The Thanksgiving buffet was perfect. A great selection of appetizers and the entrée selections met dietary needs. Turkey, prime rib, salmon, as well as a vegetarian mushroom dish and vegan mushroom dish. The chocolate flour less cake with ganache was spectacular. The only very minor issue was the timing of our entrée. Two arrived before we were done with our appetizers. In the servers' defense, it probably was hard to time considering that diner was finished with his appetizers. Overall, I highly recommend this for a memorable experience.
