Food was mostly inedible, overcooked, old, unappealing, tasteless. Some of the worst food I've had in years. Incredibly overpriced for the quality. Waitress was kind.

Staff was very nice and polite. I was there for Valentines Day dinner, price for buffet was resonable. The atmosphere was very cozy. The buffet spread was nice, food very delicious, there were so many options of food to choose from, and a nice dessert spread. Restaurant very clean. I would highly recommend Hemisphere, can't wait to go back to eat, I would choose this restaurant every time.

Horrible. If I could give zeros I would. Food was horrible. Shrimp weren't cooked. Did not refill potato bar. Chocolate splattered everywhere from fountain and no care to clean it. It was all over fruit and skewers. Ice cream completely water. Dripping everywhere. Meat was completely full of fat about 1 inch thick and they were trying to serve it at the carving station. Just stay away. $70 per person! Horrible.

Food was Terrible. Shrimp was RAW. Meat was burnt. Really awful. I was embarrassed that I picked this place for our New Year's Eve dinner.

We thought that we booked New Years' Eve event. This was simple restaurant with simple buffet food. There was no music, no celebration nothing. They brought me ordered martini drink in glass for white wine. It should not be advertised as New Years Eve celebration. And immediately after I finished my drink the server brought us a check so we got a message we should live. We were there only for 30 min party of 5 people.

Had an awesome experience. I have a daughter who has celiac disease and the chefs came out and walked us around and let us know they had available that would accommodate, and they did absolutely everything I could've ever dreamed of to make sure our experience was pretty much perfect. Our server was also fantastic and I really couldn't say anything bad really loved it.

I had been hoping for a special dining experience with my family for Christmas Eve. This buffet was special, but not in a good way.
There is no free parking at Camelback Resort. Valet parking is $20, and paid self parking is a long walk from the lobby and costs $12. All other parking is designated for the resort's overnight guests.
The restaurant is in the lobby of the resort. It was clean. The staff was pleasant, except for the ones who ridiculed my mother-in-law for requesting mayonnaise.
The ambient music was essentially Mariah Carey "All I Want for Christmas" on a loop.
I'll go with positives first. The cannolis and the cream puffs were delicious. Non alcoholic beverages were unlimited. The hibachi grill offered fresh shrimp and/or shredded pork cooked with soy sauce, rice and egg. There was a plentitude of peel and eat jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce. That's about it.
The cost was $50/head before tax, and 18% gratuity was added to the bill, so the cost for four people was approximately $250.
The crab cakes were overcooked, under seasoned, and mostly bread. The "prime rib" at the carving station was actually steamed beef and was so tough it could barely be chewed. The clam chowder wasn't completely awful, but presented more as ham chowder. The salmon wasn't bad. There was a vegetable medley in which the asparagus was ok but the squash strips (I think that's what they were) were undercooked and inedible. There was a pasta bar that looked limited but inoffensive.
The "ice cream bar" was a freezer full of low quality ice cream bars. Next to that were sundae toppings, but no scoopable ice cream, bowls or spoons. There was panna cotta that was edible after removing the layer of apple cider gel that topped it. There were strawberries to skewer and run under the chocolate fountain, but the strawberries ran out and weren't replaced.
I made my reservation on Open Table, which generally has high quality restaurants. This presented as a high quality restaurant, but served low quality food.

The food was mediocre at best. When I booked the Christmas dinner I was expecting a better meal than just typical buffet foods. Definitely not worth the cost. Plus we were charged full price for a child under 10. Glad I caught the oversight before checking out. Very disappointed

Fell off in recent years, but may have improved. I have not gone since last year
The food tastes alright, but there is a need to upgrade the quality of options for the price.

8/5/24 We ate breakfast here this morning. Our server, Crystal and staff, was absolutely amazing- had my coffee before I even sat at my table- and the team kept it and our other drinks full. Buffet was REALLY good and the made to order omelette did not disappoint- I ate it all. As far as price, it’s not McDonald’s, but tastes much better! Thanks for a wonderful breakfast! ❤️

Came here twice for breakfast buffet with three kids. Good variety (pancakes, french toast), eggs, cereal, muffins, meats (sausage), smoked salmon. Delicious fruit both days (fresh, sweet). No issues with service as described in previous posts. Attentive wait staff. Would def come again on another visit to Camelback.

Garbage service along with the food. Almost an hour wait for an empty buffet is ridiculous. Food was nothing special
