Overall experience was good. We were seated quickly & greeted quickly. The music selections—hip hip & r&b—were on point & the music wasn’t so loud you couldn’t hear yourself think. My food was yummy (I had the seafood omelet), but friend’s food seemed as if it could have been seasoned better & perhaps a bit warmer. The hostess (Zeta) did an excellent job of “managing 1st impressions” & our server was friendly & relatively attentive, for the most part.

Breakfast with the Grinch was fun for the entire family. The buffet was plentiful, nice options, consistently being refilled and cleaned by staff. Waitress was friendly and attentive. My kids truly enjoyed their time which was the goal.

Ambiance was good and our waitress was also very good. However the food didn't meet expectations. The warm crab dip was very good. However I ordered a NY Strip steak and it was par for a steak. Tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all and the broccoli has a burnt taste to it.
