    Sadly having a late reservation was not a benefit, some of the food was cold, others tasted like it had been there too long and they ran out of some deserts. We were seated right at an entrance to the dining room, assigned seating I assume, We ordered a glass of wine and didn't realize the tip (noted service charge) was included, we still tipped our server additional as it was not her fault, she was amazing. Coffee was very weak and not overly hot. Granted t was Christmas Eve and busy, but when you offer a buffet you should prepare for each guest to be the first guest. Their signature Bread Pudding was the bomb, the cabernet delicious.

    Buffet had few selections, by 7pm, the offerings looked stale, the restaurant was not decorated for Christmas. The setting looked like a diner instead of a dining room. The best part was the bread pudding.

    “Illumination Dinner” with NO viewable fireworks! ???? Go somewhere else. $200 for 2.5 ppl to dine on buffet, consisting of 1 soup, 3 salads & 4ish entrees and ONE side dish. Nothing conducive for kids. Mandatory $30 tip to get 2.5 drinks filled twice. PATHETIC!

    Grand Illumination buffet left a lot to be desired. Service was wonderful and we had a lovely table, but food was not what I was expecting. Main course options were limited and did not have basics like mashed potatoes or a vegetable. Everything looked grey. Soup and salads were yummy and dessert was small bites of pies/cakes.
