| - Well ... the food is very good and the choices are impressive. But overall, it was a grueling experience. We got in line at 5:25 p.m., hoping to eat at 6 because we wanted to leave at 8 for a 9 p.m. show. However, we waited in line for almost an hour an a half. My companion nearly blacked out from low blood sugar.
Then we waited in more lines to get food, including 15 minutes for crab legs while people piled their plates as high as they could. (Hey, dude, the ocean called and they're running out of crab.) Another bottleneck was having to wait in line behind people having sushi hand-rolled for them, just to get served the Caesar and two other pre-made salads. They should've had two chefs there instead of one doing both.
We ended up feeling rushed and stressed, which is disappointing after paying $55 apiece for a meal. (And we didn't have time to change before our show, which put a damper on the evening.) The prices for Christmas Eve dinner were considerably more than stated on the website. Our server was a pro, if not a charmer. The food, however, was delicious. Favorites included the prime rib, venison, mini mac and cheese soufflé, and peppermint meringue cookies.
