Food for 4:00 pm seating on Thanksgiving buffet was meh . Rolls were hard, roast turkey was dry and stringy, roast beef was DRY. ..my daughter tried the orange glazed turkey offering but said she didn;t care for it as an alternative to traditional roast turkey...the cornbread dressing was OK. Hot vegetable choices were unusual for universal appeal (asparagus and brussels sprouts) better choices to appeal to more folks might have been green beans, peas, corn, cooked carrots, a spinach dish, etc. Cold salads (I tried 2 of the 4) were different but tasty. Deserts (carrot cake, apple crisp) were very good, family member said chocolate cake was dry. All in all it was OK but not great .

The buffet service operated with a single line, which resulted in long wait times to get food. A dual buffet line would have improved efficiency. The meats at the carving station were not served warm, and neither were the mashed potatoes or other side dishes. The dessert table was decent, but nothing extraordinary; the desserts tasted pre-packaged. The cake slices were excessively large, leading to many half-eaten pieces being discarded—a significant waste. We paid $34 each for the buffet, and it was definitely not worth the price. I won’t be returning.
Four of us had dinner on a Friday night. The space was very empty. There were just two tables—ours and another. We were disappointed with the sweet potato chips—too sweet and not crispy at all. I had the portobello sandwich, which was okay served with regular fries that were much better than the sweet potato chips. Two people had the braised ribs and polenta, which they liked. The other person had a salad that was good. Great for quiet conversation. Waiter did a good job.
Thanksgiving buffet had a nice selection of very good food salads, sides, carving station, desserts. We all liked the rather unique Turkey Collards. Service was excellent. Nice that our party of 7 was able to sit at a table and actually have a dinner conversation without too much noise. Decor was fine, not anything special. We very much enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back. Book a table now
This was a very pleasant surprise of a dining experience. The buffet line was smooth and the quality of the food was above and beyond what was expected. Everything was fresh, flavorful and replenished quickly. The entire staff was friendly and attentive especially our waiter who went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable thanksgiving dinner. Job well done!
Lovely homemade food. Great selection. Good service. Attentive staff. All that was missing was a bit of festive decoration. The room was rather blend. But the meat was cooked perfectly, testy and plentiful and the bourbon pecan pie was stunning. All fresh . We enjoyed the variety, quality and presentation.
they weren't really open so it was $125 in a bar experience. what should I say? They should have brought us in that they were not actually open to eating.
This location has just gained repeat customers! We got engaged here, wanted to try the dining and it was AMAZING! Book a table now

"The Empachori, onion and cheese, and the biscuit were excellent, and the brisket was also fantastic! All the empanadas were served hot, with a crispy exterior and delicious filling. I’d rate it 9/10."
