This was a buffet and unfortunately it’s very difficult to keep food really warm without overcooking it. The food was not overcooked, but it wasn’t as warm as I like it. Maybe coming earlier might have been better I was quite impressed by the quality of the swordfish (and by the fact that it was not at all dry) by and the brussels sprouts, and my son loved the steak and stuffing I felt it was a little too expensive even though there was some wide variety of selections.

I had the chicken Parmesan and the portion was excellent. Our waiter Emiliano could not have been any more helpful and gracious. I was recommended this restaurant all the way from Florida, we were not disappointed. 👌🏽
