Great place, people, prices!

I enjoy the lunch buffet, which is consistently good! Always clean with table service for many things (not, of course, food from the buffet).

The drive thru safari needs attention. Empty food cups everywhere and the animals are getting them. The animals look like they aren't in too good of shape (not all, but quite a few).

The safari was so fun. Some animals come right up to the car to eat food and you can touch them.
The lunch buffet is fantastic. Great variety, delicious food and super friendly staff.

Will be back.

The positives: Excellent atmosphere and ambiance. Everyone was very courteous throughout our visit. Our waitress was attentive and gracious; a very nice young lady who seemed to show up at just the right times! The food tasted very good and was presented well. The only slight negative we had was that our steaks could have been flavored a little more. Overall a great experience and we will be back!

Honestly we were pretty disappointed. My husband had the leanest ribeye ever that we actually think was probably a sirloin. The baked potato was cut with the foil on it rather than unwrapping the potato and foil was inside of the potato; luckily I caught it before he ate foil. At a restaurant this expensive you would think that taking foil off a potato before serving it would be normal. The flavor on the steaks wasn't great like they used to be before the ownership changed. Our server was great and he took really good care of us.

After seeing all the reviews we decided to give this restaurant a try. We were very disappointed. We both had steaks, they were ok, nothing special. Crab cakes were mushy. Halfway through the meal my wife said “well we can cross this one off the list”. The service was terrible, after we sat for a while the hostess came back and took our drink order. Some time later the server took our meal order, we didn't see him again until he brought the check. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, this restaurant is lower than an Outback but charging like a Char. Sorry to say but yes it is crossed off the list, we will not be going back.

Food and service were excellent. I ordered a sirloin, I requested the steak to be medium and it was perfect. Highly recommend.

Food was pretty good. Lamb chops for app was perfect. Redfish was a little overcooked. Service was almost non existent. Sat in bar and was mostly ignored. Seemed to be short staffed.

Forgot the appetizer until the entrees were served; no presentation on the dinner plate; meat & potato just put on a plate; redfish not edible due to high salt; filets were excellent as was the sweet potato. They did not charge for the appetizer. Side salad decent. Martini seemed watered down & I question it was of gin requested.

For some reason two of our group never received their loaded potato due to “issues in kitchen.” Wrong steaks were placed in front of 3 of our guests requiring a lot of plate swapping. Three of the steaks were badly overcooked. Had to ask for crackers. Had to ask twice for tartar sauce. I had made the suggestion to go there for our three couples on New Year's Eve. I felt guilty about the experience since there were so many other good options. We are not complaining people and did not that night. But with the new ownership this doesn't bode well. Bottom line...they lost six regular customers.

We had a reservation and was told they were getting our table ready so we waiting ten minutes after our reservation time. We sat down and it took 15 minutes for our server to come to the table. We almost got up and left. The server was very apologetic about the wait, but it never got any better. The only positive thing to say was my drink from the bar was great, but they took around 15 minutes as well. But the bar was slammed. We ordered the charcuterie plate which was the cheap squares of cheddar and Jack cheese, some grapes, couple slices of sausage and way too many pickled okra. It was something I could get for 5 dollars at the grocery store. Hubby and I both order steak specials. Mine come out VERY overcooked. But at this time I was done. My husbands steak was cooked perfectly. We waited forever for our server to come back and finally I had to get up for someone to get him to come back to our table. I sent the steak back and did not ask for a replacement. We asked for the check and it again took around 15 minutes. We will definitely not go back to the steak house ever again.
