    I wanted to love this but …. Honestly the buffet was really mediocre. Our reservation was at 7:00 pm and the buffet was very tired and picked over. The poor wait staff looked exhausted. They kept running out of desserts …. The salads were really paltry. The bathroom lines were ridiculously long. Glad we did it but cannot recommend for the very expensive price.

    This will be my last Christmas dinner at The Mission Inn. Actually, it will be my last time there, period. We were never informed that the only thing available was a buffet until after our arrival, which left us with no other alternative plan for dinner. The food was pricey ($80 for adults and $40 for kids, plus a 20% added gratuity) considering the poor quality (picture Swansons chicken fingers and Celeste pizza). To top the disappointing evening off, there was no Santa to be found in the lobby the entire night. This place has progressively gone down for years, and has been subpar for a good 15 years, but it's now officially a terrible tourist trap.

    Our experience at the Mission Inn restaurant last night was fantastic!! My husband and I took our kids, moms & siblings for dinner and it was perfect!!! It was a huge relief because we took 16 of our friends to Las Campanas at the beginning of December and the experience was a HUGE disappointment.

    First time we have been here, and I’m disappointed. They need many more waitstaff especially during the holidays. The bussers were running their tails off. Food was ok, decor was amazing. Our wait person finally came to our table after we had been seated for 20-25 minutes. We ordered immediately and then waited another 25-30 minutes for the food. She came 3 times: to take our order, refill drinks, and bring our check. Probably won’t return.

    For the amount paid, the food was not up to the standard it should be. This is NOT the place it used to be.

    Beautiful as always. We always do the Christmas brunch. Only wish there were a few more dessert options, but everything else was wonderful and the service was outstanding!

    Mission inn had a buffet that night $75/person. Seafood, prime rib was delicious. Other dishes were adequate not not special. Desserts were ok but not spectacular. Ambiance was very Christmas. Parking was very difficult. Lucky to find a spot relatively nearby. It was surrounded by a local Christmas fair that was extremely crowded. It was an experience. We would probably not do it again.

    Ambience, Service great. Line ups to get near the Mission Inn difficult. Selection at Christmas Buffett very limited. One vegetable, one starch, small salad bar Lots for kids chicken strips fries pizza. No items were labeled. What I thought was gravy beside the small carving station turned out to be mustard sauce all over my meat and potatoes. Yuck Couldn’t tell what any of the four desserts were no labels
