    This was my 3rd year attending the Thanksgiving Buffet at the Reef Restaurant for Thanksgiving. Our seating time was 5pm. We were not impressed with the set up for dining. It was not the usual cozy setting as we were seated in one of the banquet rooms. We were shown to our table and told the food was in the room next door. After going through line for food, we went back to our table, only to find we did not have silverware. We had one of the service staff get silverware for us which took several minutes. By that time our food had cooled down. Not impressed. The can sodas were way too expensive. The dessert left much to be desired. I am sure next Thanksgiving we will ponder whether to make reservations.

    Our family enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner here. It was delicious. Everyone we encountered was lovely. We topped it off with some ice skating afterward. It was a fun Thanksgiving!

    The meal was far from what we expected. The coffee had grounds in it. The iced tea was not labeled as to sweet or unsweetened. The ‘whipped potatoes’ were far from being whipped and were tasteless. The sweet potato casserole was not a casserole but merely chunks of potatoes dumped from a can. The few oysters that could be found in the stuffing were dried up. The butternut soup was not hot and had no seasoning. There were no spoons available and when asked for a spoon, none was provided. Half of the steamed shrimp had a mushy texture. The kid’s hamburgers were too rare for kids. The ham was mostly fat. The room was cold and the dishes and cups were cold. By the time we sat down with our food, it was cold. The waitresses appeared to have little training and were seldom scene. The only items that were good were the turkey breast, french fries, carrot cake and sheet cake. This was no means worth the high price that we paid. Needless to say, it is off our radar for the future!

    Drinks took a long time… My daughter’s filet came out after everyone’s meal, not cooked the way she ordered it. It was a nice restaurant, expensive, not worth it.

    Not bad for an easy hassle free dinner. Based on our group's dinner order; salmon and scampi were good while crabcakes were not edible.

    Our waitress was very attentive as was the manager. Our table had salad with tuna and short ribs. Both were excellent. Topped off with hot fudge sundaes. What great endings to a totally satisfying dining experience.

    What a pleasant surprise to find tucked into the Carousel Resort. Real-world standards, high quality ingredients. A who seems to be bringing cuisine you’d expect to find in a big cuisine to OC. Returned several times over the season. Short ribs over polenta is a favorite. Seafood pasta was excellent. Hoping this trend continues!
