    I found the reservation site was a bit tiresome. On site we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. Staff were very attentive but not overly dominant. Food selection was excellent nicely prepared and and presented. Definitely a place I would return to for other special occasions 👍

    We drove up from Minnesota for the Christmas buffet. It wasn't clear to me that reservations were for large groups at a certain time, so we were a bit confused (as were the folks at the table next to us) about the process. However, once we confirmed with our server how it was supposed to work we got in line for the wonderful buffet. Both the food and the service were excellent, and we will be back next year.

    Beautiful table overlooking the water , but buffet brunch was a weird mixture of foods - not typical for a North American brunch. Didn’t get the value for 45.00 per plate

    Do not order the rib eye, it’s thin, dry and over cooked. The wait staff are great but the kitchen is quite slow. I don’t know why I keep going back once a year, it doesn’t improve.
