"We went for the Mothers Day Brunch. Food was very good like always. Atmosphere was great. Service was great. Wish the food was labeled so you knew what everything was going through the buffet line. And also the Salad Dressing was not anywhere that we could find for the salads. So the salads were just plain with no dressing available which was a bit odd. And there was not enough serving spoons for each side of the buffet for some of the dishes. So both sides in the line could not grab food at the same time which sometimes held up the lines. Also salt and pepper shakers were not made available or on any of the tables for some reason. It was a bit frustrating that the drinks were not included in the price of the buffet. When it’s already pretty spendy, paying an additional 3.59 per person for a glass of soda is outrageous. Also didn’t like the $30+ service charge added. This kind of forced tipping for service needs to stop. Many places are doing this now. People should be allowed to tip based upon the service they receive. It shouldn’t just be an automatic fee. That’s not right. Gives servers no real motivation to do a good job in customer service when they know they will get a large tip no matter what. But other than that was very happy with the brunch. Will be back again."

"We enjoy coming here often. The food is really good. Service is always spot on. Not many places to get Italian in the area and they are an excellent choice. Lots of options, check menu pictures in the photos. Only slight complaint would be that most Italian restaurants offer a salad with entree's. No big deal though, the portions are large. Edit: June 2024 This place, like many other restaurants, has seemed to go downhill since the pandemic. The last time we were here the service was terrible, our waitress stopped by our table 3 times during the hour, one of the times we had to ask someone to go find her. She didnt ask how our food was, she forgot to bring out the bread basket, we didnt bother to ask. The artichoke dip was not very good at all. They try to pair it with kalamata olives and some sort of citrus maybe? Whatever it is, it does not pair well together and tasted very off. The main dishes (penne al forno, and fettuccini) were just ok. The portions of pasta is certainly smaller than it used to be. Lastly, we were charged 4 dollars for a side of alfredo that was roughly about a half a cups worth and 3 dollars for a side of marinara that was about the same size. What a complete rip off. The restaurant could also use some sound reduction, as even at 20% capacity it was nearly impossible to have a conversation. Overall, the portion size, quality of service, and nickle/dime pricing has totally changed since we used to enjoy coming here. I doubt we will ever come back or visit any of the other locations."

"This place was FIIIIRE!!! We got the Surf n Turf sushi roll, spicy crab n shrimp roll, shrimp tempura ramen bowl, side of kimchi and edamame!! I'm half Korean and have always loved kimchi specially when my grandma or mom makes it homemade. I've had a lot of different types of kimchi but this was probly the closest to my family's homemade kimchi I've ever had! Had the perfect amount of spiciness and the flavor was amazing and paired well with both of our sushi rolls which they were very tasty as well! My GFs son really enjoyed his shrimp tempura ramen bowl which I ended up finishing and the broth n noodles were very good! We were still a little hungry so we snagged a quick order of edamame which was good but could have had a little more flavor. It was our first time eating there and the staff was awesome in suggesting some of the favorites of other guests!"

"I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant, primarily due to the lackluster customer service from a male employee whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch. It was evident that he was not content in his position. To add to my frustration, my mocha was served at such a high temperature that it burned my tongue. As someone who works at Starbucks and knows people at Caribou, I can confidently say that this was some of the poorest service I've experienced. I won't be coming back, and I recommend others seek out a different Caribou for a more positive experience."

"Wow! Flavor quality and price! And interesting dishes! Consider Zupa?s for lunch or dinner. We loved Korean BBQ Brisket sandwich. Great flavors! The Thai Noodle Salad was a buffet in itself! Salad with noodle and peanut sauce, a few carrot shreds, a few mango pieces, delicious chicken chunks, almost three different dishes in one. Nutella Creme Brûlée was a nice dessert. Hidden gems: the chocolate covered strawberries and doughy sweet bread rolls that come with each main course."
