| - Sadly... I don't think I'll be returning to this any time soon.....
This place is expensive.. and really... for good reason. Luckily for me this time, it was subsidized.
So we got seated... I perused around a little bit and got a plate of food. Being that I have a little one and between my wife and I, we alternate shifts while the other watches or entertains or preps food for the little girl, getting and consuming the food happens pretty quickly.
The pesto and shrimp pizza was pretty good...
I was a little disappointed that the only salad was mixings for ceasar, but as this was the 4th buffet of our trip... needed to make sure I was getting the intake of the greens....
...and some breaded shrimp and scallops. I don't typically like to go the breaded route on buffets as I know it's just filler... but it looked, and really did taste good.
I went back for a second round after a bit for a sampling of the sushi, and I threw in some long bean mix in there too(trying to get the greens still).
So then I settled in.. got a little bit of mint choc chip gelato and figured I was just about done for the night.
the little girl was doing good and we were all enjoying dinner... so after a little while I decided I was going to get up and walk off a bit of what I had packed in...... biiiig mistake...
I found out that the desert end isn't really an end so much as it's the half-way point... of which I hadn't explored earlier.... Chinese food(not that I was gonna go for any of this), Mexican, some other interesting stuff including Cauliflour au Gratin(didn't try this), mac and cheese(wish I had room to try this), stuff like corn dogs and ......
a whole friggin salad bar down there... dangit...
So we were there on a Monday night.... and things were pretty bare.. which was really nice.... and at the end of our trip(like I said.. .this was the 4th buffet that we had done)... I wish we had hit this up at the front end of the trip.
But anyway... I've been to a couple buffets.. other than Terribles, they have all been overpriced to some extent(sorry.. I can eat, but shouldn't,. and certainly not $20-30 worth).. I'm an asian guy, and somehow I just don't get the same value for my money as what some people who look like they are regulars do.
If money wasn't in question and I had one buffet to go to.. this one would probably be it.
