    Julie is an awesome bartender. She handled the long lines well and the drinks were made pretty fair. The food was meh. More sides could of been made for the meal overall. The ambiance was great. Great choice for a family reunion. Whenever I visit Cleveland again I will definitely take this boat ride.

    Waiting for my boarding time.

    Dinner on the Lady Caroline. Plus a Royal Caribbean Travel Agent event Our hostess Kathy Vesely Killen BDM for RCC invited us. myself and a few coworkers from AAA Travel Agency.. So classy, the ship had engine trouble and we never left the dock. Better to be stuck here then out in the lake. She asked us to stay have dinner and we'll do over another time. She gave a presentation on the new ships for Royal Caribbean Cruise she has been out business manager for years. If interested in a 3-4 day fun cruise call me! Overall the servers did well seeing the ship never left dock. Our Hostess was amazing. The food was ok- banquet food, our problem was tables in order to get you own dish by 1-20 and we were at Table 19. Beautiful evening thanks to the Cleveland skyline.....at the dock :)

    We had a wonderful dinner cruise on the Lady Caroline!! The staff were very friendly and service was excellent. The food and drinks were delicious! Views of the city and sunset were beautiful and we had a lot of fun dancing. The upper deck had a very nice breeze and gorgeous views! Highly recommend the Lady Caroline!!

    Lady Caroline has replaced the Nautica Queen that is retired. It's spacious. Four floors are used for large group entertainment. We went with a large group. First floor is walk in, and has tables and a baby grand piano. Second floor was dining. Very nice heavy hors-d'oeruvres were dinner. Specially drinks were delicious. Service was excellent. Third floor was a large dance floor with seating, and a bar. Fourth floor was the open top with spectacular views of the city. Our cruise on Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River was about two hours, and docked for an hour. We were there from 5-8 p.m. I would go again.

    Salad first with only one type of dressing. Balsamic. Buffet offered: green beans with carrots-Al dente. Mashed potatoes with chives, chicken breast, meat loaf, crab cakes and rolls also pound cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Very pleasant. Waitress needed to be friendly but other waitresses assisted where she fell short. DJ was good. Atmosphere was noisy until guests went to dance. Not a bad lunch affair. Caterer could work on flavors though!

    This was so great! Our server was so nice and fun and the dj made a point to mention our anniversary. They accommodated my husbands vegan meal and he said it was amazing. The dancing was fun. It was by no means a packed dance floor but hey, it is what you make it. The view was so cool! We saw a lightning storm in the distance on Lake Erie.

    Go for the views!! We had perfect weather. Sun was out. Low 80's and light wind. Service was excellent. Drinks were flowing. Food was average hence the three stars. It was a bit confusing on the "masks". When we were boarding we were given a mask. Told to wear it when walking around the ship and up at the buffet. This was not enforced and it was maybe 25% followed the instructions. We did ask and were told "nah you don't have to wear your mask". Would recommend when you have out of town guests.

    Had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating 34th anniversary. The wait staff was wonderful the buffet was delicious and of course the views of the Cuyahoga River were breathtaking. My bride and I had a wonderful time. Only suggestion- update the ceiling tiles and power wash the exterior. Nevertheless, I give the cruise experience five stars.

    We had a great time. The food was good and the service was good. It's a buffet style and you get your own food. The waiters were very helpful and help you get your food to the table with if you need. We had a baby with us and it was very hard to get around. Having a stroller was a nightmare. They didn't have anywhere we're kids could sit except for a booster seat which is not suitable for a 9 month old. The booster seat also doesn't have a seatbelt so it was just a big no. They call your tables one at a time and being the first few tables made it so much better. Since we had a baby with us, we had to wait in the line again. It's definitely not wheelchair accessible or stroller accessible. They don't allow strollers on the top deck. Point being, this is not kid friendly. If you are without kids, it's perfect and super enjoyable. Best time to go is weekdays or Friday morning.

    Buffet dinner had lots of options. Not shown: shrimp cocktail & fish

    We had a fantastic night out on Lady Caroline! We took a High school women's soccer team and parents in a big group dinner harbor cruise. It was so much fun! The boat was clean, nice, and big. Staff was friendly and fun. The views were fantastic. The amount of time on the water was perfect. Food was great. We had the best time! We highly recommend it!

    This is what I paid for a miserable cruise, which should have been enjoyable.

    First of all, the boat/ship was extremely Hot and intolerable. I asked for accommodation if a fan was available and was told no. Furthermore my table and guest were seated next to the engine room vent, which was giving off more heat. The waitress that had our table looked tired from all the running around that she forgot to bring beverage orders to the table. The food was tasteless, bland and dry. I was bothered by the fact that the menu was short and limited with 1 or 2 options available for vegan diets. I walked around to access just how hot the ship was and the 1st floor which primarily had senior citizens. Everybody was fanning themselves with the menu. The second floor had air completely and the 3rd level was humid with the windows open. Why introduce a new ship that is sub-standard to the Nautica. Nautica was way better, services were great, food was good with many options, even for vegans. The price does not equate to the level of service and quality that was given. I am very disappointed with cruise and just want anyone else deciding to take this cruise to please be aware. If this is considered an upgrade to the Nautica, then everyone run. One concerning thing, I noticed is that I never saw any AED station on the walls on each floor. For the hundreds of dollars I just spent on this floppy cruise is disturbing, unacceptable, and poses a safety issue due to the temperatures, lazi fair attitudes of service staff. Refunding me on half of this cruise would be the courtesy thing to do, to make this right.

    We took an afternoon brunch cruise, and it was very enjoyable. When we arrived at the boat we were greeted by a friendly hostess that escorted us to our table. We were informed that we would be sitting with another couple while enjoying the cruise. Downside of our seats were that we were next to the restroom. Up side to our seats was that we got to go through the buffet line first....less hands touching our food, lol! The food was pretty decent. There were numerous pastries to choose from along with a salad bar, fruits, meats, breads, and delicious macaroni and cheese. I mean, it is buffet food on a boat in Lake Erie, so I wouldn't expect a Michelin Star level restaurant, but overall it was good. I've heard that the brunch cruise is the best for a meal. Not too many people I spoke to enjoyed the dinner. After we ate we headed up to the top deck to take in the views. It was an overcast day, but there was still plenty to see. One recommendation I have is to get upstairs as soon as you are finished eating to secure a seat. Pretty much everyone on the boat heads up to the top, so it is difficult to find a seat if you wait too long. This cruise gives you a unique view of the city-scape that most people don't get. Take it in and enjoy yourself!

    Looking to have a bridal shower on Lady Caroline....wondering if it will be rushed ? Looking for guests to have a nice meal, opening gifts and socializing with some light music.

    The cruise lasts 2-3 hours. Plenty of time to socialize. During my time at Lady Caroline there were only not so good concessions, it might be different during daytime cruises. Hope this helps

The outside is dated, sure, but step inside and it's immediately clear this place has been doing things right for a reason. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms, and they were the right call; rich, well-stuffed, and a strong opening act. The French onion soup, while flavorful, ran a little salty for our taste, so consider yourself warned if that's your go-to dish. The salad was fresh and came out crisp, clean, no complaints. On the steak front, the ribeye and porterhouse are the real stars here. Both were cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and reminded us why we came to a steakhouse in the first place. The food is the draw, and at these prices, the value-to-quality ratio is hard to beat anywhere in the area. And then there's Marissa. Her service alone is worth the trip; attentive, warm, and the kind of server who makes a good meal feel like a great experience. Ask for her section. We'll be back.

You get access to a wide variety of quality food. There are not a lot of buffets in the area these days. By default, this buffet is, therefore, one of the best buffets in the area. It wasn't very busy and we got through the non-member line quickly. We were excorted to a table and then we went to the buffet. The buffet is long, so it's a little walk to get from one end to the other. The food all looked good. We skipped the Mexican and salad sections. There was a tasty looking hamburger buffet, but I skipped that too. The pizza looked good as well, but since my life is full of pizza, I skipped that section as well. Finally, I saw the stuff I like - veggies, pasta, and meat. I didn't get any fried chicken, but I loaded up on pasta and various sauteed veggies like green beans, sweet potatoes, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. When I returned to the table, our drinks still were not delivered, but they arrived within a few minutes. The veggies were delicious, but the brocollini was a little tough. The mashed potatoes were awesome. I loved the veggies. On my second trip, I got some more veggies and mac n cheese. I didn't want to over eat, so I kept it to two plates. On Wednesdays or Thursdays, I will definitely be making a visit to this buffet because it is so much better than some of the other food in the area and in some cases, cheaper. Take for example, two summer rolls, a glass of water, and some noodles and veggies is $24 at a nearby restaurant. While this meal is tasty, it's not a good value. At yet another nearby food stand, I can get a bottle of water, veggies, meat, and noodles with sauce for $7 - a great value. But one can only dine at the same establishment so many times when the menu is limited. I'll be back, Jack!

Located in a shopping plaza on Mentor Blvd. you will find a clean, well organized and well stocked buffet. The decor is modern and fairly generic, seating is comfortable and the restaurant is large with several seating areas. As with most buffets you pay as you enter, prices are somewhat reasonable given the way inflation has gone. Once seated you have your choice of the serving stations. Up first is the salad area which is well stocked and includes fresh fruit, boiled shrimp, mussels and artificial crab salad. The salad station also has plenty of dressing and sauces. There is also a soup station with 3 or 4 soups, unfortunately they do not have shrimp chips which I always think is a bonus. There are several buffet stations of hot foods, mainly Chinese with a small selection of American standards. For me I usually get some rice noodles, lo mein or fried rice and then stock up on the shrimp, clams, mussels and the baked artificial crab. Overall the food is fresh and they do a good job of keeping things stocked. Where Fuji comes up a little short for me is that the flavors are a bit muted; the food is under seasoned for me. I usually to use quite a bit of the spicy oil from the salad bar to add some flavor. The sushi station is ok, they make the sushi fresh, but it is only maki rolls and the selection is about 5 or 6 varieties at lunch. Most of the sushi is made with either the crab sticks or shrimp, no fresh fish. Next to the sushi station is the grill station where you pick the raw ingredients and then have the chef cook them. Obviously this food is cooked fresh, although once again I find the sauces to be a bit under seasoned. Once you are ready for dessert there is a pastry section and a scoop your own ice cream. All of this is sweet and pretty good, but nothing really great. Overall Fuji Buffet provides decent food, there is a good variety and you should be able to fill up as much as you want. For me the flavors could be better, not bad just a bit muted. Of course your mileage may vary.
