Thanksgiving Buffett was wonderful for our 3-generation family of 10 including 4 children. The art work really help to keep kids entertained and occupied before and after the dinner. Since kids are done eating before adults, with the art work, adults get to continue eating and relaxing. Another plus was that you get to walk around inside and outside of the hotel with the view of Monterey Bay.

Everything was "on point", service was excellent. the buffet selection was not huge , but everything sans the fresh vegetable cups were perfectly prepared. (dressing was too overpowering) On excellent way to celebrate Thanksgiving, we truly enjoyed ourselves. We will be back!

This is the best Thanksgiving tradition which we started right before Covid hit. We’ve come here with extended family and alone and everyone enjoys the lovely experience. The staff is wonderful and the food is amazing, with something for everyone. They have added fun activities for the kids and a picture for the whole family with a fun, fall background. This is a tradition we enjoy and will keep for years to come!

Festive place to spend your Thanksgiving dollars, and leave the cooking to the experts! Especially delicious were the Starters: imaginative takes on familiar salads and both the lobster pasta and the miso-glazed sea bass were DIVINE! Our waiter was especially kind and attentive- we liked him a lot!

We never had a server. We had to flag down someone every time we wanted a drink, plate clearing, and our check. No one welcomed us to the buffet when we sat down leaving us sitting there for 10 minutes waiting to get our drink order taken. We got up and got food when it was taking so long. We didn’t get our drinks until 20 minutes after our reservation time. Other tables were being served consistently and it felt very disappointing to be ignored that way. Food was delicious though.

Thanksgiving buffet - generous buffet, seafood, prime rib and turkey with all the fixings well stocked and never crowded. It was a very pleasant way to celebrate Thanksgiving. While not inexpensive considering all that was included I felt it offered great value. Staff was gracious and attentive
