   We always dine out for the holidays and have had all sorts of experiences, but this by far was the best. I was hesitant with the buffet style but the food was very flavorful and proper temp. We will definitely make this a regular holiday spot, in addition to the other times we go.

   Very nice Thanksgiving buffet. Service was outstanding (Jess) and food was wonderful. The Green Egg brisket, prime rib, slow roasted Turkey and Faroe Island Salmon were all amazing. It was crazy busy but the service staff handled it exceptionally well.

   This event was poorly managed. The parking lot was overwhelmingly full. Valet parking was overwhelmed. Reservation was 30 minutes late. Asked about getting a drink at the bar. One bartender, making foo foo drinks for the ladies. The back up at the bar ridiculous. This backup spilled into the passage for the entire restaurant to go to the buffet. I pity the two tables that had to endure that cluster**** The buffet chafing dishes were dirty and dripping from use. Soup station was filthy. The charcuterie station was really weak. I laughed at the signs for “artisan bread“ Artisans be offended. There was an open cauldron of gravy that everyone passed by at the carving station, God knows what fell into the bowl. Positives: turkey carving station was very good. Shrimp station was nice and the cocktail sauce was great. The roasted onion salad dressing was very tasty Closing: It appeared to me as though they tried to ram too many people through this place with the staff and planning and facility. Definitely quantity over quality. The OpenTable reading I expected more

   This was their Thanksgiving buffet. The choices were plentiful. A carving station along with turkey on the buffet and all the traditional vegetables. Had an appetizer bar with peel shrimp, cold cuts and a variety of cheeses. Service was great we did not feel rushed. If I was to make one improvement it would be the variety and the display of the desserts. It was underwhelming.

   compared to prior years the buffet was disappointing. The cornbread stuffing was mushy and the dessert bar was lacking in quality and variety.
