    We were a party of five and they set us right next to a large party of women who were incredibly loud and had an infant with them. There were plenty of tables that could hold us at the opposite of the dining room. There also was not enough room between tables to get up and down and since it's a buffet, it was important to be able to get up and down. I had to request additional pastries be put out as the plate was empty. We had to request refills of our mimosas, and the waiter made a big deal out of our orders from the Grill and asking who was who's instead of us just handing them all in a stack.
