   Great food, esp if you stick to the seafood and sides. The meats can be a bit underwhelming. Skip the boba . Lobster tails were the star. Coffee and desserts for a sweet finish. Expensive but would definitely go back.

   On a regular day, the food and service would be a ten out of ten. But today, the food was mid, the caviar expensive was trash. They should have had real caviar. The king crab was not even worth it. The lobster was over cooked. And the service was disappointing. I'll come back on a regular day but never again on a special day. It's just not worth it.

   First off, yes it is worth the price I paid. Second, yes you get unlimited king crab legs, lobsters, prime rib, etc. The food is all edible although since it is a buffet not all things are as good as you can find elsewhere - but that is expected. And if you love king crab or lobster, this is your place. Servers were all friendly but sometimes they got busy, especially early in the evening, but nothing that would be called anything but great for a buffet. Desserts were good, and better than expected. Live music was nice. Parking was great and fairly normal at just $20. Expect a good upscale buffet at a fair price considering the upscale nature of what they serve. Expect lots of birthday parties (and other celebrations) around you and join in the celebration. Maybe I'll see you there.

   The buffet is delicious. This was our second time. Went today for daughter's birthday. Was disappointed that no whole lobster or king crab legs on Sunday brunch buffet. It closes at 2pm and they bring them out at 5pm. They charge $109.00 for an adult brunch buffet and hold back on the king crab's and lobster. Such a disappointment. Service was great but we were a party of 6 and they added 18% gratuity on the bill without telling us so our server was double tipped. My bad for not reading the bill better. Won't go back for brunch again.
