It was absolutely delicious and we had an enjoyable experience. We were disappointed to be seated in the back, but the hostess was able to find another table, which was VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! Looking forward to dining here again !

Very disorganized , A/C was blasting-too too cold for this time of year and we were seated next to the bar and the wait staff hanging out and using foul language. To top it off our bill for two people $231.00!!!

When We were seated, waited 5-10 min for a server to come say hello and get us drinks. Then waited 15-20 min in line at the buffet! They served us small amounts and we weren’t going to wait in that line again! I would have liked to go up again, but didn’t because of the line. So the price for what we ate was not worth it unfortunately.

The shrimp cocktail was perfect - crisp and sweet! The grilled octopus and smoked mussels were nicely prepared. Good variety of cheeses with the grilled marinated vegetables. Traditional eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes were available but the shrimp and cheesy grits were absolutely delicious! The ham, turkey and prime rib carvings were juicy and tender. Best brunch buffet to date at Summer Place!
