    Great date dinner with hubby before a holiday play! The Main is gorgeous right now! 🎄Very lively and a bit noisy but to be expected in the bar area. We enjoy the energy. Food was yummy, drinks perfect. 🍸 Our waiter was very good and super friendly but stretched a bit thin… no problem because other staff members jumped in so everything arrived hot. Impressive teamwork! 👍

    I wasn’t aware that the meal was a buffet. Online menus were for a regular dining experience. That said the food was ample and varied although steak was not on the menu. Enjoyed the salmon and pick your pasta.

    Business dinner. They were very accommodating to change our table for more elbow room. The food was really delicious. The only thing was that the timing of wine bottle and wine glasses was a little late for the pace of the dinner. We’ll definitely come back.
