   We were on time and seated for Thanksgiving buffet dinner at two small round cocktail tables pushed together. The tablecloth dragged under the table and I kept stepping on it.Our reservation was for 4 only 3 could attend. This was a small and awkward seating which made conversation difficult and eating cramped. We waited for a server to take a drink order ,after 15 minutes I looked for someone. The woman I found seemed to be a manager. She took our order and then came back without our drinks and apologized. After 30 minutes they arrived. Looking around there was only 1 server working.The charcuterie board which was advertised had bland supermarket cheese, no meats, olives or other usual items. The crackers were Pepperidge farm ( butterfly shaped and other). They shrimp was not good and the oysters smelled fishy. I messaged the restaurant with my disappointment as stated here and have had no response. This was $80. Per person. It was a very disappointing unpleasant Thanksgiving dining experience.

   6:45 Fri night and we were alone in the restaurant. Found the experience just OK, Nothing bad but nothing to rave about either. A little pricey for the experience

   We had a wonderful dinner with another couple on a Friday night. The service and the food were excellent. The group order the Surf and turf special, the blackened swordfish and the shrimp and scallop capellini. The waitress was attentive (Audrianna?) and the bartender Tom was extremely efficient and cordial. It is a shame that no more people were there.

   Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the dinner, and we’ll make sure to pass your compliments on to Audrianna and Tom. We hope to see you back for another great evening soon!

    The place had 4 tables sat when we walked in. The table we were sat at was dirty. They clearly don’t have enough staff. The food was below par for the price they charge. The drinks were good but let’s be honest it’s tough to screw up beer and vodka soda. I don’t know what happened to this place. The food was once great.
