Brutal reservation system. Nobody to talk to, unless you are advertising ($$$). Website says reservations start at 4:30pm yet apparently they don't open till 5:30pm. Admin, please update your website and post your real hours.

The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly and attentive to people's needs. We were there for stars on ice and got seated right away..

Nice seats and view of the game. Consistently mediocre food with patchy service. Dishes are alright but missing flavour and vibrancy. This place could be a real winner but the buffet style catering is really lacking.

Cold boring food, not worth the money. Prime Rib was beyond overdone (grey), boxed desserts, gross Chinese food. Decent salads and shrimp. However the service was fast and attentive. Save your money and go elsewhere. Will not return.

Absolutely disgusted with this place. Worst restaurant I’ve been to in a very long time. There was little to NO service and the food was awful. $35 a plate for cold and horribly made food in a buffet style. The waitress ignored our table the entire time and when we said we didn’t want drinks just water, after about 10 minutes she brought a drink we didn’t ask for and charged us for it. It was so bad we had to stand at the FRONT ENTRANCE and wait for someone to come so we could pay the bill of $85 for two disgusting plates of food that we sent away almost untouched and a drink we didn’t order. Awful place. Do not recommend wasting money on this establishment.

The buffet was cold or non-existent for certain dishes. Even the dessert area was sparse and what was left all tasted the same, bordering on sugar cubes for taste and variety. The service was not friendly and served either no drinks or ones we never ordered. Overall, I had much higher expectations of this as a restaurant than what we experienced. I will not use again in the future and would not recommend you waste your money on this food venue.

Stayed in a suite for the hockey game ordered front the restaurant as buffet was very limited and. I we were yelled at by the server. The manager then made false accusations toward myself. I am seriously offended a probably will never go to a game again. Just astounded at the way we were treated after we spend over 500 dollars each game. Also was served RAW wings after my kids had a bite the Manger tells me they will be fine like it's no big deal!!!

I was a lottle disappointed with thus resraurant after hearing good things about it. When I went there was little selection in the buffet. There were a couple of vegetables, one rice dish, and fish or chicken. The food quality was only OK compared to other buffets. Not a terrible dinner, but nothing spectacular. Perhaps the quality of the buffet depends on the magnatude of the show at the arena that night.

There was no roast left and the game haven t even started yet, also they ran out of a bunch of desert before the first period was over don t know what I was supposed to except but this was the worst buffet experience of my whole life. Horible service and not enough food

Not necessarily the most choices of items, but what they do provide is very good. Its worth the trip to eat here prior to a game rather than the arena concession food.
