   Went for our 15 year anniversary a couple of months ago and experience was fantastic. Had some live music with a man and his guitar, wasn’t as nice as the big live black male band on our anniversary( go on a Thursday eve for that) singing all the Marvin Gaye and Stevie wonder + hits, but was enjoyable. Went again for Thanksgiving with 7 family members & restaurant did not disappoint. Spread was beautifully curated with a few more extras to highlight the Thanksgiving holiday. I think I had about 5 lobster tails 2 being the thermador. Crab was great but a bit spikey and hard to hold. Love that they had lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fluffy Persian rice too. Surprised I was able to to enjoy some of their decadent desserts, as the bread pudding was delish along with the apple cinnamon roll. Everyone had such a good time that they were talking about returning next year with additional family members. So perhaps this will be a new tradition. Def recommend going here instead of shopping, cleaning, cooking and cleaning again.

   Great food, esp if you stick to the seafood and sides. The meats can be a bit underwhelming. Skip the boba . Lobster tails were the star. Coffee and desserts for a sweet finish. Expensive but would definitely go back.

   On a regular day, the food and service would be a ten out of ten. But today, the food was mid, the caviar expensive was trash. They should have had real caviar. The king crab was not even worth it. The lobster was over cooked. And the service was disappointing. I'll come back on a regular day but never again on a special day. It's just not worth it.

   great experience at Cafe Sierra. Took my mother out who does not like Turkey and loves seafood. She was so happy with the selection and ate way too much like all of us did. Great attentive warm service and excellent big selection of food. We had a wonderful time!

   First off, yes it is worth the price I paid. Second, yes you get unlimited king crab legs, lobsters, prime rib, etc. The food is all edible although since it is a buffet not all things are as good as you can find elsewhere - but that is expected. And if you love king crab or lobster, this is your place. Servers were all friendly but sometimes they got busy, especially early in the evening, but nothing that would be called anything but great for a buffet. Desserts were good, and better than expected. Live music was nice. Parking was great and fairly normal at just $20. Expect a good upscale buffet at a fair price considering the upscale nature of what they serve. Expect lots of birthday parties (and other celebrations) around you and join in the celebration. Maybe I'll see you there.
