Since it’s a buffet do we pay before the meal? And do we pay when we walk in to confirm the reservation?

As stated,you pay when finished

You pay when finished.

There is an option to have just the salad bar without the meats.

The salad bar is buffet style, the meat is brought to your table as you need or want it. You pay at the end of your meal. Its a great experience.

You pay when you're finished eating (just like a normal sit down restaurant). It is a buffet, but the food is brought to you fyi
