| - I'm sitting around 3.5 stars on this.
Feast is a solid buffet choice. I visited on a Thursday and kept my expectations low, keeping in mind that the options would not include all of the bells and whistles that would come with a weekend visit.
That said, I was here for a holiday party and didn't pay for my meal, so I can't speak to pricing. To be honest, I was so hungry that I didn't even look at prices.
The entire area is well maintained. Despite the fact that almost entire party ventured out for food at the same time, the buffet really only felt crowded at the carving station.
The food selection was good and replenished quickly. To my surprise, the standout items were the tom yum soup and the roasted pork shoulder. The soup was served in individual bowls with mushrooms and shrimp. I was happy to find just a bit of heat (I like more, but I still enjoyed the soup as is). However, the biggest surprise was the roasted pork shoulder on the carving station. It was juicy and tender and even came with a bit of skin. It was so very close to lechon that my pork-loving filipino was a bit giddy on the inside. The carving attendant almost scrapped the skin off of my serving, but I quickly begged for every last morsel. I topped some of the pork with chimichurri sauce that I got from the beef carving station and threw it into a roll from the salad. Needless to say, I went back for seconds on both the soup and pork.
The salad and dessert stations were just okay. Pretty standard.
Service, on the other hand, was great. Everyone was attentive. Plates were cleared and soda/water refills were plentiful.
I don't know if I'll back just because it's out of the way for me, but I enjoyed dinner more than I expected. Can't complain.
