   We arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early, and we got seated right away. The prime rib was nice and soft. Portion was huge. Made to order Poke Station was awesome. Crab legs were perfectly seasoned. Sashimi was delicious .. shrimp was huge. I didn't try the chowder . Bake goodies were enough for me, and the ice cream station had many choices. Our waiter was on time . Always keeping our glass full. Plates were cleared promptly . Everything was perfect . I gave a 4 star for the fish and chicken dish. I'd rather have a dish that was made with totally different taste instead. And for the chicken dish , maybe bbq chicken or chicken katsu. Other than that . The restaurant was clean. Dishes were full service was awsome . We'll be back for another special day for my family.

   The view was amazing. We were there for the crab and prime rib buffet. Many choices and different types of food. The prime rib was perfect, however, the crab wasn’t the best .

   The price of the buffet was miss leading. There was a sign at the hostess counter w the pricing and it was $30 more than advertised. Presentation of the food was horrible. Raw fish was warm. Very unsanitary buffet. Everything had a potential contamination hazard. They actually changed out the ice cream scooper water after they overheard me tell my daughter it was a health code violation. We probably won’t ever eat there again.

   Excellent buffet as always. Seems pricy, but better value than upscale restaurants like Jackie Rey’s, and a much better location.

    The Sunday brunch was absolutely not worth it. Not a big selection and only good things were brisket, fresh omelette and pastry’s.
