Always a long wait at this average-tasting, above average priced restaurant. They hire young people with no restaurant experience as hostesses, who seem very poor at customer service. Avoid this over-rated restaurant on weekends and at dinnertime. Update: the lunch buffet was pretty good, so I increased my rating 1 star. However, expect there to be a HIGH probability of a fairly long wait unless you come at an odd time that people don't normally choose to eat at. This place is always busy at mealtimes, not because the food is amazing, but because there aren't a lot of choices way out in Burnsville. The food quality at this restaurant deserves more than 2 stars, however this restaurant has forced me to wait so long on many, many occasions that I cannot give a higher score. I also tried one time to bring my mother here on Mother's day and was told since I did not have a reservation, I would never be seated and must leave. I asked if I could wait, and I was told "no," because no one without a reservation would ever be seated.
