Service
Pros:

Cons:
"I will never attend another event hosted by this location as it felt like we were treated harshly for pointing out a mistake they made."
"Some of the staff was attentive but most were very forgetful and slow on service."
"Instead of trying to resolve the situation or cover our bill they asked us to leave because she could be 'contagious'."
"The only reason I am giving an overall rating of 3⭐️is because of the mid age lady at the front desk. She was not the most welcoming person when I walked in which ruined my mood."
"Tonight I had one rude waitress with an attitude."
"We waited awhile for our reservation but they overbooked the place!"
"The only thing I had an issue with was the hostesses at the front desk, they were not so welcoming."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food is superb as always."
"The steak was good. I found that the Medium Rare tasted better than the well done."
"Food was of good quality and they came around with plenty of the premium cuts."
"The food was fantastic, the drinks were perfect."
"The Market table salad bar was incredibly tasty and so many varieties."
"Each cut of meat tasted very delicious."
"The food as always was great and the drinks tops tier."
Cons:
"I only paid 44$ for the cuts of Brazil special, and I am so happy I didn’t end up paying for the full dinner service. Nearly all of the meat is underseasoned and improperly rested - resulting in tough and chewy meat with little flavor."
"The buffet had very limited options. The only saving grace for the buffet was the bacon."
"Although there were over a dozen different types of meats listed on the menu, I only saw 3 meats come around."
"Save your money. Went here to celebrate my birthday. The chicken, pork, and bacon items were extremely dry."
"The meats were either over cooked or way under cooked."
"The buffet is very underwhelming, nothing looked even remotely appetizing, worst of all the food made my friend sick."
"The meat quality was disappointing, far below what I expected from a renowned steakhouse."
