What a disappointment. It started by being rubbed the wrong way from the hostess who seemed almost inconvenienced that people kept showing up. Instead of warm greetings, it was “just one minute”. The place had plenty of empty tables, so not sure what that was about?We had to follow up for a high chair. The hostess looked in a few places as if she didn’t know where the high chairs were. The worst part of it all- we were seated for over 15 minutes and not greeted by a server that entire time and not offered water. The server it turns out was assigned to another table with 15 people which I understand takes time, but they need to figure out a better way to not ignore guests. We asked to speak to the manager and they instead sent the hostess. We left. For the prices you charge, I shouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes just to get water and hound the hostess for a high chair.Also, for the prices you charge, would expect the bathroom to have toilet paper in both stalls and soap.It’s a shame that customers are treated this way (saw other recent reviews that mentioned poor service too). We were really looking forward to this experience as we at there once before and loved the food that time.

I wanted to love this place. The inside was nicely decorated . The service was good but not great, the table area is pretty small and becomes cluttered quickly with multiple drinks and apps. When our dinner plates arrived, we had to stack used appetizer plates around the table. Waiting for someone to remove them had taken a long time and made it difficult to eat. The pasta portions looked enormous, probably making it the best value on the menu. A complimentary antipasto is given, which is a nice touch. If you like thick chicken cutlets for your entree, then you may enjoy a chicken parm (my family does not). Chicken marsala was super sweet, which again was a disappointment. We had cannolis for dessert, and they were amazing; the shell was light and crispy, and the sugar was balanced, and thats the reason I would try this restaurant 1 more time before writting it off entirely. You certainly dont leave hungry but you pay for it at around $40 a pasta dish and $80 for a steak

Mike treated with disrespect and I’m going to mark my words the next governor of Nj he is just jealous because he can’t dance like me and he didn’t want to pay in the past for a uphill tow of his car. He thinks he knows a lot about the restaurant business I could do better because he doesn’t even know the main thing about real estate location location location he doesn’t even have enough parking!

The buffet on Thursday night is absolutely the best food I have ever seen on a buffet, anywhere! The fresh salads, huge sweet crab legs, and I think my favorite is the homemade ravioli. Can't wait to come back. The servers are the best! Kudos to Elvis.

This place used to be great. My wife and I went this past Friday and there was much to be desired. For the amount they charge you, I am not expecting my cups to be dirty, fingerprints all over my plates (a HUGE turnoff), salad dressing spilled all over the condiment cup and plate it was on (and still served to me that way. Why not repour it in a new clean cup and serve it on a clean plate?). Just messy. We got home and checked our card statement and saw that the server helped herself to a few extra dollars on the tip. I called them and was refunded but there was no apology or anything. Just a woman who didn't seem too surprised that this has happened. They also have a 3% convenience fee for using your card which is crazy considering the cost. Do people still walk around with $200 - $300 in cash these days? Needless to say, we won't be back and it's a shame because the crab cakes are pretty good. Expensive and served on a not so clean plate, but good.

Recommended the stuffed center cut pork chop!My boyfriend went during the $99 Tuesday 4 course meal for 2. It's an amazing deal that also includes a bottle of wine!

Went here for Easter brunch. The food was outstanding. Service was great. My only complaint was it was a bit crowded and difficult to get from the buffet station to table. I want to try dinner on another night.
