    We arrived on time, were promptly seated - and received excellent service from Sarah! The buffet table was, as usual, superb, both in appearance and content - so good, in fact, that my wife chose to dine solely from it! The meat offerings came around at regular intervals and, with the sole exception of the chicken (as per usual, it was overcooked and dry!) were of excellent quality - and the servers of each offering always had a smile on their faces! And a special shout out to Teresa - although we only come maybe every other month, she always seeks us out to greet us .... what an asset to the restaurant she is!
