| - Food 3.75/5 (60% of final grade)
The buffet table's spread wasn't that appealing, though they had a very interesting cheese bread loaf. What was really above average about the food was the they had these cheese ball breads (that you have to request for them to bring you), and high quality meats. The experience is also unique in that the employees will actually go around the restaurant with different freshly-grilled meats (steaks, chicken breasts, kebabs, all the good stuff) and cut it for you. You have a little metal tongs that you hold the meat with while they cut the meat for you. DO NOT PULL on the meat though, as I was told by the first person who cut the cut for me.
Ambiance 2/5 (10% of final grade)
Could have been so much better if there wasn't this super loud music by the live band. Don't get me wrong, I love live music, it's just that it was too loud for me to even hear my friends on the other side of the table, while they were shouting. That isn't normal volume, I don't think. The lights were dim, and in general it seemed like an above-average place, but only bring a date here if you want to concentrate on the food and have zero conversations. Seriously, the music was way too loud.
Service 3.5/5 (10% of final grade)
The employees were well-dressed and attentive despite being busy. Even though my group of 5 went during Summerlicious, we were asked how we liked the food and everything my the lady server. The meat cutters would usually be gentlemen. The only reason I didn't give a higher score was because were requested pineapple several times with different servers, but most of them failed their promise to come back with it. Luckily, one very good homie brought the goods, and that was awesome.
Cost 2.5/5 (10% of final grade)
The cost was expected with the quality of the food, the experience, and the service. Not much of a bargain, but standard. With the frequency at which the servers came around with the meat, you don't actually get THAT much. It's just the illusion you're getting a lot, because you eat slowly and get full faster.
Brownie Points 3/5 (10% of final grade)
To the hot cheese bread balls the lady waitress brought out for us. And the pineapple.
Final Grade = 67/100 = 3 Stars (But almost 4!)
TLDR: Go once to experience what it's like, but it's not a place I would be back to anytime soon. The meat is extraordinary, but the experience as a whole was only average.
