The food was great. However the service is mediocre. The server was a little overwhelmed by so many people and he can not keep up with it. May be hire extra help during the holiday meals to get better service.

When I booked online, there was no menu given. So when I took my mother for Thanksgiving, we were surprised by the food being served. I guess breakfast was for the people staying in the hotel? I did try the cheese grits which were bland. Being a vegetarian, I'd chosen Gigi's in the past because there was such a great selection of veggies for me to eat, but not this time. The salad bar was alright, nothing special. I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes or green bean casserole so that was out. and there were no mashed potatoes. For Thanksgiving. No mashed potatoes. Are you kidding me? Several neighboring tables were talking about that too. There was a choice of only giblet gravy. The stuffing was so salty, it was awful. The mac n cheese was okay but tasted like Velveeta cheese. Again, nothing special. The only saving grace was the desserts. I tried all three because well, I hadn't eaten much at that point. They were all tasty. My mother who does eat meat had more choices but wasn't bowled over by the food either. Then the bill came. Ugh! I paid $110 with tip. and didn't get much food to eat at all. I was laughing about going to Golden Corral, but we would have at least gotten our money's worth there. This was my mom's first Thanksgiving after losing her husband who used to do all the cooking so that made things even more disappointing.

Just ok. The waitress was phenomenal. Very attentive and explained things since it was our first time. Crab legs were cooked well. Only a few legs I had were overcooked. The majority were perfectly cooked. However, the melted butter tasted like popcorn butter. Overall not bad experience. Would I go again? Eh, not sure

Excellent service, some food had been sitting a little while but it was still well seasoned & VERY delicious. I’d suggest getting there at early as possible. Great selection, very reasonable price. Definitely going back soon as the doors open this Saturday.

This restaurant messaged me the night before Fathers Day to inform that they were closing due to an unexpected emergency. I’m not sure what happened, but it was very disappointing.

We were expecting a little more variety of food choice. The food that was there was good, just needed more of a variety for a buffet style meal.
