    The Thanksgiving buffet was great and I don’t think I’ll ever want to cook at home again! We completely enjoyed the turkey and stuffing, the mashed potatoes, gravy, sprouts, sweets, Mac and cheese, salmon, ham, roast beef, in short, everything. Nice, friendly service, and it was nice to be able to hear one another at the table. Seating was very comfortable and nicely spaced. A hit for our party of 6!
