The food and service are great. The new menu is a bit disappointing since some favorites were eliminated but overall a good place for a meal.

Our server Nick was friendly and outstanding. Food was delicious and order was correct. 20% senior discount before 3pm was unexpected and very nice. Planning on going back soon.

This was our first time at the Sunday brunch. It was a fairly standard buffet but the main food items were very good (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns). It’s a nice environment and online reservations are available which makes it easy. And the fact that it’s $12.95 per person and $10.95 for seniors makes it an excellent value. We will definitely be back!

Bar service was outstanding. The 2 women there were pleasant and helpful. Food was just average. I had the Friday FISH FRY. It was nothing to rave about. It was all you could eat for $19.00. Would not order that again. Reflections still has the best Friday fish fry around (though theirs is NOT all you can eat - still the tastiest). Place was busy. I think they come for the staff, certainly not the food.

We go here every year or so to try it out. The food is always great!! Take advantage of the Sunday breakfast buffet, it is awesome! As for the service, it gets worse each time. For those staff that have been there for awhile, they do a great job. We just seem to get stuck with newer staff each time and the last time was the worst. He had to ask for our meals several times despite writing it down. Also forgot both our salads and literally disappeared for 20 minutes at a time, even when we were waiting to give out order or were waiting for drinks. I filled my own water glass with the rest of the pitcher he had forgotten on the table next to us as it had been at least a half hour since he checked in with us. Although it was kinda amusing to us, he cussed multiple times when he made mistakes and really brought the mood down on Father’s Day when we went. So definitely get food here, it is great but take it to go to avoid having to get poor service

They were very busy due to the holiday, so they had trouble keeping up. I will try again on a different day because all in all, it was a nice place with reasonable prices.
