Reservation one week ahead of Silver anniversary. Came on time (even early), dressed to the nines. Seated by server station and big table for boisterous company Christmas party. Waited half hour for appetizer, drinking our watered mai tais. Appetizer was good: six crab-stuffed mushrooms, $1.50 each. Stood twenty minutes for salad bar. Mediocre salad, worse soup. Prime rib not cooked to specifications, baked potato not offered. Ambience good if you enjoy watching harried servers hustle around, stopping often to bicker. Don't get too attached to any one waiter; we got shuffled between three. Dessert tray had several different cheesecakes; the one chocolate thing was a vanishingly small serving of torte. We bypassed that, and said ""cheque, please"". First water refill came while we waited twenty minutes or so for that cheque. What the cheque lacked in immediacy it more than made up for in size.
Pros: good parking, nice river view, menu uses large font
Cons: don't care attitude, lousy drinks, mediocre food
