    There was NO one in the restaurant and all they had to offer was a buffet for $45 per person. It was terrible! No one ever brought us drinks or picked up plates.

    Hi Ellen, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you did not enjoy your experience. Your group was our last reservation, so all other tables were gone and being cleared at your reservation time. Your group left very quickly after being seated due to not being interested in the buffet, so I would love some additional clarification on the plates that were not picked up so that we can improve in this area. We do have signage on our website and outside of the restaurant stating that we have a buffet brunch, is there any other area that we should be placing signage for the future to eliminate confusion?

    We went to The Bugler as part of my birthday celebration trip. From the moment we walked in until we left the service and attention were amazing! The host, server, and chef all acknowledged my birthday. They all took the time to make me feel special, including bringing out special appetizers to the table and a beautifully delicious dessert. The meals were delicious as well, perfectly cooked and detailed presentation. We always book The Bugler when we are in the area, it Never disappoints.
