   The hostess staff appears to be overstaffed and the wait staff clearly understaffed. The server did her best ands was very sweet. The food took forever and somehow managed to be cold when it was served. One chicken dish was dry and overcooked, the other chicken dish was just cold and cheese unmelted. The chicken sandwich was served with their homemade kettle chips which tasted of old oil and nothing else. Lack of salt or any discernible seasoning. They have really fallen in quality and I should have realized that when their parking lot was empty at 6:00 on a Friday night. Absolutely do not recommend.

   The food was not good. We had the Easter brunch buffet. The variety was terrible. The food quality was very poor. I will not be back. It was absolutely not worth the money. We like the restaurant but the Easter buffet was terrible.

   Great buffet as always. Disappointed that asking for Marco and a table we weee set out in the patio area at a 6top for 2 of us and we saw Marco serving in the other patio area!

   We had 10 people and one high chair and we were very crowded at a table for 8. Buffet was good but could have a better selection of desserts. We had to stack empty plates because they weren’t cleared often. On Easter when so busy with large family groups the music was too loud!

   The one appetizer and two entrees for $25 or $35 is a great deal these days. We will definitely come back just to try other menu items. We had the $35 option and had the blistered Brussel sprouts as our appetizer. They were not good. Sauce was way too vinegar-y. I had the asian salad but was so big it would be for 3 or more meals. My fiancé had the breaded chicken which she enjoyed. We were there on a Saturday night at 7:30 and it was pretty dead in there. We'll give it another try for sure, but it's not like this was an especially memorable meal.

   The waiter saw that we brought a cake to celebrate a birthday and even saw me lighting the candles. After all the candles were lit, he proceeded to tell me that he would be charging me $10 for bringing outside food. I proceeded to tell him I was not aware and that we would not serve the cake as I did not agree with the $10 charge. He should have advised us before the candles were lit. Also the Mediterranean Chicken was horrible. They put on an ice cold tomato relish that made the asparagus ice cold (the waiter said that was why) as well as the chicken. He said that he tells the restaurant this regularly and they refuse to do anything. He then got me extra asparagus that was hot and then tried to charge me an extra $4 for it. The fish and chips that were had were also way over cooked. The spinach artichoke dip we had to pour out the grease that it was swimming in and definitely is not a dip. Its a hunk of cheese that you have to cut to put on your chips/the 2 triangle pieces of pita bread that they give you.

    We had a great variety of food. Some of the prime rib was not as tender as I would have liked. The fruit was delicious. Love your potatoes. I was a little disappointed the the carmel rolls were not brought to the table so we could take them home, but I understand, it is a buffet. I was a little disappointed that our waiter never offered us more coffee.
