You guys need to give the drivers our phone number. The food was just ok and it was lukewarm. I definitely have had better local dishes in town this week. Also, my biggest complaint is that there was no buffet option. The description made it sound like you had a choice of the menu or the buffet however, the buffet was not offered at all. I was disappointed. It was so hot…”
