   The food we were able to get was good but they had a hard time keeping up with a lot of their offerings. After 3 times through the line and the prime rib being out every time we waited in front of it and took about 20 minutes for more to be loaded on the plates and it was gone within 3 people taking servings. I never saw any salmon out either or the chilled flank steak that I was looking forward to. The lamb was delicious and so was the Mac and cheese. Service was Incredible though especially for a holiday!

   Disappointing experience although I should have expected it at a Christmas buffet. Crowded. Noisy. Food was okay when it was there, but they had difficulties keeping good on the buffet. I expected more traditional options than were there. Never again for a holiday.

   While this is one of my go-to restaurants when people visit, their Christmas buffet was terrible. They only brought out small portions at a time, which were immediately scooped up by whomever happened to be in that spot in line. It took NINE minutes to get to the start of the hot buffet line, then they were out most everything except sides. I was *really* disappointed*, and also know now not to go here for brunch.

   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.

   Our family looks forward to the holiday brunch here every year—it has truly become a cherished tradition. The food is consistently delicious, with a wide variety of options to please everyone. While it can get quite crowded due to its popularity, the staff handles it beautifully, remaining friendly, attentive, and accommodating even during the busiest times. The festive atmosphere adds to the experience, making it feel special and celebratory. One minor improvement would be managing the wait times during peak hours for those with reservations, but overall, this place delivers an excellent holiday experience. Highly recommend!

   Great place for a Christmas family dinner. Round table, great service and food and the location is especially nice to show visitors.

   Second really mediocre experience at Founding Farmers in Georgetown. The staff is complacent. Drinks that are ordered together arrive at different times and during different courses. The drinks are weak and the Paloma is nothing but a glass of grapefruit juice with no subtle qualities. Questions about the menu are answered with indifference. The restaurant seems much more interested in stacking reservations than providing a consistent and enjoyable experience. Lots of work to be done.
