    The host stand was a mess. It took nearly 30min to get a table after our reservation time. Very crowded with limited waiting area and no bar space. Once seated everyone was very nice. Salad bar was also very crowded .

    We were not seated for 30 Minutes after our reservation time. Three waiters were assigned to our table and we’d ask for a drink and they would never come or they’d forget. It was hard to get to the buffet because it was so full of people. We were seated in a busy walkway and people were constantly bumping into us. The prime rib and filet barely came around - mostly sirloin and flank steak come By. I even asked for bread and they didn’t bring us more bread. It was overwhelming and I will not be returning especially not in a holiday.

    We went to the Bethesda location for Father’s Day and had an amazing time. The food was fresh and the meats were well seasoned. The service was excellent and pricing is great. We will be back.

    Very good. However, we were made to wait for half an hour even though we reserved a table. The entrance space was full of people like my family.

    Fantastic dinner. Was super impressed with the market salad bar and really was way too much food although my husband and my son and his friend probably got their moneys worth. It was super loud in there. That was a downside and I ordered fish with my salad bar and it never came so I was done by the time they were going to bring it and I just took it home. Probably wasn’t quite as good reheated then it would’ve been at the table but again just too much food and I will just get the salad bar next time. Really cool idea though and food was delicious. My other party members loved it.

    We had to ask multiple times for the higher cuts of meat to be served. Had to ask for water each time. Salad bar had many empty items that were never refilled.

    The place was packed, and service was super slow—not the server’s fault though, she was really kind, just clearly overwhelmed. The floor and buffet area looked kind of messy and picked over. We had a reservation but still ended up waiting, which was a bummer since it was our anniversary. That said, the food was very good!

    Hannah, we're sorry to hear that your anniversary celebration didn’t go as planned due to the wait and other concerns.
