She had to google how to make drinks, she never asked if we wanted another drink or anything. I paid with card, an closed the tab twice, but she charged me two different prices for the same drink so it was kind of weird to me. And the second time it took almost 20 minutes to even get my card back. Idk, i felt like she was choosing who she wanted to talk to and help. Despite it being empty in there. People were nice in there and it was clean so that's good. The drinks weren't that great but it is what it is. I hope she gets better at bartending.

Jamul 33 is hands down the best buffet I've ever been to…read more We were fortunate enough to visit with a family friend who was able to bring guests on a weekday, and I'm still thinking about this experience. The buffet is located downstairs in the hotel lobby area, and from the moment we walked in, everything felt clean, elegant, and well organized. I also appreciated that it was adults only, which created a more relaxed atmosphere. The seafood selection was incredible. They had king crab, Dungeness crab, snow crab, steamed lobster tails, and Puerto Nuevo-style lobster tails. There was also prime rib, large shrimp, fish, oysters, clams, and more. What impressed me most was that everything was fresh, well stocked, and impeccably maintained. There were no restrictions on seafood and no special "crab night" or "lobster night"--it was all available during our visit. For seafood lovers, this place is heaven. Even if seafood isn't your thing, there are plenty of other options. During our Monday visit, they had chicken dishes and Filipino favorites like pork lumpia and pancit, along with a variety of other Asian-inspired offerings. The salad selection was excellent as well. The dessert station was simple but very well done. Highlights included chocolate-covered strawberries, macarons, carrot cake, tiramisu, and my personal favorite--the small chocolate-filled donuts. A special shoutout to our server, Panya, who provided outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this was an amazing dining experience. The quality, freshness, variety, and service were all exceptional. I may have a hard time enjoying other buffets now because I'll definitely be comparing them to Jamul 33.

THE SERVICE: I called a few days ahead to make a Sunday…read morebrunch reservation for a party of four for the lobster buffet. I was told that reservations, were not necessary since it was first come, first served. Knowing how busy Sundays can get, I intentionally arrived early, around 9:30 am, only to be told by the hostess that I actually needed a reservation. After explaining that I had called ahead, to make one, she said there was nothing she could do. Instead, she directed us to the nearby counter and suggested we wait to see if seats opened up. At one point, two seats opened up together and one was available at the other side of the bar. Since we were celebrating a birthday with a party of four, we took about two minutes to decide whether it was worth splitting up while waiting for a fourth seat to open. During that time, the server rushes us and came across as extremely rude. Mind you, I already had my card in hand because you have to pay upfront. Before we have even made a decision, she took my card and charged me for two people. I told her I wasn't ready to pay because we hadn't decided yet, and the gesture left a sour taste. I ended up having her cancel the charge. Disappointed, we went back to the hostess to ask if there were any other restaurants on the property open that early. She answered our question but then offered to see if she could seat us at the buffet after all. By this point, it was around 10:15am. She asked us to wait another 30 minutes, and said we might be able to get a table. We waited. We were finally seated around 11:20 am. Luckily, the mimosas from the bar held us over. What surprised me most was seeing so many empty tables around us. There seemed to be plenty of servers working the buffet, yet several tables remained empty, which left me wondering why the way was so long. THE FOOD: I came for one reason: the lobster. It did not disappoint. They had both Baja lobster and regular lobster, along with several types of crab legs and fresh oysters. At $59, the buffet was definitely worth it. The chilaquiles were decent , although the dessert selection left much to be desired. Aside from the confusing runaround and long wait, the food was good and the buffet was cleaned and maintained. Maybe they were just having an off day. I'd be willing to give them another try and will gladly update my review if they experience is different next time.
