We were seated in room with our family. It was very crowded but the staff was very patient with everyone and waiter was exceptional. This was the best buffet I have ever been to. All the foods have different recipes and you get a unique variety of flavors with each dish. I love coming to this restaurant on a regular but they made our Christmas extra special.

We both enjoyed our meals at Lberty Tavern, as we have in the past. The service, with Mason as the server, was excellent. Prices were very reasonable, particularly considering the quality of the servings. The Fruiti Du Mari was excellent. It may be on the menu only seasonally. We will be back again. Chris

Located close to Ford's Theater. Had tickets for Christmas Carol that night which is within walking distance from The Smith. Also, the Management accommodated a last minute change in the numbers of our party and made sure we made it to the show on time.
