| - I didn't realize this was like a concert with food. I'm not sure if the music varies from one week to another. But the gospel band that played, did a lot of preaching. More than I've experienced in Glide Church (my favorite gospel venue in San Francisco.)
The band was fine, but the set was very short!! One of the singers seemed to spend an awful lot of time introducing his family, his friends, any married people in the audience, any birthday people in the audience, and basically jabbering instead of cranking out the good gospel music.
The food was plentiful, as any buffet is, but nothing stood out, and a few things just didn't taste good. The carving station had ham...or ham. The salad bar didn't have anything beyond standard salad stuff. The deserts were ok. The shrimp were fine. The biscuits and gravy were fine. The chicken was yummy. And everything else was utterly forgettable.
Also, maybe drink prices went up, but I got a diet Coke, a bloody mary and a club soda, and it was $12.50.
I love gospel music, but prefer mine without the preaching -- esp in a secular venue.
I wanted to go.
I went.
I wouldn't go back again.
It wasn't awful. But there wasn't anything great about it either.
