We came to the Tuscany Ballroom for the annual lobster festival. It's located on the second floor of the Tuscany towers at the Peppermill. We were invited about a month in advance for two free nights and a pair of tix to the festival.
We took advantage of this offer and decided to take my mom. Although the dinner didn't start until six pm, we were told to check in at four pm because the lines get long. I did what I was told and saw that the line at four was about fifty people long. It took about fifteen minutes to check in. By the time I checked in, there was well over a hundred people in line. I found out later a Yelp friend was in line, we joked that if he texted me sooner, he could've checked in with us!
Once inside, we were amazed at how grand this ballroom is! It was decorated in a holiday theme with a live band playing songs from the 60's and 70's. They were great! Each table was set with place settings and service for ten guests per table.
Once we sat, we proceeded to the buffet line. Each guest is allowed two lobster tails each. The tails were about 4-6 ounces each. My first lobster was delicious but the second was overcooked and the servers on hand were quick to replace it with a new one. With lobster tails, claws, fried chicken, barbecue pork loin, sides of every kind, desserts and an open host bar. I could see why they charge $90 per ticket for anyone who wants extra tickets. All of the staff and servers were very efficient and courteous. They did a phenomenal job of serving and bussing tables all night long.
We estimated that there must've been over fifteen hundred people in attendance. This was a fantastic event and can't wait to go to the other events that the Peppermill puts on for their guests! Thank you Peppermill for a fantastic weekend! read more
