Wasn't overly impressed, the food was good but the service and ambiance wasn't up to par. Based on the price of the food, I was expecting more. Didn't see our server very much, it took a while to get our order, I asked for a dipping sauce for our appetizer which arrived long after the appetizer was finished, also she never checked on us after we were served. The bar was not in great shape, had allot of clutter and the bar tender seemed to be stretched thin and struggling to keep up with service.

Totally unsatisfactory dining experience. It was disorganized, terrible experience I had. We paid $192.00 each for the following: 1, The hostess did not note our reservation correctly. She went ahead and seated us, but our waiter called the hostess over to the table to prove we had paid. Ened up I had two wriskband. 2,A party of people unknown to us was seated at our table by the host. 3,When we requested hot water, we were told to get it ourselves. We were also told that there would be no hot water after 11:00 p.m. 4,There was few lipstick mark on the "clean" coffee cup. 5,Buffet $80 (official website) COVID or not, we expect a lot more consideration for close to $400.00.

Had a really nice Thanksgiving dinner there with my family. Although they were packed, the service was spot on and they kept the buffet dishes filled. Really enjoyable atmosphere. Parking was a little hard to find though. Here's a Tip: there is a company parking lot a couple of block behind MacPrk that used to be a post office in a 50's style building with a flagpole in front. After 5 it's ok to park there. They had a great dessert bar and the pic is of a couple of the ones we enjoyed.
