    This was a wonderful surprise and is why we like OpenTable. We were searching for a last-minute place to eat and went to OpenTable right away. It is always a great way to try a new restaurant without feeling like you are throwing darts at a board. Offcina did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. We were here the day after Christmas, so it was a light night for them, but the staff was attentive and provided the service you would expect at any top-notch restaurant. The Michelin rating is well deserved. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    Went for the Christmas Day Brunch and Dinner buffett as something different for achristmas this year. The food was great. Only complaint was that they needed to have larger plates of some of the featured meats so they didn't empty so quickly. They also had items from the kitchen that were walked around and offered by staff frequently. The wait staff and management team were incredibly attentive and friendly. The noise level was very loud, but that should be expected when a place is that busy, especially with a lot of families or groups of friends sitting around several tables. Overall, a great choice as a deviation from a normal Christmas breakfast.
