   Dining appointment 745 buffet closed 815-8:30…disappointed . Rushed. Food quality very poor by that time . Lesson learned! I would never take the 7:45 appointment again…BTW, I live very near The Garland, and have dined and loved the food, service and ambiance x years 🤩I have no doubt that once I notify them about yesterday, they will handle it 🦃 Happy Holidays all💗

   Beautiful venue and really good food. The big miss was waiting and waiting for a new batch of mashed potatoes to come out. There were 8 of us waiting and sadly they never came. My food was cold by the time I decided to go back to my table. When I told our waiter Josh, he fetched some for our table of three. That was a big miss and that’s why I gave a less than five star on food. Luckily Josh and Kyle (who seated us) saved the day with their charm!

   Last minute find for Thanksgiving buffet. It was pricey but I was happy to find a place for my family we could all enjoy.

   I've enjoyed Thanksgiving and Christmas buffets at The Front Yard I've organized for my family over the past 4 years. This year, however, I've noticed a SIGNIFICANT downgrade in overall food quality and scope of menu. Fewer options are now relegated to smaller serving stations. In fact, there USED to be an enclosed area that included a larger variety of salads, vegetables, soups, fresh fruit and desserts. That area is now closed off (restricted to regular brunches). With menu choices reduced and, quite frankly, lack the level of culinary preparation, flavor and creativity I've enjoyed previously at a MUCH lower cost. Today's Holiday Buffets at The Front Yard come at INFLATIONARY prices with fewer choices (aka shrinkflation). I've NEVER spent $550 (incl. 4 cocktails, and 18% gratuity) for a table of 4 to eat B grade food. That experience left a hallow experience. While the service and ambience remains typically very good if not excellent, the noise levels were high and I didn't notice any type of seasonal or mood stimulating music that helped create an intimate mood. This was NOT good value for the time, money and experience. I truly hope the management will consider the constructive feedback in this response and will find ways to IMPROVE future holiday celebrations. Otherwise, I'll look elsewhere if not just put my time, effort and talents into creating something I could do better in my own home.

   Everything was perfect, the food quality, the presentation, the service, the ambiance and the food selection were spot on. All of the staff/team were happy and on point. We were very impressed. This was our 2nd time coming for Thanksgiving. Special thanks to the entire staff for making the experience extra special.
