There were not many people so I guess they couldn't lay out the Presidential selections. We were happy with the buffet and glad to find a place open on Christmas. Service was good for a reduced staff. The wine list was good. It was a bit pricey for what we got, buffet food, turkey, ham and overcooked steak, we like rare and the nearest thing to that was (not even pink in the middle). Turkey was dry and so was the ham. Seemed like everything was prepared the day before and set up with the minimal staff. If they tried a little harder it could have been second class.

I should have researched more then just taking the reservation as this was not the type of restaurant we intended to go to.

The street tacos were dry and pretty much lifeless! Defiantly would not order them again. My BLT sandwich cam with fry's that were very good, but the sandwich, even though the bread was perfectly toasted, was dry and lifeless as well. Glad I ordered the milk to wash it down with! The bar was clean and the drinks that were being prepared for others looked good. So I would recommend this place for drinks and not the food...

They never seem to notice all the crispy bacon in the buffet line gets eaten first. CHEFS! May I have your attention, please!? We non chef people like crispy bacon! Please! Oh, and, for all you health conscious people, crispy bacon actually has less fat in it.

There’s plenty of space, and the bartender is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever encountered. I ordered a glass of wine and a charcuterie board while waiting for my husband, and the board arrived quickly and tasted amazing.
