We had a wonderful Thanksgiving buffet there with my family. It was very easy to make reservations through OpenTable. Copperleaf is location in the Cedarbrook Lodge. Beautiful location... Even though there were a number of people dining there at the same time, Everything was organized and well planned. Lots of food options available at the buffet. I particularly liked all the salad options they had. The Thanksgiving turkey was perfect. Our table was in a quiet dining area close to windows that overlooked the hotel grounds. The staff were very helpful. They would be the main reason I would return. It felt like a very special place.

I was able to snag a last minute reservation for the thanksgiving meal and it was a great experience. I was seated promptly. Service was excellent and the food was very delicious. The icing on the cake was my seat was in perfect view of a basketball game that I wanted to watch. Thanks for a perfect solo thanksgiving meal.
