    Food was not good this year. For a Ritz experience the food was basic and didn’t live up to expectations. The event should probably be moved inside next year as it was freezing and many of the heat lamps were not working or on by 10am. The craft and cookies were enjoyed by our kids but my coffee and food was disappointing. Santa looked amazing but we won’t return next year.

    Overall the experience was not as anticipated. Price exceeded the value, service lacking and our table not ready despite reservations. When they seated our group of 4 there were only 2 chairs and table settings.

    Great Buffett. The stock music was a little loud for our tastes but that’s about it. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars is we’ve been to The Breakers for Thanksgiving and it just wasn’t quite at that level but overall very good.
