   Great buffet with excellent seafood. Wish they had more breakfast items but everything is delicious.

   have been to this Sunday brunch multiple times in the past. Always great food and never shortage any of the items. This is the first time that one of their best item ran out before closing. The prime rib has always been great especially for a buffet. However, on this visit, the prime rib ran out before 1 pm. Our reservation was 12:30pb for 7 people. Most of us didn't get any prime rib. Instead the restaurant brought out what they called grilled rib eye that was paper thin and claimed it was the same as prime rib. The meat may be the same, but prime rib is not grilled but roasted as a whole roast and sliced to order. As mentioned, been to this sunday brunch multiple times in the past and prime rib never ran out. I think the restaurant is trying to cut cost.

   Unfortunately, not worth $60/person. The eggs and bacon station didn't have heat so food was cold. Great service but not worth the price. I did se e that they were very much into refilling everyone's mimosas. So guess worth it if you drink that but we didn't and had to request coffee refills a couple of times.

   I love coming here with my husband & our friends to enjoy the seafood brunch! My husband & I don't brunch often, so it seems a bit pricey to us, but we also don't drink. A few of our friends do drink & they offer bottomless mimosas, so I can see that making up for it being a bit pricey. We will be back!

   Disappointed today. Expected Dungeness Crab but they used snow crabs today. The prime rib which is usually well prepared was served "blue". Overall quality of food was lower and the food was not quickly refreshed.

   There was only a set menu for the New Year’s Eve dinner. The salad did not match the salad elaborately described on the menu and looked like a small side salad from a fast food place with some romaine lettuce and a few halved baby tomatoes. That was not the butter lettuce wedge promised on the menu and special ingredients and dressing were missing. The main course arrived with a barely warm full-size sliced potato. It was a miserable looking entree with said potato, a piece of meat, and like two strands of bean. The dessert we chose was chocolate mousse. The texture was far from mousse-y; it was crunchy and tasteless like some frozen brown something not yet thawed. The whole meal was a poorly executed mass-produced concoction. The people at the next table sent their three pieces of filet mignon back to be re-done. The staff tried but the restaurant was under-staffed. Although mass produced, the items took a long time to arrive. It was not a nice looking restaurant.

    The service was bad on New Years Eve for dinner , they ran out of food! And brought us ice cold bread, when we asked if they could warm it up, we never saw the bread again. It was a horrible experience overall. Our bill for 2 people that day was 247.00 for a horrible experience and food they ran out of , and to top it off they automatically add the tip of 34.00 for services they didn't give . Worst ever.
