinner.

   It was the most awful thanksgiving meal I have had in 64 years. Compressed Turkey pieces that were in the shape of a square., no nice fresh slices, The only thing edible was the Stufffing and Green Beans. No mashed potatoes. Server was too busy talking to people he knew. Never came back to see if we needed anything or a drink. Presentation horrible - looked like a food shelter being served. No decorations. Buffet table no presentation. It took me this long to really think of writing my review. Never again.

   Went for thanksgiving buffet. Was advertised as including a lot of seafood, but shrimp was the only seafood offering. Buffett was one table of food that didn’t get refilled very quickly, a decent carving station, and a small dessert area. The food was good, if you could get it, but nothing overwhelmingly delicious. A wide variety of traditional thanksgiving sides, along with roast beef, turkey and ham. The ambiance was excellent, we sat outdoors overlooking the gulf with soft lighting and quiet diners, even the kids. The servers were excellent, but only there for drinks and to clear away plates. Despite that, a 20% tip was automatically added to the bill. Overall, a lovely setting and decent food, but definitely not worth $100 per person.

   We had the Thanksgiving Day buffet and everything was excellent. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t enjoy. We will definitely return for that and of course their regular menu if the buffet was that good. Service was outstanding and the views were fabulous. Parking was no problem. In one word…Outstanding!

   For $83 a person I felt the Thanksgiving Buffet was not good. There were not enough choices of food. Then they automatically charged me %15 gratuity when I served the meal to myself.
