"Wish we could have gotten to eat. Had reservations for a specific time on Saturday morning. We were a little early and when we checked in we’re told to come back at our reservation time. So after waiting until that time and after standing in line behind a group of 7 without a reservation, we are told there are no available tables, oh yeah and the group of 7 without a reservation got seated. Noted, reservations are not a thing here. Then after seating the a couple more groups, we are asked to pay before we go in, which makes sense since it is a buffet and that’s how they do it, no problem but when we ask if there is a table ready when we are asked to pay, there isn’t. They gave away the last available table to people without reservations, there is a 2 hour minimum so we are told it will be 30 more minutes before we are seated. Somebody please buy this awesome place with the cool decor and run it right. Could be a great place, if only."
"Went for Valentines Day. Food was good. Good vibes. Very slow service. The place was far from full but we had our water refilled each time about ten minutes after our cups were without liquid. They do this thing where they pour a ton of ice into your cup so you're really only getting a third of a cup of water and then they disappear. The creme brulee was the smallest shallowest serving I've ever seen in me life!"
"We went for restaurant week on a Wednesday evening. Overall, the food was good. One of the better prime ribs I've had, being well seasoned and well cooked. My creme brule was done well but one of the other ones was a smidge over-bruleed. They also ran out of several things on their restaurant week menu, which is understandable since we were a little later in the day, but still unfortunate. The service was very friendly, but a little slow. I would definitely come back though."
"Came here with my family on a Thursday for dinner with a reservation for our group of 7. It was not busy at all and we were seated right away. There is the option to sit outside, but we opted to stay inside. Lighting was a little dark. We were served water right away, and our drink orders taken. We were also served bread with a side of butter. The bread was hot, soft and fresh. We ordered the Crispy Calamari to share. The calamari was cooked well, but it definitely needed some seasoning. I ordered the Seared Salmon, and my wife ordered the Aviator Burger. The salmon was skinless, and seasoned and cooked well; moist and flaky. The burger, cooked to a medium, had great flavor and was juicy. The entrées come with either a soup or salad, which I went with a French Onion soup. The soup was good; not too salty or chunky. The service was friendly and great, giving good recommendations and being attentive. In my opinion, the food is overpriced, paying more for the view of the executive airport and seeing planes fly in and out. I wouldn't come back regularly for dinner, but they do have brunch buffet on Sundays, which would be interesting to see their food selection."
"Mediocre hotel level food, reservations mean nothing, stunning ambience especially outside My husband was very proud that he had gotten brunch reservations here for Mother's Day. We arrived exactly at our time of 9:45. There was a whole line of roughly 40 people waiting who all had reservations. The line moved decently quick but it was still weird to have to wait with reservations. We finally got checked in around 10:05 I believe. But that didn't mean we had a table. Reservations don't mean you have a table apparently. My understanding was that they had a sign out front stating that reservations had priority. But let's say if I had showed up at 9:15. I would have been sat long before my 9:45 reservation. I'm willing to be wrong about this however. It's just based on my own understanding. We had to wait in a very pretty foyer for around 15 minutes. I got bored and went to check out the food. It was hard to believe we were being asked to pay 80 bucks per adult and I believe $40 or $45 per child for what was essentially a Marriott level breakfast as well as some seafood. It was completely cramped with people elbowing each other. Loud noise and kind of hot and sweaty. I did see people with crab legs and in a corner. I also saw the prime rib that was advertised. But I couldn't get close enough to get a photo. Maybe it was amazing. Maybe it was worth that extra money and I just didn't know because I wasn't willing to wait around. My twin kids were hungry and although I gave them snacks before we left, we had not factored in the extra wait time. The lady in the front taking care of reservations did seem very apologetic and mildly surprised when we were leaving. The staff themselves seem to be hustling pretty hardcore. I'm pretty sure this is the fault of some really poor managerial decision that everyone else just had to compensate for in chaos. Maybe a brunch on a different day would be worth the price and wait. As for me and my family, we went to studio diner where I got a free mimosa and got sat immediately."
