    It was wonderful. The atmosphere was steller, service was great. Food was good but cool. We had a buffet. The food all could have been hotter. They needed more fire under the meat and veggies.

    Had reservations for 4 o’clock did not get seated until four 4445, most items on the buffet if they were filled, we’re not really hot and it took a while for them to replenish the missing items. Some of the items listed on the buffet menu were never out our server was wonderful and kept stopping by the table to check on us believe they just need the fine tune the flow of food to the buffet and find a better way to keep the food hot.

    Christmas Buffet was well worth the $55. Many food entrees to choose from. My only ding from a 5 star to a 4 was the food was not hot--just warm. Loved the sides and the bread options. Drinks were overpriced! I had a Manhattan--really tasty.

    The Christmas buffet was overpriced for the quality of food. I enjoy brunches often but this place will not be on repeat. The quality and variety of food I’ve had other other places is much better. This should have been $30 and that’s with a drink. I was hoping for better but now I know. Thumbs down.

    I have been to this founding farmers several times. It seems the food is not as good each time and food presentation is sloppy and food not very good. Also when ordering 35 dollar plates lack of enough food.
