    We had a wonderful time. We were not sure what to expect as this was our first time eating here. it was recommended by a friend and he was not wrong. The service was great and the food was outstanding. The turkey was cooked to perfection as was the prime rib. One of the things that both my husband and I noticed that even though it as a buffet and they were very busy we never felt at anytime that we were being rushed. We will be going back.

    It was a Thanksgiving meal. The service was exceptional and unrushed. The drinks mixed perfectly and the entrees cooked to perfection. We tried all the desserts. It made the holiday perfect and the outdoor dining and view with the perfect weather added to the perfection.

    The Food was exceptional. The top 2 dishes at our table: Wednesday night Lasagna and the incredible unique chicken Parmigiano. The service was very good but food took a bit long to get to table (but the place was totally packed and buzzing - noise level was off the chart inside - outside was full but not as loud). Overall would highly recommend this place - we'll go back again for sure.
