For them to have been closed for several years to reopen to less options, poorer food quality, and the same old atmosphere as before, I don’t recommend. My family used to come here monthly before covid and since, the food has gone down hill. I just spent $300 (including tip) for a family of 5 and I would argue that the local food truck had better tasting options. The food was bland, under-seasoned, the desserts are no longer rich and creamy… just sugary, thin, soupy, artificially flavored slop.
They still advertise a 7 station international experience that is now down to 6 stations. The “international” consists of basic sushi rolls, bland tacos, and the most disgusting Pizza I have ever tasted.
No cheese wheels, no meat cuts. No antipasto. I honestly want a refund but I can’t expect that here.
When the waitress asked how everything was… we shared a nonverbal exchange that made it clear she knew exactly how I was feeling and a good laugh to follow.
For $50, one would expect that everything would be at least edible.

We were so excited to hear the Fresh Harvest Buffet was going up again. Before COVID we loved the all you can eat crab legs and all of different food stations and the different variety of foods. Then the crab legs were extra. We still treated ourselves every now and then. But my husband and I went last night after the reopen of Fresh Harvest. We were disappointed of the less choices of food and stations. The food was bland . I just hope after reading the reviews that they will make some changes such as adding crab legs fresh cooked salmon. Definitely not worth the price they charge . We won't be going back for a while.. But on a positive note. It was clean and the waitress was very nice and friendly..

Honestly seeing the reviews made me hesitate but decided to see for myself. It wasn’t that bad as most of the reviews made it seem like, enjoyed the food that I got, it wasn’t bland as some would say or depending if what i got versus them so yeah. Definitely the buffet could be better and improved before it closed. The different cuisines & food options was a bit too little than what it used to before, that’s definitely - 1 for it but hoping they would reopen some of different cuisines station like before like the Asian cuisine station, it was one of the best before when it was open, hopefully they reopen it soon. I’m guessing they’re testing the waters for now with only some cuisines opened since they closed. Hopefully in the future when time goes on they’ll reopen full capacity like before.

If I went by the recent views I wouldn't have gone to this buffet. It was EXCELLENT! Service was great, food was hot and fresh. Pasta dishes, antipasti, pizza, fried shrimp, salmon, prime rib, fried chicken, fresh made stirfry, sushi and cheesecake tart that is right up there with Capital Grill. I went Thursday 2/6 for dinner. It was well worth it. Maybe the initial opening didn't go well. But it's really good now.
