| - We went to Habitat for their Thanksgiving buffet, so this review covers only that specific event, not their general menu.
The good points: the food was generally very tasty. Service was very good -- we wanted some special things and the staff was able to provide them. I see that others commented on the utensils and dishes. We actually were impressed by the choices, such as having a coffee set that also had a place for a companion desert. Speaking of deserts, they were
great. One that stood out was a "turkey cookie" which had two standing cookies surrounding a pumpkin filling, with icing designed to look like a turkey.
On the not so good side. First, much to my amazement, they ran out of turkey. Yes, on a Thanksgiving buffet, they ran out of turkey. Second, there was very little selection (compared to what one might expect of a Thanksgiving buffet). For example, for the breakfast part of the buffet, they offered eggs Benedict. That was nice -- but that's all they had for eggs. Perhaps one could have asked for something else (see service comment above), but it was not clear how far one could go "off menu". Similarly, no soups -- you might expected something like a pumpkin or squash soup. Few salads. Lots of cold cuts, if you like that kind of thing. Third, some duds in the food. While most of the food was very tasty, there were exceptions. For example, the mahi-mahi was chewy, not flaky. Finally, the price: for $70 a person, I would have expected everything to be great, which along with the very limited selection, strongly influenced the rating to 2 stars as a Thanksgiving Buffet.
