The staff is great and the food was so good! I had a wedding vow renewal and reception here and every one of my guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food and atmosphere was here! I chose the 5 station buffet and there was so much food to choose from (and such a great price too for what you get)!! A great selection, something for everyone and they set it up so nicely. The chef and servers were so friendly and so helpful. My experience as the "bride" was wonderful too. They were so helpful and just so nice and accommodating to my particular needs. Being that this was a vow renewal ceremony and not the actual big day "main event" I was a little more laid back and less frills than I normally would have, but honestly I didn't need the big frills here. Everything just turned out so perfect and so elegant.
