   Sadly it was very disappointing. House salad was good.fruit good. Roasted potatoes were ok. Lo mean was awful, cold greasy and no flavor. The Jason's chicken was dry and over cooked. Scrambled eggs over cooked. Bacon partially raw. Shrimp nice size and sadly again over Cooked. Cinnamon roll was good, but the way it was served could have been presented Better. It was served in a chafing dish, so everything was a stuck together. Ham was just ok. Sadly, the person carving the prime rib had no idea how to carve properly. You ended up with A piece of meat on your plate that you could not cut, because it being carved incorrectly. I didn't try the pasta salad. Some dishes were held until 3 o'clock, which at lunch time should be included. I think fine to pull the breakfast items off at 3 o'clock. Also no bread offered with Salad , which is strange. The buffet was setup on top of the bar setting area which made it Difficult to open and close the chafing dishes. Unfortunately, we won't go back. If you want to spend 100.00 go somewhere else. 😔

   Food was very tasty. Price was a little steep for a buffet.

   Our service was terrible. We didn’t get drink refills, we had a spill of water a large thing of napkins just thrown on table (people couldn’t eat then). We believe the service was awful because they knew they were going to auto add tip based on the size of our group. We had a large group and we were an easy group- definitely won’t be recommending this to a large group. Likely will not return.

   The food was amazing and it was so nice and quiet in the restaurant which is helpful for our autistic son. We had the combo fried rice, crab Rangoon, dynamite shrimp, and the diavolo pasta. 10000/10.

   Easter brunch upstairs was subpar. Ambience was stiff and corporate and felt put together haphazardly. Food was okay but nothing to write home about and some desserts were still frozen. Not impressed. I imagine first floor was better and that regular restaurant offerings are better than this.

   My family and I ate here on Easter for the buffet brunch. There were three adults and a kid in our party. There was a variety of foods available like spicy chicken, fried rice, salads, breakfast meats, and ham/roast beef available at a carving station. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the Asian items. The crab rangoon, lo mein, and chicken were very good. I do wish they had some American breakfast items like waffles, pancakes, or French toast. Our server, Andre if I recall correctly, was very good. He informed us of the items, lay of the land, and kept our beverages topped off.

   Roast beef was dry and tough. Eggs were cold. Bacon was not evenly cooked—some parts were still almost raw. Chicken was overcooked. No beef stirfy to put over fried rice. Overall, the quality was poorer than other times we hhave attended your buffets and the variety and amount of choices were fewer. Considering the price, we probably will not be back.

    We had a 10am reservation for Easter brunch. At 10:02am the doors were still locked and I had to call the restaurant because we (and several other guests) were outside shivering. An associate unlocked the doors, but couldn’t be bothered to open the door to let guests in. The floors in the bar area where we were seated and where the buffet was were sticky, and there was hair stuck to the underside of our table. Only half the food was out at the buffet by the time we got up to serve ourselves. Food was lackluster. It was obvious they were not prepared for 10am service. Our server was nice. A manager never stopped by to touch our table. We had plans to attend for Mother’s Day brunch, but after this experience we’ll be looking elsewhere.
