This place was just AWFUL. My husband and I chose what they call 'The Feast' which is their all you can eat option.
1. They bring you Pao de Queso (Cheese Bread). Our was cold and hard. 2. Then they bring you pasta covered in three different sauces; garlic, marinara, and mushroom. Again, we got cold pasta. Also, I am pretty sure they use some kind of canned pasta sauces. I could have made a tastier pasta at home for under $5. 3. Then they bring out the chicken, beef, and lamb, along with salad and fried polenta. They polenta was OK, but the chicken was bland. Also, although I like meat cooked medium rare, my husband doesn't. They did not even ask him how he would like his meat cooked! 4. We tried to use a gift certificate from Restaurant.com and they put up a big stink about it. Instead of letting us pay with our debit card which in this day and age is the only way people pay for things... they made my husband leave the restaurant and drive to an ATM to get them cash while I sat alone at our table and waited.
Overall, this was a horrible experience for the price. Even with the gift certificate the price was outrageous for the service and quality of food that we received. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE, GO TO A REAL RESTAURANT!!!
* They did have a live band which was OK.

This is the best deal I have had ever, for 29.95 all you can eat is an unbelievable deal as mentioned on "Check Please" if you think this is pricey for the quality,service,ambience and entertainment than I do not know where you can find a better deal. What I really liked is that they have an ala carte menu and lots of great specials from seafood to steaks priced very reasonably and delicious, also they have a nice wine list with great prices. If you are looking for a place to dine and get a good value for your money try this palce you will not be dissapointed.

The food is totally nothing special. First they feed you with bread and pasta to get you a feeling you're full and then bring meat and salad. Salad is just a bunch of leaves and two tiniest timatoes, meat and chicken are dry and not marinated enough to give it some taste. Chicken tasted like it was just microwaved. Would never eat this "all-you-can eat" set - one would not eat much - it is not delicious/tasty much. Would say - overpriced for this type of quality. Will try going back to taste something from menu, but now we do not have too much of hope left. Bottomline: too pricey for a regular dinner of this quality, absolutely nothing special to go from far away to taste.

YUM ! My only disappointment was the pasta. All 3 were delicious, but not as described on menu. Was looking forward to the mushroom with demi glace, but it was not served...neither was the marinara. Substitutions were traditional pesto and an alfredo type sauce.
