Thanksgiving brunch at this location is something we do for many years. After Covid it was not so good but we wanted to give them another chance. I am glad we did! My request for a window view sit was granted and our party of 5 loved the food choices at the buffet. In addition to the turkey we had short ribs , fish and pasta, salads , side dishes and option to choose 2 soups. Clam chowder was one of the best I had (other guests agreed with me). There were many types of cheeses and shrimps but I did not try them. I had to save room for the largest desert table I saw. They were amazing and we loved them all. Overall food was very good!!1 All the servers were kind and It was a wonderful experience even if the weather was rainy and gray.

A nice place. Dress pretty much anyway you like, but more dressy is the norm. I booked a table for a first date kind of last minute. We were reserved at the bar. It worked out. The bartender seemed a little condescending, also got past that, as I with the most beautiful lady in the place. The food was good, bordering great. Although I felt the lobster ravioli was just a touch dry. Meatball app was fantastic, as is the grill toasted bread served with it. A really nice date, excellent food, no alchohol and under 100 bucks. Score!
