    Overall experience is excellent. The buffet station chefs' are accommodating. The waiter is nice too. The prime rib is perfectly seasoned and soft. They had plenty of food; variety of meat carvings, fish, poultry, pasta, steamed/roasted vegetables and salad. They even have an omelet station and waffle station. Fresh Fruits and delightful passion fruit mimosa. I would absolutely comeback and recommend this establishment.

    We decided to sit at the bar instead of the dining room so we could watch NBA playoff games. What a great decision. The 3-person bar team of Cameron, Paige, and Victoria were so friendly and fun, and provided excellent service. We had some special requests for a menu item and they were fully accommodated with zero issue (or attitude). Service was prompt and attentive without being aggressive or “too much”. The amusing banter among the bartenders was entertaining, and when we inserted ourselves into their conversation it felt like we were talking to old friends. We will definitely be back - I plan to become a regular! (Also - highly recommend the Long Snapper specialty cocktail, mussels appetizer, French Onion soup that has a savory hunk of short rib in it, and fish and chips entree.)

    Best crab dip by far that I've ever had! Also, the pricing of wines is very reasonable. Service is always reliable and with a smile. Expect us to come many times!
