| - I've been to a fair share of Buffets, but this one is definitely
1) not a lot of variety
2) over-priced for the available selections (2014 prices - week-day lunch: $14.99, dinner 21.99 | weekend lunch: $19.99, dinner $27.99 | Sunday and Holiday all day: $25.99)
3) inexpensive ingredients
Let's re-start this review with some positive notes:
Nice decor. Similar to Frankie Tomatoes in terms of inside decors.
Large washroom with chairs (which I was able to use to nurse my baby in privacy)
In terms of the food:
- cold pizza
- cafeteria style pasta
- 4 large round cakes and some other small desserts
The only "key elements" during their holiday lunch was:
- tomato sauced base mussels
- cold shell-on shrimp at the salad bar
- roast beef (not a lot of beef taste)
- ham (but meh... )
Key elements of what I would expect to find at an Italian Buffet
- selection of cheeses and pates
- portobello mushrooms
- they should have cook to serve pasta with selection of base sauce
- chocolate fountain
- variety of delicatessen (their antipasto bar consisted of can corn, cold pasta, beets.. really? even Asian buffet has these!)
For a few bucks more, I'd rather go to Dragon Legend or Dragon Pearl for their wide selection of food - sashimi, sushi, peking duck, cook-to-serve diced AAA Steak, creme brulee, Lamb rack/lobster/oyster/crab leg (depends on the weekend), However, if you want cafeteria pasta and Tim Horton's soup for $26 + tax, be sure to check out Vinnie Zucchini! ;)
