| - That's it. I'm through with giving these guys an annual second chance. Even with a coupon, it's not worth it.
I used to be quite fond of Seasons for everything but brunch, which was - at least at the time - a little too-seafoody and not-breakfasty enough for me. (Keeping in mind that I'm a vegetarian.) We all have our preferences. Unfortunately, Seasons can no longer even meet my basic "preferences" for "tasty food," let alone variety or service.
Service was pretty awful. We eventually had one plate cleared, but no refills and no eye contact. Hey, kind of like the last few times. (Excepting that one time when we didn't get any drink at all.)
The food for me ranged from "inoffensive but I can do better at home" to "Wow. Gross."
Here, let me show you a photo of "Wow. Gross.": http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/h_g5HV6Fw2rinZ3xqFwygw?select=JphnoRRzPvpz3CKnTWaHnQ
Even before the discovery of hair in my scrambled eggs, they were pretty unimpressive, coming from the culinary tradition of "let's mindlessly let some eggs bake on the skillet, then chop them up with a spatula and call it 'scrambled.'"
The waffle was inoffensive. No fruit or cream, though, and you'll have to fight the omelette station patrons to get near the maple syrup. Don't forget to hit the salad bar for butter. It's next to the cream cheese, which would suggest bagels, but instead the only bread you'll find there is dinner rolls
Most of the breakfast buffet, other than single tight wedge of eggs, potatoes (bland), and waffle squares, is Asian fare and lunch-suitable items. My one vegetarian choice was some macaroni and cheese of a neon orange hue, right down to the squirts of oil that came out of every bite. Ick.
Dessert selection was less remarkable than I remembered. A sort of croquembouche is on display, but nothing that elegant is actually available. Flan, cookies, carrot cake. I remember that on previous trips, those made since Seasons turned on me, usually resulted in a "decent but unremarkable" dessert buffet experience for lack of other options, but this time I just wanted to get out. I did make myself a salad, and that was fine, but couldn't stand on its own as a reason to dip into the dining budget. (Keep in mind that, with 2-for-1 coupon, my meal was only $5.40.)
Unless you are a captive tourist with a coupon, you can do better at so many other places. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to tell you where you can do worse.
