The service was excellent. In fact it was a bit more than we needed but the meat servers were very conscientious in serving their items. The salad bar is one of the best we’ve seen in a while. The prices were very reasonable and lunch is an amazing value.

Great food, except for sausage was not cooked, chicken was over cooked, some of the Gouchos, were a little overwhelming, and they obviously thought we got our money worth, at one point they pushed deserts on us and as soon as some of our party finished thier food they were quick to remove the meat card and plate.

Salad bar was scrumptious and simply wonderful! Fruits were sweet, tasteful and fresh, and truly, nearly every item at the salad bar were just outstandingly good and fresh. The cheesy bread kept coming! Those are the most marvelous little delights of the whole dining experience! Meat was tender and juicy and nicely salted just right. Not overly salted nor bland. The Italian chianti was a bit underwhelming. I wish the taste was more complex and lively. It was neither. The birthday creme brûlée was brought out nicely with a lit candle and a well wish. Well done! I was instantly recognized by one of the waiters. It's always nice to be remembered and appreciated! A few boos: Mixed salad greens at the bar was juuust starting to wilt a bit. Not brown - just starting to look a little limp. I wish the cheese selection was more varied. There were mozzarella, brie, parmesan (which were superb choices) and two sliced cheeses whose taste profiles may have been too similar; a better separation of tastes would've been better. Lastly, I saw another guest with French fries. I wish my table was just given FF's as part of the side dish collection without me needing to ask for them. All in all, a very positive experience. The constructive feedback is merely personal observations and did not materially take away from a very enjoyable evening.

Overall a good experience. The chicken was a bit dry and the ribs. The rest of the meal was fantastic. Great service but a little difficult to understand the waitress as her accent was very thick. She was super sweet .
