   The Meadowview Conf Ctr is always a pleasure to visit. Last night's dinner visit was no exception. The menu choice and taste were excellent. My only suggestion is for the staff to find a way to keep the food items warm. Two items that I selected, salmon and spaghetti with meatballs, were almost cold. Others were not exactly "piping hot". I know this can be a problem with buffets, but it's one that detracts from the overall experience.

   Very disorganized no guidance as to where to check in . When you did get checked in the hostesses were not very good at calling names out. Ran out of several items had to wait on those. Food was spread out in several different rooms. Made no sense. Not near as good as it was 5 years ago. Probably won’t go back.

   NEVER sign up with at this sight for a meal because it could be similar to what we experienced at the Meadowview, it was a complete disaster . We arrived at 2:45 prior to our 3:00 seating time. People were everywhere , somewhere between 90 - 110 people waiting to be seated. We were finally seated at 3:50 PM in a large room filled with table that had not been cleaned off from previous guests. We entered the rooms containing our food, the the shrimp was all gone. There was no fresh food. All containers of vegetables had a small amounts of cold food. The carving tables depleted of hot meats. It was all cool, very little turkey and the server told us if we wanted good hot food we should have made an earlier seating time. The deserts were picked over with very few choices. We were having our family visiting from Anaheim Hills, California and we wanted to provide them a good meal, so we made reservations at what we thought was one of the best restaurants in tri-cities. We made our reservations at a premium priced facility expecting a premium good meal and instead we received cold leftovers with low quality meals.

   We were there for the Thanksgiving Buffet. Our reservations were at 3 and we had to wait for over 1 hour. The Turkey, Ham get a 10 and the Prime Rib gets a 8. They ran out of a lot of food and we had to wait on rolls, mashed potatoes. No peel and eat shrimp at all. The service was great! They were not prepared for the number of people that made reservations. Our experience at the Friday night Seafood Buffet has always been good.

   Reservation was for 3p, they finally seated us at 4p. Food was cold, they ran out of many items, had to ask them repeatedly to replenish plates. It was a complete mess considering the cost of over $50 a head including children who eat nothing. The staff was doing their best, I blame management for this utter failure. Last time I eat here.

   Over an hour late, ran out of plates, ran out of food, food was terrible, service was fair to good. Value was terrible. Was very disappointed. Would not consider a buffet again. Everyone made excuses but only 1 waitress tried to smooth things over and we were very quiet when presenting out issues that directly affected our experience. No manager in sight.

    Reservation was 3 and we didn’t get seated until 3:45. Ran out of some of the food. Because you had to pay ahead of time you could not go anywhere else. Kept running out of plates to eat off of. It was a really bad experience. Food was ok if you could get any. My making a reservation you would think they could have enough food. Price was too high for what there was. First time I got to experience going out for thanksgiving and it was just a big let down. I hope something can be done about it.
