   Sunday buffet is $40. This includes extremely cold and bland food. Even though you serve yourself a guaranteed tip, state taxes and a fee to pay with a debit card is included. I used to enjoy eating here but the quality and service has gone down. I will not be returning.

   They are missing out on a good opportunity. Several friends have been there and say they will not go back. We tried it anyway and won’t go back. Furnishing are old and worn. No greeting when you walk in. A employee standing there avoiding eye contact. Buffet was late, folks standing around asking for serving utensils, electrical cord across the floor, just don’t have their act together. It’s unfortunate.

   There were no other diners there except one couple, and we went towards the end of happy hour. However despite it not being remotely busy, it took forever for our drinks to arrive and 1 was incorrect. Then even longer for the appetizers. We had ended up ordering one more dish to try and it took sooo long we ended up wanting to cancel the order — wish we had, because it didn’t taste good! In the end, we had to ask to take the incorrect drink and the last appetizer (spinach & anr dip) off the ticket because we barely tasted either item. Oh and the worst part was they added gratuity to the check — I’ve never been to any place where gratuity was automatically added for a party of TWO people!!

   My wife and I made reservations for The Roof for our date night. We arrive 30 minutes early for our 7:00pm reservation to a locked door and no one in sight. We waited 30 minutes and was about to leave when an employee showed up and unlocked the door. It seems she didn’t know what was happening and why the door was locked. My wife and I decided to stay and be seated for dinner. We and another couple were the only customers in the restaurant. Service was very slow, and we were not impressed. The other couple departed before being served. My wife decided to give them a chance and stayed. Don’t know what the issues were, but there are issues. This place could be a great place if the issues are resolved. Henry C.

   Man that shrimp and grits was so good, I wanted to lick the bowl. The sauce was heaven and just downright delicious! Perfect for date night or just feeling fancy. Service was impeccable. I was really impressed. I’ll definitely be back when the weather’s nicer to really take in that amazing view of the lake. There was a party going on in the lounge area….. I may haven found my birthday party spot. This place is a whole vibe!
