    Grand Entrance to the buffet hall

    We are back to this restaurant in search of take out party tray menu. The prices for party tray menu items are very reasonable compared to pre-Covid menu prices. We will be ordering them tomorrow & review will be continued until then.

    Gelato station.

    Yikes. Where do I begin? First of all, I love buffets. My go to places closed down. Among those, my favorite in the area was Tropical. I didn't even mind Gold Medal as well. Both are closed, unfortunately. Vegas Seafood Buffet is the best but their prices went up a lot and further away. So I found this thanks to Yelp. The highlight is definitely their dessert section and Gelato station. None of the mentioned buffets have Gelato. They have self serve ice cream, which aren't bad but Gelato is definitely better. Why the 2 stars? Everything tasted off. It looked the same as Tropical but very subpar. I didn't enjoy anything except the dessert section. Yelp let me down this time. Back to the drawing board. Gotta find another.

    Plate #1 a bit of a lot: corn, coconut shrimp, bbq pork, grilled chicken, Bok choy, rice, mushrooms, green beans and hot and sour soup.

    Food was fresh. Our table was continuously checked on for any needs or to take empty plates away. Ambiance was buffet style, people in and out of their table to get some more Yummerz !

    Food was average for the price. If you want a drink refill you have to always ask. They will never just refill your empty cup.

    Went for dinner and dessert at 7pm on Wednesday and it was packed. Couples, families, singles…read more Plenty of servers on duty and the service was excellent! Nolan was our server and he was on it. Wasn't obnoxious about giving good service but on top of it. Got our orders right, was accommodating. I love the ambience. Not California dining with bright lights and high noise level. Old time sexy ambience where you think the couple in the next booth might be having an affair. I'm on the west end of Simi so I forget about Sutter's. I'll make more of an effort however. Cherry cobbler excellent.

    Steakhouse Prices, Worse Than Cafeteria Food…read more Spider webs on the dining room lamps and food stains on our tablecloth were the first things I noticed during our first visit. Not exactly the first impression you'd expect from a steakhouse restaurant. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms appetizer. It arrived with plates but no silverware. We waited several minutes assuming our server would return with utensils, but she never did. We had to flag her down and ask for them. I also ordered a glass of wine that never arrived. The restaurant was slow, and by the time our entrées were served, I was still waiting. When we reminded our server, she just said "oh the wine yes!" She completely forgot! The food was even more disappointing than the service. The loaded mashed potatoes tasted extremely sour, no cheese, just shredded raw onions and sour cream with burnt top. How can you call this loaded baked potato? The mac and cheese was dry, bland, and lacked any real cheese flavor. Even the green beans had to a burnt pieces mixed in.None of the sides were at edible level. The steak was the only thing on my plate thats tolerable and even that left my stomach uncomfortable after my meal. The biggest disappointment was the food. For steakhouse prices, we were served loaded potatoes overwhelmed by raw onion, mac and cheese that tasted like cardboard, burnt green beans, and an average steak. The service and cleanliness issues only added to the frustration. We usually dine at Larsen's but decided to try support local businesses. After this experience, we'll be sticking with Larsen's. This will be our first and last visit.

The little bowl of ginger they serve had a long hair in it. They replaced it quickly but it was gross. Then we ordered our sushi and my husband prefers cooked while I prefer raw. The cooked sushi all came out meanwhile I waited for my poke sushi. Finally I asked and the woman said she forgot. So by the time my sushi came my husband was done. It was annoying bc if he waited his would've gotten cold and then he waited around for me after. It wasn't very busy at all it was 2pm on a week day so I wonder how they do on busy days. The sushi itself was so tasty. The blue crab with crispy rice was delicious. The poke sushi was wonderful. And the fantasy roll was also great. We had another roll but I forgot the name. Definitely will be back for the sushi alone:

Whether or not the staff approved, is hard to say. While we were checked on regularly, and glasses refilled a couple of times, there was a sense of, 'ok, you've paid, move along', even though the entire time we were there the steady stream was to-go orders and only 2 other tables out of 10? 15? ever had occupants. That aside, we ordered our dishes and they were delicious. If we were more focused on eating, instead of conversing, we would have finished them easily. I tried the chicken curry, mild, and it had just enough "kick" to satisfy. My friend had the Chana Masala, also mild, and said that and the naan were very good. I understand the real draw here is the lunch buffet, which my friend really enjoys. Apparently, that was the first time I was here, but I don't remember over a year ago and no dishes posted then. I must have devoured everything too fast! They close for a bit after they finish the lunch buffet and on a Friday night they reopened for dinner at 5pm, so be sure to check hours before making plans. The decor is quite nice and has a soft ambiance. The young lady taking care of us was polite and efficient. I'm sure the next time I'll be back for the buffet and def get more pics. Cheers! "CC"
