| - Probably closer to 3.5 stars than 4, but the price was right and a 2-for-1 coupon sweetened the deal.
Our champagne brunch was quite nice. We each asked for orange juice with an extra glass so we could mix our own mimosas, and the drink waitress looked surprised but complied. The orange juice was great and fresh tasting, so the mimosas were a highlight.
The prime rib was good. The delicious Korean chicken was the best thing I tried. The lamb was only okay. I didn't much care for the stone crab claws (my least favorite kind of crab). The peel-and-eat shrimp was very pleasantly spiced, another winner. The seafood bisque was okay; the soup itself was good but the plentiful seafood was not very appealing and brought it down a notch. (Fake crab, a few tasteless scallops, and tiny shrimp that didn't seem to make any difference other than to give you something to chew.)
The hash -- apparently a big favorite of Hawaiians -- was only adequate, straight from the can and heated the bare minimum. The sausage was okay. The bacon was the best bet among the breakfast meats; but if you like your bacon crisp, you won't like it. The array of lox and fixin's for bagels looked pretty good, but we didn't try it.
The pecan sticky rolls looked marvelous but were unfortunately disappointing. If you like oatmeal, there is a great selection of toppings. There was the usual huge array of buffet desserts.
There's a nice selection of flavored syrups for dressing up your coffee, but instead I added whipped cream. Delicious.
