Service was friendly and efficient! Food was beautiful - some dishes were really superb like the crab legs, bread pudding, and prime rib. Even though we were indoors, the doors were left open for the cross breeze. A few flies hovered around, but the buffet area had little propellers to chase them away I would go back!

We arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early, and we got seated right away. The prime rib was nice and soft. Portion was huge. Made to order Poke Station was awesome. Crab legs were perfectly seasoned. Sashimi was delicious .. shrimp was huge. I didn't try the chowder . Bake goodies were enough for me, and the ice cream station had many choices. Our waiter was on time . Always keeping our glass full. Plates were cleared promptly . Everything was perfect . I gave a 4 star for the fish and chicken dish. I'd rather have a dish that was made with totally different taste instead. And for the chicken dish , maybe bbq chicken or chicken katsu. Other than that . The restaurant was clean. Dishes were full service was awsome . We'll be back for another special day for my family.
