We made reservations to celebrate my twin son s 30th birthday for brunch on 12/17, because one of my son s wanted prime rib which I was told by the person taking our reservation was included in the buffet menu. It was the most horrible meal we v ever encountered. I preordered the salmon eggs Benedict & my sons ordered regular eggs Benedict & we went to get food from the buffet while we waited. It took at least 45 minutes to receive the pre-breakfast order. The eggs were stone cold, congealed & hard. In fact the whole buffet was stone cold & not delectable. There was no server at the prime rib table & the prime rib was a cold small slab of meat, nor a server at the pasta bar. The only thing that was warm was the conventional Mexican food which we could get anywhere & did not go for. The only thing that flowed freely was the champagne. I spent over $250 for a substandard meal. I didn t complain because I didn t want to ruin the Birthday moment. One son & girlfriend drove from Los Angeles the other son from Santa Barbara & we came from Redlands. This used to be a great restaurant, better management & pride are needed again. I intend to call management & convey my disappointment. But don t go here expecting a special buffet , we should have gone to The Mission Inn buffet for about the same cost, or if you want Mexican Buffet spend your money at El Torrito or Las Fuentes for a much more delicious & economical meal.
