    Not worth time or money. You are charged what they call a service fee which when asked I was told it was a buffet fee. The buffet was not really a buffet. You had beef, crispy flounder that was not crispy, wild rice that was hard, broccoli and cauliflower that had no taste, cajun shrimp that probably was cooked in oven and corn nuggets in same warmer as shrimp. Even the salad was horrible. Dessert was also not tasty. This was a horrible experience and a huge waste of money.

    The menu is limited, but the selection is very good, as is the presentation and the quality of the food. Beer and wine only, but a good selections of both. We requested a sauvignon from New Zealand, and a qualtiy labeled wine was provided. My husband had the shrimp and grits. He said it was delicious. It was a bit soupy and hard to eat because the cheese was stringy, so he was doing his best to eat it with grace. Still, good. I had the salmon on a bed of wild rice with a side of brussels sprouts. It was absolutely delicous. All were cooked to perfection. The restaurant was fairly empty. We were told that a movie was being filmed there, so it may have been that the rooms were full, but the individuals were engaged in movie-making and didn't have time to stop for dinner. Overall, it was a relaxing restaurant with a lovely view. We were seated promptly. The best part of our evening was being served by Virgil. He was highly professional while being friendly. We enjoyed his company, which made the evening a special one.

    The buffet is terrible. The eggs look and taste as if they came from powder. Sausage is rubbery. Salmon tasted old and extremely fishy. Coffee tasted like dirt. Attendants hovering against a wall and would yank plate from table as though it was rush hour and wanted to get rid of you. 6 adults cost $216 and no one ate a full plate. 20% gratuity added on for terrible service. Floor so sticky shoes were sticking!

    $25/adult is rather steep for a breakfast buffet. The food was fine, nothing spectacular. The service was attentive in the morning. We eat here for lunch and dinner as well and prices were ala carte. Service was slower at dinner but still fair. Options for food were limited. Garden salad was yummy as was the chili and the chicken Alfredo. Kids enjoyed the chicken tenders and the cheeseburger. We were not a fan of the chicken and cheese quesadillas.

    My dissatisfaction was that the menu on line was not what they really served. Was looking forward to a nice ribeye dinner. The closest thing on the actual menu was a burger or chicken fingers. I make decisions normally based on the online menu. This is the first time I have ever had a misrepresentation on line.
