    Overall the experience was not as anticipated. Price exceeded the value, service lacking and our table not ready despite reservations. When they seated our group of 4 there were only 2 chairs and table settings.

    Great Buffett. The stock music was a little loud for our tastes but that’s about it. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars is we’ve been to The Breakers for Thanksgiving and it just wasn’t quite at that level but overall very good.

    We had the Thanksgiving Brunch. It was great . The desserts fabulous. The violinist played some for the kids. Moana and Bluey, kudos to her. The ballon’s for kids were great. Our table server was not good. Not attentive and slow to get our beverages. Loved the pictures we got.
