    Fantastic Thanksgiving Feast (except for green beans). Ham and turkey both delicious, as well as the mash potatoes & gravy and dressing.

    Thanksgiving Dinner was terrible. Over priced meal came to the table 5 minutes after ordering. Cold - pre-plated meal. Would not go back.

    Been eating T’giving dinner here for almost 20 years. Good food although we all agreed quality has fallen a bit over last 3 years. Food served quickly as they essentially have a buffet set up for kitchen staff to prepare. Turkey a bit dry and gravy was cold. Service was excellent.

    Great variety on menu. The Poke bowls were wonderful. My hamburger was delicious and cooked exactly as I ordered it. The wait staff was attentive, informative and friendly. We’ve eaten there before and it is always consistently excellent. It’s a bit dark and we did need to use our phone “flashlights”. All in all, a very nice restaurant

    Had some family visiting from out of town - dinner went well. Everyone was happy with their food choices, and most of us brought home boxes. Seems like they've slimmed down the menu since the last time we were there (over a year ago), but there were still enough choices.

    We really enjoyed our meal tonight. The food and service were excellent. Only issue we had was the music was loud and it did make hearing each other a little hard. But everything else was perfect. We haven't been here in years and tonight had us wondering why not. We will be back.

    Our server Sheldon was very friendly and asked us several times if our meal was ok and if we needed anything. The manager came along to see if all was ok. The food is always good here.
