    It’s like a Golden Corral but for seafood. Too many seating spots and hoards of people. Food was edible but nothing memorable. We will NEVER go back.

    Buffet food - the lobster was good but rest pretty subpar. Have to be better options on the island. Service was between slow and nonexistent.

    We were disappointed with the lobster, which we had been most excited for. Unfortunately, it was tough, chewy, and overcooked. The seafood buffet was limited to just the grill station, with no variety at other stations. It would have been nice to see seafood options at the hot station or even a seafood soup. The grilled seafood lacked flavor and was quite one-dimensional. While the service was excellent, it sometimes felt a bit overwhelming, as the constant clearing of plates interrupted the flow of a relaxing dinner.

    It was all you could eat seafood night! Absolutely delicious! We had lobster and shrimp, all prepared by the chef right in front of us. Our server, Elizabeth anticipated every need or want. We throughly enjoyed our dinner.

    This buffet is unique. There are a lot of salad, side and dessert options besides the ALL YOU CAN EAT SEAFOOD! There is a designated list of seafood to choose from. Once you make your selections, they will cook it for you in the sauce you choose. Delicious. There are a few things that did not impress us. Pop and tea was supposed to be included in the AYCE (All You Can Eat) price. I was charged for my pop. The most disappointing thing to mention is the unexpected/surprise “Service Charge Fee” that was approximately $18-ish dollars on top of the agreed upon AYCE buffet price. When I questioned this, they said it is money distributed amongst all of the employees… which in my mind is a tip, which is strange to me because the food is self-serve (other than the guy cooking the seafood), and the waiter only brought drinks. I left some additional money, but not my typical tip.
