This is a really nice restaurant. The food and service is phenomenal. The only downside is that both times that I have gone to the buffet, they always run out of Grilled Salmon for good before I can get any. They are cut in small little cubes and I can’t understand why it’s always the salmon that they can’t replenish. Super disheartening when you don’t eat pork, beef or chicken. For $60 pp they should be able to get someone to run to a grocery store real quick. Sheeshhh Other than that, I’d recommend.

What a beautiful spot! The drinks and food are top-notch. When we arrived at 8:30, it was perfect! Low hum of noise and spacious. As the night went on, it got very crowded and very loud. Both are nice and the crowd ensures survival- Just choose your preference and time it accordingly!
