Honestly at first the food was good but then today I got a hair in my food and they still charged me for it, why should I pay for something that had hair in it? Other than that the food was decent but I’d pay attention to how it comes out, ya might get a hair or

This hotel restaurant does not exist Open table allowed me to make a reservation even had several confirmations When we got to hotel it was a Jonny rockets That was a far cry from what we thought we were going to
Thanksgiving dinner was amazing! We loved everything we ate and all the staff was approachable and provided great service. The buffet included a soft drink or tea, which is great value!
I made a reservation for 12 for Thanksgiving Dinner and in the notes I added that we need room for a stroller at the table. When we arrived at the hotel there was a long line to get into the restaurant. We went to the front and informed them of our reservation however either someone didn't pay attention to the reservation system or staff didn't communicate because they were not prepared to seat a party of 12. We were told by the manager that another staff member sat a group at the table that was supposed to be for us but they would make something work. It took a minute but they got it together and reconfigured the tables to comfortably accommodate our party. Aside from the initial reservation snafu, everything else was good. The menu included all of the traditional Thanksgiving fixins... turkey (which was cooked to perfection), ham, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, roasted veggies etc. along with some non-tradition options such as salmon, shrimp cocktail, and tomato, mozzarella and basil. Overall it was quite a nice spread with something for everyone. The service was wonderful! Our waiter was very attentive often refilling our drinks before we even noticed and just overall pleasant. The rest of the staff, including the manager also checked on us at comfortable intervals that were appreciative and not annoying and intrusive. Lastly, the price was right. The cost was approx. $30/pp for adults and for the amount and selection of food and on Thanksgiving Day I found the price reasonable. Overall, based on my experience I would recommend this restaurant to a friend but would encourage them to make a reservation and to speak up immediately if something is not right with that reservation.
Ordered classic burger. Fries were good. Service was good. Order medium rare burger however, the was "just raw" if i had my dog's digestive enzyme i wouldnt get sick eating this. The burger was fixed afterwards. They were very kind but this cook needs to rethink his style.
Place to be
Breakfast every morning at the buffet. You could also have a la carte. Ate dinner two nights, scampi one night and a burger the other both were very nice
Waiters are friendly. Food comes out a little slow. Kids eat free!
Beautiful scenery
A place to escape the rough and tumble of the day with food to die for.

Nonexistent greeting. I had to ask 3 times for them to check me in on opentable. Since the restaurant was empty (we were the only table), the server insisted that no check in was necessary. The food was just ok. I ordered iced tea. The server brought sugar with it but no spoon or straw. When I asked for a straw, she said they were out.
Friendly staff, fast service. Delicious Eggs Benedict !
This Easter buffet was amazing, I could not find a better buffet at the price. Unlimited prime rib and mimosas for about 28 a person is the definition of value. The food was fresh and great tasting, and they kept everything filled to the brim. Service as usual was stellar. I highly recommend this place!
Easter buffet=incredible! More food than I could imagine, drinking flowing and an amazing vibe. Every who worked there seemed to be on the top of their game, it was great! Did I mention the food? Because that was the best part, the buffet was a never ending flavorfest!
I have been here several times and the service and food was up to par as usual. Everything arrived at a timely manner and the staff was as friendly as I remember them to be. Still highly recommend this restaurant, I'll be returning for brunch on the 21st!
