   While in the past, this has been a fine restaurant to go fair price for what you get, the service this time was a little bit anxious as the weight staff seem to be annoyed with any kind of question. This isn’t normally the way it is I would say it was due to the holiday, but the restaurant wasn’t that full to begin with. I’m not sure what went wrong this time we will be back.

   If you are coming for the all-you-can-eat-crab, this is not the buffet. Actually, it isn’t a buffet at all - you are not allowed to self-serve. Regardless, we’ve been coming to this buffet for at least eight years, some changes with Covid to be expected. Unfortunately, most of the restrictions implemented during the pandemic stuck around. During our most recent visit, last weekend, the crab was rationed to these extremely tiny pieces. It looked like what would have dropped to the bottom of a box of seafood you would try to salvage, but then give up because the tiny chards of meat weren’t enough. My regret is not taking photos. To my point, it’s expensive. If you want the primary part of your meal to be crab - this isn’t it. And you will be made to feel awkward if you visit the crab line repeatedly. I mean, I came for crab. 🦀

   We were pretty excited to try this place, the reviews were pretty good. We started with the calamari, it was extremely greasy, didn’t even finish it. My chicken piccata was ok, lobster tail was good. My husband had the halibut fish and chips, the fish was very much overcooked. Our server must’ve been having an off night, service was mediocre. For how much it costs to dine out these days, we will not be trying this place again.

   It's gotten really pricey now for $64 plus tax person. For this price, everyone should be able to get their own steamed crab, and other so called menu items off the line instead of having to wait for the server to bring it to you. Also, dessert should have it's own table, instead of asking the server for it. By the time we asked for dessert more than 3/4 of the them were already gone. That was disappointing 😞 Overall, quality of the food is very good.

   Music was (is always) great. Shrimp and scallop fondue, delish. Service excellent! Been a repeat customer for several years.
