    Although the food was mostly satisfactory and the service was friendly, the value and pricing left a bit to be desired. The carving station attendant sliced off chunks of ham and prime rib the thickness of Texas Toast, all well in advance, so the meat was cool, if not cold. The scrambled eggs were old and hard, not fresh and fluffy. For the Easter Sunday buffet, our party of less than 4 was charged a "large party fee" of 20%. Even if that was a tip, all we got for that was a refill of our drinks. For a buffet, the customer waits on him/herself. Then they had the gall to charge tax on the meal and on the large party fee (tip). At least the place wasn't crowded. Probably won't be for a while.

    The restaurant did not state on the Open Table site it was having a fixed menu for $80. The service was slow and somewhat non-responsive. My associate barfed her food up on the way home.

    Not what it used to be. Medium steak was well done. Twice bake potato was half a baked potato with American cheese. Red fish was thin and dry. Way over priced for the quality of food.

    The ham and prime rib were either too dry or too raw, below acceptable level.

    We had the most excellent waitress, Elizabeth. She was very helpful while ordering and cheerful the entire time we were there. We could not ask for better food or service.

    I was looking forward to going here when I got to town and it was an utter disaster. Out of beer. Steak was cooked so poorly I couldn’t believe it from a steakhouse! Waiter was borderline argumentative when I showed him the raw steak telling me he will ask the cook if the steak is cooked properly. (Ordered medium rare and I like it rare and had to send it back because it need 5 more minutes to get to rare) Had reservations for the next night and cancelled before the food was returned still undercooked
