Customer service was amazing. Wait staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful. They cleared our table in a timely manner and refilled our coffee without prompting. Food was good as expected. Tasty, flavorful, and temperature appropriate. It was worth the buffet price we paid. The only drawback was that there were so many flies! It took away from the nice and pleasurable ambiance. We were constantly shooing away flies and covering our food.

Cons: First staff member (male) to approach our table silently filled our water; no greeting, no invitation to make our way to the buffet. Buffet didn’t have eggs and bacon very undercooked. Coffee was self serve and ran out, making us wait for more to brew. Crab would run out and we’d have to keep checking the line for refill. Saw a guest cutting the prime rib for himself because no one there to serve. Pros: The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Obviously understaffed and they were doing their best. Fun to speak with the pastry chef, who was encouraging guests to try the stolli, which was delicious. All the desserts and crab was very good. In spite of the shortcomings, we enjoyed our time there.
