   We have eaten here several times but were very dissatisfied with the menu choices thus time. No shrimp & grits and $20 for a small hamburger with fries - very disappointing

   I do not frequently respond to requests sent via email to write reviews; however, in this case, I felt that I needed to, perhaps, so the establishment could improve. I had reservations made in advance for 3:00 P.M. I got seated at 3:40 P.M. I was told the only seats available were outside; it was a nice enough afternoon, so that was fine. There were, however, many open spots inside. I went there for the Thanksgiving buffet/ brunch. The hostess sat us and explained nothing; we had no silverware, no one asked us about drinks. When she walked by again, I asked if the silverware and drinks were self-serve and where they were located. The hostess found our waitress and said she had eventually took our drink order. When we finally went inside, the gravy was out, the stuffing was out, the chicken was out, tiny prime rib left. There was plenty of crab, yet there were no crab claw crackers available for it, I was told they were all dirty. I stood before the buffet for some time, waiting for everything to be refilled. The only item refilled was the gravey eventually the prime rib as well. While many parties were still eating, they started putting all the food away. I think now that this is why we could not be seated inside, as they knew when they would be breaking down the buffet, yet told none of us and did not even consider how late they had sat everyone. We had yet to finish the first plate of food and thought they would refill the other stations. Lastly, the bill had a “large party gratuity” for my son and me. When I questioned it, no one explained why; I didn’t bother trying to figure it out; however, I probably would have tipped more than the large party gratuity that was added on. It was one of the most disappointing expensive meals I have ever had.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I sincerely apologize that your Thanksgiving brunch did not meet your expectations. We value feedback like yours, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve and better serve our guests. I deeply regret the delay in seating, especially given that your reservation was made in advance. Regarding your experience at the buffet, I am truly sorry for the delays in food replenishment and the lack of essential items. The issue with food being put away while many guests were still dining is particularly disappointing. Proper communication and timing are crucial, and we failed to respect the time and enjoyment of our later-seated guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback.

   We attended the Thanksgiving brunch. The food was good but the event was disorganized and not what we expected based on previous experiences at the hotel restaurant. Service was also lacking. If considering location for holiday brunch service I’d suggest getting an early seating to potentially avoid some of the issues we encountered.

   Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent brunch experience. We truly regret that your visit didn’t meet expectations and are committed to addressing the concerns you’ve raised. We understand the frustration caused by unclear brunch service hours, seating delays, and issues with buffet maintenance and communication. It’s disappointing to hear that the later seating impacted the quality and availability of the buffet. We’ll be reviewing our service flow, buffet replenishment processes, and staffing levels to improve consistency for all guests, regardless of seating time. We sincerely apologize for the shortcomings and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn and grow.

   The reservation process was poor. Party of 3 had to wait for an hour to be seated at a buffet. Also, we were automatically charged a 23% gratuity for a "large party." Food was adequate, but servers on the food line acted like they did not want to be there, which they probably didn't since it was Thanksgiving. I did not really want to be there either and won't be again.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your Thanksgiving visit. Allow me to address your concerns.For holiday events, there is an automatic service charge and gratuity due to the unique nature of these occasions, which involves additional staffing and preparation. However, I regret that this wasn’t communicated clearly during the reservation process. We’ll review this process to ensure better transparency moving forward. Regarding the wait time, we aim to seat all guests promptly, especially with reservations, and I’m sorry we fell short in your case. This is not the standard we strive for, and we’ll work to improve our efficiency during high-demand events. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve.
