    It was our first time here & we will be back!! It was for their off the menu brunch- So many choices- I got waffles and chicken which was huge & I should of split with my daughter- chicken was fried to perfection and waffles were awesome. My hubby had 4 of the sides as meal & plate clean in 15 min!! The scrambles were also large & good! The place is on a marina so the view was so nice & relaxing. Prices were very reasonable for amount of food. Our server was Jenn- cannot say enough good things- she was attentive, friendly and had great sense of humor. 5***** for sure on our experience!

    We were told that the salads were big enough for two. We ordered one salad and asked for extra plates and were told there was no sharing!(?) Service was on the slower side, i.e. it took 20 minutes for our desserts to arrive. The food was tasty and ample, and we look forward to a return visit.

    Great Easter Buffet! It would have been helpful if there was a listing or a map as the serving stations were spread out across several areas.
