"Restaurant only offers a buffet on Sundays. When I arrived the food was picked over and some of it was cold. I was very disappointed in the quality and choice of food. The cost of the buffet was @ $25.00 pp and was definitely not worth it. Buffet staff talked among themselves and it was difficult to find a server to get coffee. I would not visit this restaurant, especially on Sunday, again."

"First, my open table reservation wasn't there so I didn't have the desired time. I called when I was on my way and then was told that I could still get the time I asked. When I arrived it was 30 minutes later so we sat in the bar for some time. After we got to our table our waitress had us waiting way too long for little things such as water and bread. We had the filet mignon and from my knowledge an expensive piece of meat like that isn't and 1/8" thick. Felt like I was eating cheap steak. After it was done the service was so bad they didn't charge us for our meal."
