| - Too bad that such a pretty restaurant should offer such mediocre food. I was tempted to go with 3 stars here, as this place is so much fun to visit, and there were elements to my experience that I enjoyed. But that would be misleading, as the food that I ate only warrants 2 stars. I visited the omelette station first. This is a flattop omelette, so was more filling than egg, and I had to ask the woman cooking it to remove it from the grill before she overcooked it. It was edible but nothing to recommend. I got some sausage, potatoes and an English muffin from the hot buffet line, and, while nothing was terrible, I've had better quality food at a Hilton Garden Inn. I also gave the two fish preparations that were being offered a try. The salmon with hollandaise and spinach was nice, but the breaded white fish with capers was obviously a frozen filet and not made fresh there at all. I had read about the donut station, and was pleased with the wonderful little machine that spits them out and the donuts themselves. This was probably the best thing I ate. I always leave room for dessert at a buffet such as this, as it can often be the best part of the meal. I might have saved myself the calories, as the desserts here were the most disappointing part of the brunch...cake from a box, cookies from the store, and a chocolate truffle that, like the place itself, only looked good on the surface.
