Have been going for a few years now, this year they raised the price and made us pay for mimosas. Food selections seemed smaller this year as well.

We could only get a thanksgiving buffet reservation for 6:30, we were seated in a timely manner. When we went up to the buffet, it seemed like they were already finished serving, all the chafing dishes were 1/2 or less full, mashed potatoes were dry and hard (had been there a while!) no stuffing! Turkey scraps as best I can describe it, the carving station had no turkey! Dessert bar had desserts condensed, one plate had cheese cake, pumpkin pie and some other pie (maybe pecan) pie like they were ready to put it, or throw it away. Waitress was nowhere to be found when we wanted coffee to go with our “dessert” if you want to eat here (I will not) go early or you’re getting scraps, ruined our holiday.

We went for their Thanksgiving buffet - which was absolutely excellent! Every morsel perfectly done! Plenty of fabulous choices for both dinner and dessert. Staff was very attentive and professional...was great teamwork start to finish. Would recommend anytime. Price was average for a nicer restaurant right on the water.

Thanksgiving buffet. The food was just ok. Lots of it and there was never a line. Servers did not come over often enough for drinks. I had to flag them down and we were forced a 20% gratuity for not the best service. Overall it was just ok and overpriced. It cost 300 for 4 people and we didn’t have drinks. Cappuccinos at the end were not included and cost an extra 32. We will not go back for Thanksgiving. However we love this restaurant on a regular day with the regular menu.
