Friendly staff and owner. Very clean. Food was excellent and the experience was enjoyable.
Was great. Only negative was it was hard to get an initial waitstaff to take our order. Was a lot of confusion with waitstaff. Additionally the kitchen was the loudest I’ve ever encountered. It was not a quiet dinner due to the loudness of staff.
The best service ever! Took great care of our family!
Nice greeting from Jamie, the manager. We had a private room for our birthday celebration, with the balloon bouquet I had ordered. We enjoyed creating our own 4 course meals. Perfect service from Branden. When we got home, there was a phone message from Jamie letting us know they had found a bag we left behind.

The service was excellent. And the food is always delicious and served in a timely manor.
We sat in the bar service & food were excellent . We will be going back again soon!!!
Our waiter was very attentive without being annoying. The food was good. The kids were very happy with their meals, as was I.
Food and service were excellent
Server was awesome. The host was very rude. She was sitting down was never look up from the computer with short replies of “yeah” and “sit down” otherwise everyone else was nice.
The servers sre always very friendly and good about making substitutes.
Service was excellent
The waiter was so good.
Food is always great. Staff work hard and are pleasant. I ask for Kevin he's really good. I love the salad bar and potatoe soup is soo good. I tried my sons shrimp tequila noodle dish and that's next on my list for sure.
okay-good- nice servers!! the staff
great food at great prices
The service was slow and the chicken was overcooked (very dry).
We had a sample of chicken & apples. I had Tri tip & backed potato. Both meals were excellent.
Excellently prepared salmon, fresh salad buffet, very friendly waiter !
GOOD FOOD AT GOOD PRICES AND GOOD SERVICE.
The food was very good and there was plenty of it. I would have liked a timer on the table to help determine when the food (especially the chicken) was done.
take out order,,,no salad, veggies, etc just meat and potatoes so much garlic in potatoes we threw them out complete waste of money
The service was excellent and level of interaction the perfect balance of being interested in our evening and allowing us to enjoy our time out. On top of that, our server went above and beyond and brought us a small extra for celebrating several special events.
This place is expensive! The food is good, but for the price, you shouldn't have to cook your own food!
IT was Terrible- could not order what we wanted - we like different cheese and we I like Dark chocolate he likes White, even though we ordered two different meals we had to have the same dipping sauces- I contacted the manager they have not returned any emails- uggh-
Food and service were excellent. New menu with new pricing is going to make it very difficult for us to go more than one per year. Used to walking out spending $80. Spent $100 with restaurant.com certificate for $25.
There was a fan blowing on us 1/2 the time so we were either too cold or too hot. Service was OK, server did a good job preparing things as needed, food wasn't $110 for 2 good.
Service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious.
The food was amazing and our server was awesome. He was friendly, funny, and on top of drinks and the food came out in perfect time.
Our server, Ali, was excellent. I found the prices to be very high.
Fun "date night" with our granddaughter.
My favorite restaurant in the world!,
The food was good but it is expensive for what you get.
Juan was excellent, I tipped him extra.
We first visited one 15 years ago in Wilmington,Delaware.
We probably never would have tried this w/out the certificate. Not at all what we expected. It was very good, but a bit expensive, even w/the discount certificate. We will go back, but it will be a special occassion place, not something we could afford on a frequent basis.
Although the food was very good (except for the bbq pork) it is too pricey of a restaurant to go to often. The meal was not worth the $100+ we would have had to pay if we didn't have the coupon and I still feel like we paid too much. Also don't like it when gratuity is automatically included, because we have had awful service in the past at other places when they figure out they get an automatic % tip no matter how they treat you.
really enjoyed the experience but cannot go very often because of the high prices.
There was a party of 15 high school girs next to our table which was very loud. This totally took away from our experience.
Though our server was pleasant, she would say she would be right back, we would not see her for 15+ minutes. We did have a nice dinner. The hostess at the front desk was very helpful and nice. We will return.
It was a really nice experience.
Did not like them adding the gratuity to our bill.
Overprice and service not so good. But only fondue rest in the area.
It was a very enjoyable night out. The food and service were very good.
GREAT EXPERIENCE! But a little out of my price range for dinner for 2. That's the only reason I won't be returning soon. But again, great food, great experience.
It was a family celebration and we enjoyed the fact that we were the only group in our room.
The food was very good, the service was quick, nice and very friendly. I will recommend this restaurant to our friends.
