    Gosh it was so nice. First of all valet was extremely convenient. Right up front for 10$. Great deal. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant were both beautiful and dare I say extravagant? It was an Easter buffet. We sat in their beautiful patio w my family and service dog. For 68$/person the food was plentiful and all tasted fresh using quality ingredients . Definitely no cutting corners with cheap filler food you expect at a buffet. Loved the salmon, prime rib, oysters, chilaquiles, chicken enchiladas carnitas shrimp and shrimp ceviche. There was so much more but I was stuffed ( all American breakfast items including an omelet making bar). The dessert table had many items to choose from but at that point I stuck with their freshly cut fruit with mint leaves. Perfect refreshing ending to a very nice meal. The service was a 10. Everyone was so pleasant and nice.
