Food was pretty good, but the burgers came with mayo spread on both sides though menu didn't specify this. Menu should list all the ingredients so people can ask to remove any they're allergic to before the food is prepared.

We ate here while charging our car at the super charger in the parking lot. It wasa Monday evening 6:30 pm. We wanted a nice dinner while waiting. We were seated immediately the restaurant was almost empty. AAfter a bit the waitress came to take our orders. I explained my dairy allergy and asked for recommendations. I ended up ordering the Mediterranean Chicken and Linguini with no cheese or butter. My husband also ordered a chicken dish. While waiting, we wondered about bread. It only arrived after they served our meal and I specifically asked if the meal came with bread. It took far too long for the food to arrive. Mine was piping hot but my husband's food was cold. Both were badly overpowered with garlic.

Thanksgiving dinner was good. There could have been better settings in the restaurant. Should have been table cloth and flowers. The service was excellent.

The food was beyond delicious. I would have preferred more of a thick 'candy' sauce for the sweet potatoes but they were nonetheless, delicious. Turkey was so moist and tasty. Ham was wonderful. Dessert selection might have been a bit more expanded - not so much pumpkin flavored offerings (ice-cream, cheesecake and pie). Pecan pie was a no-show! Service was GREAT! Price was a bit high (likely, because champagne was offered). Next time there should be a price for meal with champagne, or without. I prefer without. Recommended highly. I hope my suggestions are taken to mind?

We love coming here when we meet with friends. The food is good and the ambiance is very nice and it's on the quieter side so you can actually hear yourself talk. No background noises.

We enjoyed the buffet. Make your own waffles, made to order eggs and plenty of pastries, fruit and side dishes.

The food was very good but the kitchen was very slow and with hungry kids not a plus. The server was also slow to get our drink order. She was not very sure of the menu items and was not attentive to our table after we received our food.
