Food always tastes better with great company and couldn't ask for better company than lunch at La Hiki Kitchen with two of our Oahu ohana during our day trip from Maui to Oahu. Located in the Four Seasons, ambiance of course is unmatched and so much quieter of course than neighboring Aulani. The bao buns were perfect for sharing to start off and was delicious. Although $7-10 more, I still felt the mac nut crusted fish had the best value than some of the other options. The LHK burger is satisfying but for $30 is on the high side even if it comes with the side of onion rings. The eggplant a la plancha was really light as it was one eggplant steak with labneh. For $27, I would have thought it would have come with more than one slice. But I guess if you can afford the Four Seasons, this is just a drop in the bucket. But if you're just coming for lunch, it may be sticker shock for that dish. Service was wonderful as expected with a Four Seasons and they were so sweet to give my husband a complimentary dessert for his birthday.
SUNDAYS! BRUNCH! ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT! Reservations Almost Disappear As Soon As They Come Available. This would be my first attempt at getting a reservation for this restaurant located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Ko Olina, O'ahu. This place is mostly out doors. Mostly covered, too. PRO TIP: if you want Air conditioning, request a table closest to the food. They keep those areas cool. But, it's still out doors. So, if there's breezes going through, there goes your AC. lol. The Food is So Good. There was a Poke Section, a crustacean section, (if you want a lobster tail, head over to the ramen station and request a lobster tail). There's a hot section, salad section, Dessert Section, Carving Station and everyone's favorite, ICE CREAM stations with toppings.. Vanilla & Chocolate are the two flavors...
This is the best high end brunch I've ever had! It's a casual venue located in the Four Seasons Koolina Resort. Reservations are a must! It's a pricey buffet but well worth it in my opinion. There's an extensive seafood selection including lobster tails, crab, shrimp, oysters, poke, sashimi, and sushi. In addition to lots of main dish options, they also have a whole roast pig and prime rib too! I've been to larger buffets before but the quality of this brunch just can't be beat. Come hungry!
I've come here for lunch and breakfast, and prefer breakfast. For breakfast get the acai bowl if you're craving something sweet, and the loco moco if you want something savory.
Saturday Brunch!!! We made reservations for Saturday @9:30am. We checked-in and we waited about 5 minutes for them to get a table ready. We were greeted by our server Cody who informed us that if we were partaking in the buffet that we could make our plates whenever we were ready and that he would come back if we wanted to order Ala Carte. Half my party ate at the buffet and half my party ordered Ala carte. I ordered a bacon eggs benedict, which definitely tasted "farm to table" as advertised. The other person ordered the "Farmer's Skillet" which we do not recommend, it came with an overeasy egg and sourdough...we were not expecting that. Extremely nice place to have brunch. Service was good. The view is nice and the ambience felt airy. I heard the Sunday brunch is the better brunch out of all the days and I'd like to come back to try that!
Stopped in for breakfast during my stay. Reservations are recommended but not required. I had a short 5 minute wait and I was quickly seated with a lovely view of the pool. Diners have an option of enjoying the breakfast Buffett or ordering dishes from the menu. After contemplation, I ordered and enjoyed the two eggs any style with roasted Molokai sweet potatoes. I enjoyed my dish, especially the roasted Molokai sweet potatoes. Delicious food and excellent service, I'm a fan!
Every time we go on a trip to Ko Olina, we make sure to stop by the La Hiki breakfast buffet. It is a 20 minute scenic walk from the Marriott hotels, 5-10 minute walk from the Aulani property. The service is always friendly, and the ambiance of the morning buffet doesn't feel overcrowded or busy. The highlight of the buffet for me is always the make-your-own-omelette bar, where a chef makes the omelette in front of you and you take it to your table fresh. There is a diverse range of food options, from savory to sweet, and a range of cultures represented. If you buy a drink (I got POG, definitely recommend), there are unlimited refills.
Came here for the brunch on Sunday and it was very nice. Better than last visit, it was busy but not packed, food was fresh and good quality. I like the DYI poke bowl, seafood and lobster. Desserts were all very good. Service was great. Will be back again!
Pretty disappointed in the selection compared to the increase in price of $135.00 pp. Keep in mind we went from the time they opened when there used to be pan grilled lobster, grilled tenderloin, handmade sushi and sashimi just to name some items. The only thing available of the fore-mentioned items is the lobster which is no longer grilled. The fresh seafood bar is now limited to snow crab legs, oysters, 4 selection of poke of which 2 are salmon. On the positive the prime rib and roast pig were tender and delicious. The music provided by a local artist, Kamuela Kahoano, was fantastic. They added a sundae bar that only had vanilla and chocolate with toppings. Desert selections were ok and nothing really outstanding. The service from Russell was still good and attentive. Needless to say this will be our last time.
Best Sunday brunch on Oahu! We arrived for our reservation just after 1:00pm and were quickly taken to our table which had a great view of the ocean (and pool). Our server greeted us, asked for our drink orders (juices and soft drinks are included) and gave us an overview of the various food stations. Being only 1 hour before the last brunch seating we weren't sure if the full brunch spread would be available, but were pleased to see that everything on the menu was hot, fresh and constantly being replenished! From the carving station, to the seafood spread, to the sundae bar - we loved everything. Bonus: as of 8/17, dining at La Hiki includes valet parking (3 hr. Validation stamp)
The three of us went to La Hiki, a buffet breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel on the west side of Oahu. The variety was decent. We particularly liked a brown smoked fish, which was very delicious. We also enjoyed the freshly made Omelet with assistance. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and there was a swimming pool outside. The staff were very friendly and often asked us what we needed. The environment inside the Four Seasons Hotel was also great. After breakfast, we strolled around the area.
Sunday Brunch at the World Famous La Hiki at 4 Seasons, Ko Olina. Tried making reservations this morning and they are booked 2 months out So as we were making our way to another restaurant, we stopped by La Hiki and the hostess was gracious enough to seat us in less than a minute Endless lobster tails, king crab legs and all the other onolicious high quality selection. A Must!!! The Wahine singer on guitar and/or Ukulele was awesome!
Free valet parking for 2 hours at the front. Service was nice. We got there early so they were able to squeeze us in. The lobster was perfectly cooked, it was soft and had a nice chew. I wish oysters were a bit colder but can't really do anything about it since it's an indoor/outdoor restaurant. The desert was very pretty but not to my tasting. It was about $380 total for 2 people.

This review is for their sunday brunch buffet. Reservations are a must. I wasn't able to book it directly through their site but if you call in sometimes they have additional availability that isn't bookable online. There are so many options here. The best part for me is the poke bar. The fish is so fresh. Although i'd skip the oysters and crab legs as the crab legs were tooo salty and the oysters weren't very sweet. The lobster however was great! The view from the restaurant is of the pool so it could be a bit loud but aren't all buffets? Included with the dining is a parking validation for 4 hours. You can walk around the beach area after which is nice ! read more
The July 2026 version of La Hiki's lunch buffet was, sadly, a disappointing experience. At $135 per person, here's the good and the bad so you can decide for yourself if it's worth the splurge. The GOOD: unlimited steamed lobster, snow crab, fresh poke, oysters, decent service, and lovely live music. The BAD/AVERAGE: - We were told that some of their ceiling fans weren't working so it gets pretty hot if you're seated by the pool/live music area. Our table also rocked back and forth throughout the meal. It's starting to feel outdated. -There were flies around some of food -The prime rib was the driest/overcooked I've ever had at a buffet, and the lechon was mostly dry as well with some parts were hard crispy. -Compared to previous visits, there was no sashimi station or steamed dim sum, which was a huge disappointment, especially since they had already done away with the pan-grilled lobster. -For the cooked/hot dishes, there were egg foo yung, stir fried veggies, one chicken dish, one lamb dish, and noe pasta. Also were average taste, and just very limited options compared to other brunch/lunch buffets! -There was also a whole cooked fish sitting on the opposite side of the buffet, away from the seafood station, with no label at all. It was completely untouched the entire time we were there, which honestly said a lot. -The ramen bar is a cool concept, but the broths don't taste good and had odd topping choices. -The dessert selection felt limited, and the vanilla ice cream had a strange texture that fell apart instead of being creamy. What frustrates us the most is that the price continues to increase (3-4 times), yet nothing really stood out or added to justify it. If anything, it feels like there are fewer options than before. We've been coming here since the good old days too and it's apparent that it's not as amazing as before. The unlimited lobster is really the only thing that sets this buffet apart, and while I understand you won't find that at most other buffets, it's still hard to justify $135 per person for the overall experience we had. We won't be coming back. read more

Very good food and the service was amazing, as expected. Nice breezes and beautiful views of the ocean and the main pool. Prices are on par w other breakfast buffets on the island. Will be back! Juices are fresh pressed, forgot to add that! I got my money worth just on all the ginger juices I drank! Also, vegetarian friendly. read more

One of the best brunches! If you love seafood, this is your brunch. The oysters were phenomenal, shrimp, sashimi, poke and the meatiest snow crab legs. Even with all this, it doesn't hold a candle to the AYCE lobster tails. The Kalua Pig and all the hot food was phenomenal. Justin was our server and he took such great care of us and made us feel so welcome. It's all served open to the pool with live music. The brunch also includes beverages and so many juice options but the Hawaiian lilikoi (passion fruit) was the best! Reservations go quick. Enjoy! read more

I tried getting a reservation at La Hiki several times before, when La Hiki had first opened up, but it was difficult to get a Sunday Brunch reservation for this place. I remember when trying to call around last year summertime, and they told me that they didn't have any availability for the next few weeks out!!! So, at the end of January 2026, when I was home for a short period of time for my birthday I tried my luck in calling La Hiki and to my surprise, they had availability for the AYCE Sunday brunch!!!! This place is located in the beautiful Four Seasons Marriot in Ko' Olina. They offer free valet parking just as long as you get the validation from the restaurant, so that you don't have to find parking yourself, which makes for a better experience!!! The Four Seasons is a beautiful property location, showcasing the beauty and serene island vibe of the west side of Oahu. Now after watching views on TikTok, IG and Facebook, people were raving about the AYCE lechon, crab legs and lobster tails, so this place had sparked our interest to go out and try for some time, but like I said before - it was super difficult to try and get a reservation for this place. Anyway, after getting lucky and was me being able to make a reservation, I ended up taking my husband, mom and dad and aunt and uncle to eat here for their AYCE Sunday Brunch. There were a few more people that were not able to make it, but we made do with the people that were able to join us. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and were seated rather close to the buffet area, since we were with my parents, aunt and uncle. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. For the cost of the meal per person was around $150 per person and any party larger than 4, looks like they automatically added an 18% gratuity charge, so having 2 other couples eat brunch with my husband and I came to over $1,000. I do have to admit that the service was incredible but the food not so much. La Hiki kitchen boasts about all you can eat LECHON (roast pig), crab legs and lobster tail. I also saw posts on UBE inspired desserts, but they didn't have any the time that we had Sunday brunch, so I was a bit disappointed. They had a fair selection of island fruits and baked goods, but if I compare this to the AYCE Brunch at the Kahala Mandarin (Plumeria Beach House or Hoku's) La Hiki Kitchen loses the battle in terms of dessert selection and sea food. They had a fair amount of fresh poke and sushi, but not as much as the Plumeria Beach House or Hoku's in my opinion. My husband love fresh island poke and after trying the poke myself, it wasn't bad, but for the price point, I was expecting a bit more from La Hiki kitchen. The crab legs were served cold, which I wasn't expecting. They also had fresh oysters and an assortment of different sides that really didn't match the menu. It seemed to me like the menu was all over the place with the Filipino Lechon station, prime rib station, sea food station and like pasta, and I want to say they had like a Brazilian vegetable option, along with like a small area of dim sum. It almost seemed like they just threw a bunch of different dishes together that had no cohesion or togetherness to them, aside from just being thrown together for a HAWAIIAN STYLE AYCE BUFFET? Don't get me wrong, the service was impeccable and we did not have to ask for our plates to be cleared or a refill on drinks or anything. If there was one thing about the service I would say, was I felt that there was too many people tending to us, because every 5 to 10 minutes someone was asking if we wanted refills on drinks or taking things away. It got to a point where I had 3 refills delivered all at the same time to our table for just me LOL. It was the GINGER LEMONADE DRINK that La Hiki had on their menu. I think at one point, my husband had like 2 extra sets of silver left at the table for just him. It was nice to be attended to but I think it was over-board. We were constantly interrupted by our servers asking us if we were ok or if we needed refills. It's not a bad thing, but just something that I recall feeling like it was a bit over excessive. Now I love a good AYCE place, and the food was a high 6 low 7 on a scale of 0 to 10. The lechon was Filipino style but the skin was not crunchy, and the meat was super dry. I looked great on display, but it wasn't authentic. They didn't even offer MANG TOMAS or LECHON sauce with the roast pig. And when I tried to speak Tagalog to the person at the lechon/ prime rib station, he answered me back in English (with a strong Filipino accent). Nothing worse than someone who obviously speaks my native tongue and chooses to speak English even after I speak Tagalog. I give La Hiki a high 6 low 7 in a score from 0 to ten. Food was mee and overpriced for what was served. There was nothing memorable outside from the 2-limit half lobster tail that you had to ask for. Not a bad place but not my favorite. read more

La Hiki at the Four Seasons is a great place to unwind and enjoy a high-quality meal in a beautiful setting. I had the chirashi bowl, which was excellent--fresh, clean cuts of fish over perfectly seasoned rice. Simple, well-executed, and satisfying. The atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, with friendly, attentive service that made the whole experience feel special without being stuffy. read more

I've always wanted to try La Hiki after hearing so much about their breakfast/ brunch buffets. A special occasion came along and it was a perfect time to go. It's located at the Four Seasons hotel. Valet parking up to 3 hours is included so that was the way to go. This buffet is located down the stairs from the main lobby just off to the left. Make reservations to make things smoother. Staff were super friendly and seated is right away. The restaurant is bright and open. I went for the breakfast buffet and they had a lot of great choices. Standard breakfast options like bacon eggs and pasties. But then they included some great options like dim sum, mahi, frittatas and charcuterie. Lots of options. The eggs benedict was perfect. Drink options are available with your meal and juices/ coffee come with the buffet. Overall a good place for a special occasion. Great ambience and service. May be a little pricey for some people. read more
Best buffet in town, esp if you love seafood! I thought the 100 sails seafood buffet over at the Prince hotel was good but this blew my mind. AYCE lobster, oysters, prime rib, sashimi, poke, phenomenal desserts and other local delights in a beautiful setting that is the four seasons koolina, I felt so relaxed and happy while tasting the delicious dishes available. Their seafood was so fresh and the servers were very attentive. The cost is about $140 per person but it's well worth it for the quality of the food. We ordered a bottle of champers and also lilikoi/orange juice for us to make mimosas. Everything was fantastic, 5 stars and will come back again and again read more

A lovely place for a weekend brunch. Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and delicious food. I would prefer to have a full ocean view, but instead it is a pool view. They do not offer kama'aina discounts but free valet parking makes up for it. read more
Incredible! Enjoyed a business stay at the resort and indulged in the daily breakfast. If you come to this four seasons location you MUST ensure you are here for the Sunday Buffet. All you can eat seafood buffet!! All the crab, lobster, and poke is fresh catch. I would however skip the dim sum as it was clearly frozen and reheated. The must haves for buffet are the seafood options as well as the fresh fruit! The daily menu is fantastic as well, the avocado toast being my favorite! All and all, the prices are high, but thankfully we were able to receive a complimentary breakfast for each day we staid! read more
Our party of 5 made reservations at La Hiki for Sunday, 8/18/24, at 1:15p for a birthday lunch. We dropped off our cars at the valet desk at Four Seasons Resort at Ko'Olina and took the elevator down to the restaurant. Parking is free with validation at La Hiki. (3 hours) We were seated outside but, wanted to be in air conditioning so we got a table inside. We were happy since it was a hot day and it was cool inside. We got our water and headed to the buffet. There are all kinds of entrees, brunch items, salads, appetizers, and desserts to choose from. I decided to have some prime rib, roasted pork and skin, fish, and a bagel with lox and cream cheese, tomatoes, onions, and chives. I also got a platter of sushi, lobster, and several oysters, raw salmon, and ahi tuna as well. Everything was tasty. I especially liked the succulent and sweet lobster and butter as well as the chilled oysters. For my second serving, I got some more of the roast pork, oysters, and lobster along with sushi. For dessert I enjoyed a scoop each of the vanilla, chocolate, and Lilikoi ice creams. There were toppings galore but I enjoyed it plain. I also had a chocolate and banana smoothie as well as a guava juice. I also had a taste of the cookies and mini desserts. My fellow diners enjoyed the brunch items such as bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, smoothies, bagels. They also had some pasta, crab legs, jasmine rice, fish, just to name a few of the things. If you want a cocktail or beer you can order that separately from the buffet. The ambiance and service were excellent. The food was always being replenished constantly. They also play live music earlier in the day. They stopped playing around 1:30p. I will definitely return to have another meal at the La Hiki restaurant. read more

Celebrated our anniversary here. For the price you're paying for this buffet, it was okay. We had reservations for 1:30pm, but were able to get in a little earlier. They can do reservations via open table but all the days were booked out, and you can only book out I believe only 2 months in advance so I ended up calling and was able to get a reservations within 3 weeks. We were greeted from a very nice hostess, we were sat outside under the shade but no trade winds were coming in so it was super hot. Our waitress came to greet us in a timely manner and got us our water and we headed straight to the buffet. All the food was pretty much fresh, which is good, it's all you can eat. Literally had a ramen bar, which I haven't tried because it was just too hot outside. Nice view., the vibe of the restaurant was nice and pleasant. I do recommend if you're up for an all you can eat buffet, especially seafood which is worth the money. read more
Located in the Four Season Resort. Reservation made for 1:30. Arrived a bit early and was informed that they would call us when the table was ready. So 20 minutes passed and still no call. EVERYONE else that checked in after us were seated. After checking they said again we're preparing the table. By this time I'm upset. Not only did we have to wait, the hostesses were just rude. We were seated near the pool, which was less than ideal. Service was spotty. Don't know if they're short staffed but it was not super attentive. The AYCE buffet was ok. The prime rib carving station was good. So was the lobster, oysters, sashimi, shrimp and sushi was awesome. I'd skip the items in the chafing dishes due to items sitting. I did see flys on the charcuterie table so I skipped it. Stick to items that are prepared fresh or made to order. All in all food was good. Unfortunately for me the service was not great. At $115 per person I expect better. Being the Four Seasons I expect better. If food is your only draw and service doesn't matter go for it. I need the whole package if I'm dropping $115. read more
The food was like any other expensive buffet however the service was EXCEPTIONAL. What I've noticed is they were consistently after every plate changing out our forks and knives, offering more tea, hot water, or napkins as needed. We ordered a few drinks, I had the guava and lilikoi (was very guava flavored but I didn't have much taste of the lilikoi). The selection was great, ranges from the charcuterie boards, to the salad and miso soup, breads, etc. The lobster station was the main stage, they were warm, tender and delicious! The prime rib was on the dryer side but the porchetta was cooked perfected, tender meat with crispy skins, stuffed with their garlic and house made sausage. It was outdoors, open air, and great lighting make it a very brunch and relaxing vibe. Felt like luxury away from home. Definitely an experience fitted for a celebration! Truly one of the best buffet experiences ever on the island! Worth the trip across the island! read more
We weren't staying in the area, but wanted to check out the lagoons, so planned a lunch in the area. La Hiki at the Four Seasons did not disappoint. I loved the aesthetic there, and the cocktails were fantastic. The sunburn seemed a bit pricey at first, but it was worth every penny. Bring lots of pennies. :) They provide free valet for diners, but we actually scored a free city spot nearby. read more

4.5 stars. We stayed at Aulani for our little toddler but came here whenever possible for lunch. One of the best places. Can just waltz in and get serviced right away. Poke bowl and lobster roll are both solid. Lobster roll is more shredded lobster than lobster chunks but still delicious. Get a bigger bowl for the salad side so you can mix in the salad dressing. Love the farm to table greens here. Ice coffee and fantastic espresso drinks. Much better than Aulani. Slip the Buddha bowl. The egg was more poached and made the rest of the dish more watery. Nori wrapped ahi, grilled steak, and tacos also looked good on the menu. Don't recommend the mocktail here - too sweet. read more
This is worth the cost only if you love shellfish. If not, don't bother. The best was the lobster tails since they were freshly steamed and continuously consumed. I wish they would season the crab legs in cajun garlic butter served hot. Cold, it was ok but not great. The cajun garlic butter seasoning would bump it up 6 levels. So scrumptious. Oysters were fresh off the shell with variety of sauces to your liking. The whole cooked mahi was placed far away from the other seafood. Odd location next to dim sum. Probably why it was overdone. Really a shame. They have a fresh made omelet station (lobster pickup counter is left of this station) . On the right is the ramen station with all types of fixings. They also had miso soup and congee jook (rice soup) which was tasty. The dim sum was basic premade reheated type. Pork hash, steamed soup dumplings, mini buns. Not great, just ok. I usually love dim sum. I'm spoiled from excellence (Really miss Char Hung Sut dim sum), if you're knowledgeable about them you'd know what I mean. The crispy whole roast pig was great since I'm all for that crispy skin. See video. Yum . Prime rib was nice. I thought it needed more punch in the outside seasoning. That's always the best part in my book. The "Kalbi chicken" was disappointing and dry too from sitting. Not a popular item. Seriously, beef kalbi would have been a much better choice. Kim chee fried rice, egg fu young, garlic medium shrimp, different variations of eggs benedict, choi sum stir fry, kalbi chicken, char siu pork were all the hot dish choices. There were cheese blintzes with your choice of toppings. Also three types of tiny smoothies. Pineapple mix, berry mix and green smoothie. Green was the tastiest. Pineapple was ok and berry was sour. Mix all 3 together and it was delicious. Deserts (see video) were attractive and pretty good. Two failed the test: The butter mochi and pound cake was pretty dry, not it's moist buttery or chewy goodness. Probably because they were mini versions cooked like mini cupcakes. Our favorite was the ube crinkle cookies. These were moist & delicious. I'll have to perfect a recipe to duplicate them. Yummy. All the other deserts were good to ok. I tasted a bit of nearly everything so I could honestly review them. Mostly, I ate lobster tails, crab, oysters & ube crinkle cookies. Service was ok considering it's a buffet. Not consistent service but reasonable. The view left a lot to be desired. We were a party of 8, yet we were sat at two separate tables for 4? It was inconvenient since we had family visiting from out of town and we all weren't sitting together to chit chat as planned. Plus we were next to the trash collection station which was really unpleasant. This was with reservations too. So overall, it's ok but not worth $115 per person unless all you eat are lobsters (which I did) but all else combined, rated fair. The hotel itself is very plain, green vegetation and basic white walls. It's all green foliage everywhere with no exotic color, no use of Haleconia or any beautiful Hawaiian orchids or flora in their gardens. So sad when it's naturally in abundance. At least some hibiscus would be nice. See video. Truly, over rated. read more

A few weeks, I came here with my husband for Sunday brunch. I had tried to make reservations for my birthday in May, but this reservation at the end of September was the earliest available date open! So if you plan to come at here for the Sunday brunch then book in advance. The food was delicious- prime rib, usual brunch items like an omelette station, eggs Benedict ( Kalua pig Benedict when we were there), bagels/toast, dim sum, and seafood galore! This is a seafood lovers dream... all you can eat crab, lobster tails, shrimp cocktail, oysters, etc. The dessert items were also pretty good. The best part of dessert was the ice cream bar! The brunch buffet is definitely the most I've ever paid for a brunch buffet in Hawaii, so it it a splurge. The service was okay. We often had to get our sever's attention to refill our water or iced tea. It wasn't like it was too busy and yet the service was lacking. I was a little disappointed with the service since it is a brunch at a Four Season hotel. Happy brunching! read more
(Note this review is only re: the Sundays-only all-you-can-eat buffet at La Hiki.) 3.5 rounded to 4, only because of service which was surprisingly friendly/pleasant for what could have been a cattle call standard given the buffet situation. First, be sure to book in advance and note it's just SUNDAYS they run the buffet if that's what you're interested in. I made the mistake of booking Saturday but the hostess who answered the phone when confirming was able to make an exception and update for Sunday but only because of my admitted error and how I was already in the system. $115/adult, $50/keiki (children). Verdict: at the end of the day even if it's at the Four Seasons it's a a buffet so come with managed expectations. They do a good job of seating people in waves- ours was later, at 1:45pm and they did last calls just prior to the 3pm mark. The restaurant faces the pool so you see all the 'action' happening and there was a solo guitar performer until about 2pm. Definitely a solid seafood offering- obviously the most popular part of the buffet so the wait time in line varied, though manageable. Staff kept all stations in good condition and refreshed when needed. Seafood overall was good quality. Lobster tails were available but you had to request from the back (near the made-to-order ramen station). Sliced prime rib was next to porchetta (via a full pig display), but I'll be honest- tough to the taste and therefore not appetizing. So, I spent most of my stomach on seafood selections and a few others sides including a small bowl of (decent) ramen. Desserts were ok- very "I got this in bulk at Costco." Sundaes were yummy- all the toppings helped. Overall a good 'cross off the bucket list' experience and to explore the grounds a bit since valet is complimentary but this was not necessarily something I felt so good I'd see myself returning. read more
