   We were a little apprehensive after reading about this year’s Mother’s Day buffet. Apparently, the shift owners learned from that experience and have made great strides since then. Though we didn’t actually participate in the Mother’s Day buffet. The Thanksgiving day buffet served family style table side was a huge improvement and much preferred method of doing buffet. They really nailed it and this way of serving a buffet certainly enhanced our enjoyment. The huge Christmas tree tucked in the corner and the awesome ambient lighting hanging from the ceiling need a great setting . The turkey was moist as well as the ham. The sweet potato casserole was almost as if a pumpkin pie was popped in a blender with some toasted pecans to top. A darker consistency than expected, but honestly, it was a great slightly sweet complement to the turkey. Being a solid snob, I totally appreciated the quality greens that were served. Not one piece of lettuce on my plate was able to be discarded. Nice chopped cucumber, sliced red onion, and ripe cherry tomatoes.❣️ Oh, and there blood orange dressing wow don’t get me started. I wanted to drink it an absolutely wonderful choice as well as what appeared to be a not too thick homestyle probably homemade ranch dressing. Salad was included as well as bread and butter, which was a cinnamon butter with yeast rolls. We also had the green bean casserole which was tasty and the broccoli casserole that was somewhat mushy, but the flavor was decent. I didn’t try the stuffing, but it wasn’t anything remarkable either way Dessert choices were chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that seemed to be the overall winner. Although slightly dry, I poured a little coffee on top and had a wonderful chocolate coffee cake.🤩 The pumpkin pie was a typical store-bought with a slightly undercooked crust. Each of those selections came with a dab of whipped cream. Didn’t see the vanilla ice cream served with a cookie, but that was also a choice.💯

   Brought a group of 8 on a busy friday night. We were seated promptly and got our cocktails quickly. Appetizers and meals all came out in a very timely manner. All 8 of us were very happy with our meals. Our Server was on point; attentive, knowledgeable and very pleasant. We'll be back!

   We came in early for our reservation so that we would have time for a cocktail at the bar with Adam. Always a pleasure. Our group of 6 sat promptly at our reservation time. The wait staff took great care of us. Service, cocktails, appetizers and dinners all excellent. See you again soon.
