Big let down... Last time I ate the Thanksgiving Dinner here was 20+ years ago. I've eaten $500 dinners, eaten in Paris, Milan, Capri, Naples, Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, LA - but I don't dare compare this place to anywhere. The Prime Rib was difficult for the server to cut and the butter knife on the table wasn't about to cut it. The turkey tasted like a salt brine. The ham tasted almost as good as a Dak's canned ham. I wasn't about to peal and eat shrimp when I'm paying $53 for a buffet, so I didn't touch them. The seafood salad and poached salmon were the only things worth eating on the whole buffet. The garlic mashed potatoes were dry and had an overwhelming flavor of cumin - I couldn't find the gravy until too late and its taste was consistent with non-iodized salt. The green beans were tough to eat and. There was no fruit to remove the taste of salt from my mouth so I was forced to eat lemon slices from tea. The desert consisted of thawed pies and cakes found in any grocery frozen food section.
The bottom line is that the chef must hold stock in the Morton's Salt company and the stock jumped up.
I was sadder than I've ever been when paying $125 for a dinner for two and my wife saying "we've should have gone to Subway" didn't help anything.
Good luck to those who believe the quality of this food is acceptable...

Read moreMade reservations for my wife and I with the hopes of having a great fine dining experience. We were told over the phone that they were a fine dining restaurant. The place first of all, as you enter the main resort entrance to get to the restaurant, it looked amazing. Now as we entered to get inside, a smell hit us in the face. The entire restaurant reeks of crab and seafood. Not a fresh smell, but a rank foggy never washed-up seafood stench. The smell of body oder, seafood, and a musty beer rot filled our noses. We were seated against a wall, at a very small table, with zero room to move. The clientele was a mix of well dressed redneck bud drinking crab leg buffet eating pigs. Guys in orange hats and flannel stuffing their faces with crab legs is NOT fine dining. We left before we were even greeted by a server. How can you call a buffet fine dining? How exactly do you take reservations for a fine dining experience with the stench of rotten seafood in your nose. Worst experience we've had and we will not recommend this crap hole to anyone who might wear a tie to...
