    Salad bar made a great comeback from the bleak COVID years, when the bar had to be eliminated. The filet mignon was the best I’ve ever tasted. At medium well it was perfect for me. I usually order medium, but I really don’t like much pink. The real test was the lobster. In the past (we have been going every year since 1998) we have been given small lobster. They were so small that the waitress brought us a second tail. We have also had lobster taills that were mushy, in consistency, and obviously soaked in brine (dead before they were cooked) that they were too salty to eat. This year, however, the lobsters were big, juicy, and firm, but not tough or stringy. We had a perfect table! We could see the fireworks from Anaheim Stadium, Disneyland, and Knotts Berry Farm. We had a enjoyable, comfortable New Years Eve. A fantastic experience for $183.00 (including tip). Also, they have eliminated the parking valet, so that you don’t have to wait for your car in the freezing rain, or pay the valet $14.00.
