    This was a buffet and unfortunately it’s very difficult to keep food really warm without overcooking it. The food was not overcooked, but it wasn’t as warm as I like it. Maybe coming earlier might have been better I was quite impressed by the quality of the swordfish (and by the fact that it was not at all dry) by and the brussels sprouts, and my son loved the steak and stuffing I felt it was a little too expensive even though there was some wide variety of selections.

    What a wonderful way to start a Sunday. The food that was ordered was excellent, well cooked, looking good on the plate, and delicious. A lovely combination of items on the main course that we ordered, that was not big but had wonderful component parts. The service was excellent. There were many other intriguing items the menu as well. Who could ask for anything more.

    We have always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, pace, service and ambience. To night it was 5 stars again. But it was a special night for us on our 40th wedding anniversary. Our Waiter, Nate, was as stellar as ever. Yummy and creative offerings left us happy and amazed. Thank you all. Nicki & Allen
