Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We enjoyed all the food selections we made. We all appreciated the fact that it was buffet style so you can get what you wanted. We made reservations and you have to pay for your food in advance so there was no waiting when we arrived. The drinks are not included and you pay for those on site when you order. Your meal comes with 2 tickets for mimosas or juice. The mixed drinks were pretty, but just okay taste wise. And the mimosas were just ok, the champagne was a brut which made them a little bitter. Our server was new and in training, so the service was hit or miss. She was nice and definitely trying. The manager and young man that was clearing the tables were the highlight of the service. Be mindful to read all the details because they will not sit you if all of your party is not present. There is a 90-minute time slot for your table meaning after your 90 minutes they do ask that you leave to open that table up for the next reservation. There were several celebrations happening at various tables. There was a Pianist there who kept the crowd engaged as he gave shutouts and sing alongs and play selections. This is an old school cafeteria so the restrooms are the same as a high school bathroom meaning the stars are small, the toilets and sinks are low, but it gets the job done LOL. It is around the corner once you come into the front of the school and somewhat unsuspecting so make sure you just look out for the name above the school bus entrance. We're definitely going to be returning to try the dinner as we enjoyed a lunch brunch on this visit.

New visit — the price went up to about $19 now. The food selection is pretty much the same as before. The steaks were overcooked and too tough, but the salmon was delicious. The shrimp was too salty, and the fruits weren’t fresh. Service was good though. Previously $17 per person. The service was very slow—I ended up getting up to refill my own drinks. However, the food was really good and worth the wait. I recommend checking the daily menu on their website before visiting.

My family had a birthday brunch for me here. Jazz band performed lovely ballets, top tier hospitality and service, delectable all you can eat option, and two complimentary mimosas per person. We definitely will frequent this hidden gem.
