   Food was great. Would definitely would come again and recommend this place to others. Our server, Rafael made our night even more enjoyable. He made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our meal. Came by to check on us several times, made sure that our drinks were filled and asked if we needed more food several times. Would definitely come home back and request to have him be our server again.

   It was a little noisy and there was a separate charge for dessert. It was not included in the buffet price.

   Many Salad bar offerings are very vinegary and salty, more than necessary. Better items are the asparagus and green beans. Lettuce is ok; actually, one of the items is nothing more than regular spring mix. Salmon is mediocre. Best in Show are the lobster bisque and another hot dish with black beans and meat in gravy. I only had the salad bar which is overpriced. I hope the meats were outstanding to justify the cost. Servers and setting are better than average. If we didn’t have a credit union discount, I would’ve felt ripped off.

   In the early years nice restaurant the chain has dropped in quality and just pumps it out. Salad bar very sloppy and weak, hot sides were more that have empty and dried out black beans, hardly any rice took a bit to refill. Meats were touch and go. Never saw ribs or lamb chops. Better experiences for the money spent.

   Food…okay…buffet area could be better…hot food looked dried out at 7:00 PM…cold area had some platters looking sloppy with food hanging over the plates and in between. Meats were a little on the chewy side. Not as soft as in Las Vegas! Service…our waiter wasn’t deserving of the 18% automatic tip for a party of 7! We had to ask another server for water and drink refills after waiting 30 min wi out him checking on us. No one came to bus the used plates until we were all done eating so they were stacked up. Gauchos were pleasant and served well but were far and few between leading us to having to make sure we took several pieces of meat at a time. While watching our waiter work the other tables, he was very attentive to those seated in the middle of the restaurant versus us who was seated at the far left corner. Been here 2 times before without any issues. Hope it was just and OFF night! Oh and when making the reservation it asks if we’re celebrating anything and I responded YES. My granddaughter was loaded with lei from her college graduation and the server didn’t ask or acknowledge it!!!

   I took my team out for lunch to celebrate the holidays. They had such a variety of meats that everybody had something they enjoyed.

   Dinner and service was good. What can be a concern is if you have a special request or actually just any question, you will not be called/contacted back. I left two voicemails and two emails via Open Table that were never answered. My question was that if at all possible, could my party of 8 have a table off to the side so we could have our company Christmas party. No answer and in the end we sat in the middle of everyone and right next to the buffet area where everyone had to walk by. . . .They do have a Private room but the minimum spend is $2,000. With just the 8 of us, we wouldn't hit that. Thus my attempts to contact them so as to at least sit along the edges and not in the middle.

   our waitress said it was the policy of the restaurant to add a mandatory 20% service charge for parties of 6 or over which she added to our tab. we had a party of 5 and one child of 1 yr. the manager said they had no such policy. this did not sit well with our party. restaurant was too loud. background music could have been toned down because there is a lot of crowd noise. food and service otherwise good.
