    For a busy and crowded Christmas afternoon, both food and service were excellent! Though we had a reservation, there was some delay before we were seated but it didn’t detract from the overall pleasant experience.

    The place was full and we didn’t get our table on time; as a result the “all you can eat” menu wasn’t really that, as it was one of the last times available; the service ended and kitchen was closed before we could really get satisfied. On the other hand, our waiter was exceptionally friendly and attentive.
