| - Had a late lunch/early dinner there with 2 friends on New Year's Day--overall, disappointing for the following reasons:
** Although it looks like a "restaurant" it's really a "cafeteria"--you pick up a menu as you enter and form a line, then give the cashier your selection, pay your bill, and go find a table on your own. Your food will be brought to you.
** For a group of people standing in line, it's difficult to decide if the group wants to order an appetizer, split a bottle of wine, etc. It's also very hard to tell if you may or may not want to order dessert the minute you have walked in, before you've had your meal. No one followed up later with us on any of these things, though the place seemed well staffed.
** There was a once-grand Christmas tree in the dining room, but 3/4 of the ornaments had been removed and it was no longer lighted. New Year's Day may or may not be too late to expect to see an artificial tree lighted, but if it's time to remove it, then REMOVE IT all at once! No one was working on it, and a half-done project like this reflects badly on the ambience of the entire operation.
This place has an attractive dining room, a spectacular view of the mountains and the golf course, and is located at Sun City Festival in Buckeye--the only restaurant for miles around--and the food is good and reasonably priced. However, the way it is being run is a big disappointment.
