"The Manor is a perfect place for special occasions like mothers day. The selections from the buffet are extensive, well prepared, and a more tasty than your ordinary buffet. The dishes are well prepared and the staff makes sure that they are fresh and replenished constantly throughout the evening. For men a jacket is required and dress is business casual; considering the care and attention taken to the food one does not mind the extra fuss in dressing up a little to experience The Manor. If your looking for a wide variety of selections which are well prepared then this is your place. I would recommend it without hesitation."

"Unfortunately the experience wasn't as good as it usually is for the buffet. We think it was because it was right before mother's day and they prepared some of the food ahead of time to accommodate the crowds which meant that it wasn't up to their normal standards. the fried shrimp was over breaded and hard versus the perfect ones the last time we eat there. The first bunch of lobsters were a bit dry (prepared ahead of time) but the rest were much better. We will still keep coming however for this buffet in the hopes that it is just because of the holiday."

"The staff could not be more accommodating, our party included a vegetarian. The chef took time to walk her around the table and show all the vegetarian offerings and then proceeded to bring trays of stuffed grape leaves ,hummus and pita. Everyone in the party was extremely happy...The Manor is always the first choice to impress visiting guest or for a special occasion.. ything that she could eat."

"I was very disappointed in our dinner at The Manor on Saturday, 4/27. The fine dining Buffet was not fine dining. The waitstaff was stretched thin and the food was mediocre. There was not a thing I ate and thought "Oh my gosh, this is so good!". Even the lobsters were ordinary. The ambiance was reminiscent of an Embassy Suites Breakfast Buffet. The absolute worst part was the noise from other diners but especially from the adjoining wedding. Their band was so loud it was difficult to talk. The resounding thump thump beat of the music was annoying at best.
When I was younger, we went to The Manor for special occasions. It was a treat that was anticipated and enjoyed. I anticipated my dinner but I did not enjoy."

"Lovely atmosphere and excellent selection of food. Enjoyed the buffet which gives you an opportunity to sample everything rather than making a single dinner selection and hoping it was the best choice. Only suggestion would be to label all dishes, some were clearly labeled and others were left for you to guess. Wine list was extensive and surprisingly reasonable. Service was attentive. Recommend going for special occasions."

"The Manor is the best buffet you will ever go to combined with top notch service and ambiance. I am looking forward to trying the manors sit down restaurant. The only thing that bothered me was that they added an 18% tip to our bill automatically. I was going to tip 20% but when they added it themselves for a party of 4 I just left the 18%. I know many people are cheap and don't tip enough , but a tip is supposed to be something you decide upon based on the service provided."

"great buffet, unbeatable food, friendly waiters but the greeters at the podium live up to their reputation as nasty and condescending. The last thing I appreciate hearing after a 70 mile drive and turning my car over to the valet is "you're early, come back in 40 minutes." Perhaps a more friendly "please feel free visit the bar while we try to get you a table" would have felt better to hear. It probably wouldnt hurt to tune up their communications with customers skills a notch or three."

"Lobster Buffet with vast selection of seafood, meats, and desserts. All-you-can-eat lobster was nice, but they were overcooked in my opinion - understandable since they do sit in steamer on buffet line, but I don't remember them being THAT overdone during my previous visits. Also, I remember someone used to serve the lobster before - this time it was serve yourself, but this lead to one person hoarding all the lobster claws as soon as they came out and no one else getting any. All I was able to have was the tails (which, as I mentioned earlier were overcooked - some total mush and some tough to chew)."

The staff was pleasant, and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. There were several larger groups there(8-12)celebrating birthdays. Everyone seemed to be satisfied. Compared to other lobster buffets, The Manor provided the greates value for the dollar."

"The Lobster Buffet was my first time visit. The food was very good as well as the service. Wasn't too pleased that I had to separate the lobster tail from the body - thank goodness I had my husband with me. He did it for me. Theh only other issue is that I really didn't appreciate The Manor adding in the tip to our bill at 20%. After all, it was a buffet. Still a good time and good food. Thanks, Ray and Tammy"

"There are restaurants that have reputations and then there are restaurants that surpass their reputations. From the moment you enter the curved driveway and approach the Manor you know you are going to be in for a timeless treat. The Mansion is an oasis of class and elegance that makes a special occasion even more special. We went for the Lobster Buffet but will go back for fresh shucked oysters, the assorted meat Carving Station and the hidden gem... Salmon Wellington! Rarely does one get to an opportunity to enjoy such an unbelievable evening, The Manor makes it easy."

"We arrived about 30 minutes early, and they didn't keep us waiting, seated us right away. Our server was attentive and professional. The buffet was wonderfully varied, but the food was average, just slightly better quality than less exclusive restaurants.
The facility is absolutely amazing.

All in all I would rate our experience a 4. Considering that the food, which is really the driving force of any restaurant, was merely average, I can't see genuine value, especially when brunch for three ended up costing $200 with tax and gratuity. Which was pre determined by the restaurant. Not a very classy thing to do."
