- KPKathy PaleseJan 1, 20261.0Went there New Years Eve the worst dinner filet was tough and not cooked how we asked said crab cake we go a few pieces of crab meat under the tough steak and I mean the worst waited a 1 hour to get in girl at desk did not know what she was doing horrible experience we will not be going back there again
- JJJoeDec 28, 20252.0The service and Christmas decor were great. The food was inedible. I had the scallop carbonara. I've never seen a scallop cooked to destruction the way my scallops were cooked. Way, way beyond rubber. The dish was not carbonara... everything was simply smothered in a super salty Parmesan cheese sauce. Others in my party were not happy with their meals. The serving staff was very nice. The Christmas decorations were really beyond.
- LTlarry tichinelDec 21, 20255.0Good food,excellent service
- CLCeleste LiggettDec 9, 20255.0We went here for the thanksgiving buffet. The food was really good and there were plenty of choices. The servers in the buffet line were very pleasant and we enjoyed being served by them. Our server was wonderful. She was very attentive and we never needed anything as she was always ahead of having our plates removed and our glasses of tea filled. She had a great personality. I commend the management for the great staff especially for Thanksgiving day when they were more than swamped with guests. Everyone did a wonderful job in making you feel very welcomed. Please visit this restaurant for great food and service.
- MWMary WebbDec 5, 20251.0WORST FOOD EVER!!! We visited the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving and noticed a lot of cars at this restaurant so we thought we'd give it a try. BIG MISTAKE! They must have been the only place open for a Thanksgiving meal. They charged $46 per person plus an additional charge for using your credit card. You could not order from the menu. We had to stand in line with plate in hand for the worst meal I have ever had in a restaurant!! It was so bad that our son ate NONE of his. We left and found a convenience store open where we loaded up on snacks.
