We came to Traditions for our Christmas Day dinner. It was $350 for four adults and an all you can eat buffet style. The waitress was very nice but had too many tables - the drink orders, refills, bread runs, bussing tables, and questions from her area was just too much. She gave it a solid effort and kept a cheerful attitude, though. The guys helping behind the buffet were all polite and helpful, too. The food buffet was kept warm and containers were kept full. That said, it wasn't anything particularly good - especially for the price. We would consider going back if the price was half of what it was but there are much better restaurants in the same price bracket in the area.

Sadly having a late reservation was not a benefit, some of the food was cold, others tasted like it had been there too long and they ran out of some deserts. We were seated right at an entrance to the dining room, assigned seating I assume, We ordered a glass of wine and didn't realize the tip (noted service charge) was included, we still tipped our server additional as it was not her fault, she was amazing. Coffee was very weak and not overly hot. Granted t was Christmas Eve and busy, but when you offer a buffet you should prepare for each guest to be the first guest. Their signature Bread Pudding was the bomb, the cabernet delicious.

Buffet had few selections, by 7pm, the offerings looked stale, the restaurant was not decorated for Christmas. The setting looked like a diner instead of a dining room. The best part was the bread pudding.

“Illumination Dinner” with NO viewable fireworks! ???? Go somewhere else. $200 for 2.5 ppl to dine on buffet, consisting of 1 soup, 3 salads & 4ish entrees and ONE side dish. Nothing conducive for kids. Mandatory $30 tip to get 2.5 drinks filled twice. PATHETIC!

Grand Illumination buffet left a lot to be desired. Service was wonderful and we had a lovely table, but food was not what I was expecting. Main course options were limited and did not have basics like mashed potatoes or a vegetable. Everything looked grey. Soup and salads were yummy and dessert was small bites of pies/cakes.
