We left after 40 minutes, not having a Waiter even recognize we were seated and ready for Drinks and Dinner.

Booked a reservation for a Family Brunch. We arrived the find the restaurant was closed despite what was stated on website and open table. Had to scramble to find an alternative on a busy holiday weekend. Clearly a sign of a restaurant that doesn’t have their act together.

Due to my wife's work schedule we had a late reservation. When we got there the manager told us they were closed. I mentioned that they shouldn't have taken a reservation if they were closed and he claimed there were no reservations, then he looked at the comp screen and said my name. We were seated and served, but since they already shut down the fryer we couldn't order anything deep fried, no big deal to me, but one thing we wanted that was on the menu was not in stock that being escargot. Everything we ordered was very good and our waiter was on point, he only appeared when he thought we may need something and he was able to anticipate when that may be without being overbearing.

Sadly, the only thing we enjoyed was the amazing Millionaire Martini. We had a brand new waiter who was obviously NOT ready to be on his own. He couldn't tell us what went with our entree (i.e. a salad and 1 side... 2 sides... etc) or if they even had a dessert menu (he finally handed me a tiny slip of paper that was clearly meant to be notes for the servers on specials, etc as he dashed away). Everything took forever and it ended up being almost a 2 hour dinner (with a 2 year old!!). Our waiter was super nice and he tried so hard. We didn't blame him at all - it was 100% the restaurants responsibility to train the basics and they failed him and those he served. Trial by fire isn't always the best avenue. We tipped him well (again not his fault), but we will not return as customers. Additionally, the steaks we had were just "okay"... the twice baked potatoes were not very good at all and the chocolate torte I ended up getting for dessert was very disappointing. The bill was over $115 (2 adults and a toddler) and we left wishing we had never tried this restaurant. The Millionaire Martini is the only redeeming reference for me personally. Not a good first experience... but it will be the last.

Prime rib was horribly overcooked. We tried pieces from 2 different roasts. It was the main reason we thought paying their brunch buffet price was ok.

This place was terrible! The service was not great and the food was awful. The prime rib was way over cooked and could not be cut through or chewed. When we asked if could get the prime rib rare or medium rare the man cutting it said no. The ‘steamed’ mussels were cold. Poached eggs were over cooked and not runny in the slightest. The ‘dessert’ area consisted of 1 kind of donut, 1 kind of muffin and a croissant. It was really the worst buffet I have ever been to. We will never go back.
