        I would like to start with a compliment to Yellow Door for Being open on Christmas Day!! The free parking and the the attentive staff. Our reservation was 7pm, we were seated quickly and our drinks arrived promptly. However when we went to the buffet it was half empty, no salad, charcuterie was empty, no soup, no potato, no stuffing. Had to point this out to a server walking by. Also the fish item was cold and tasted not fresh. The dessert buffet was excellent! Lots of choices. So in conclusion I would suggest more attention to buffet maintenance.

        The Christmas buffet was a bust. From the soup to the veggies everything was cold. The roasted veggies (carrots and what could have been squash) were fried to death but cold, the turkey was dry and the seafood station was removed 10 minutes after we arrived at 6:15 never to return. The only good thing was the dessert.

        Overall great and food was amazing, however it was a brunch buffet and I was on my second plate before being offered water or coffee, felt invisible at first but then service picked up.

        We ordered Christmas dinner for 5 people from Yellow Door. Pick up was seamless, portions were generous and the food was absolutely delicious. The reheating instructions were flawlessly outlined and all courses turned out perfectly. We doubt we’ll make Christmas dinner again. Compliments to the chef(s)! Thank you for ensuring a stressless Christmas Day!

        Our takeout Xmas dinner was wonderful. Quantities were nice and the instructions given to reheat our food made it like it had just been prepared.
