    I would have never imagined that a “buffet” could be this excellent. Choice and preparation of everything our party of four had was very well prepared and served. We all had oysters, crab legs, shrimp, tuna poke, salads, blackened grouper, prime rib, veggies and sides and finally desert that included made to order banana foster. Wine list was adequate and at a range of price points. Last our waiter Carlos, a veteran of 11 years at Blue Ridge made the experience one of fine dining, very attentive and professional.

    The place had two large parties. It was difficult to speak to my party members but it would be that way in any full restaurant. Excellent food and service…EVERY SINGLE TIME! That’s important and why we keep coming back. Thanks for always delivering a great experience.
