| - I think this place deserves more credit than it gets. It doesn't make pretentious claims of being the best, nor does it price itself as if it were. Yet there is more substance than I would have expected from a tourist-friendly preposition like this one.
The $15 lunch table d'hôte must be one of the best value in town Mon-Sat. It's not a typo. I've been happy enough with the 7oz sirloin steak that I came back for it. It's a thick and lean cut, with just enough seasoning, and cooked to a perfect medium-rare like I ordered. Soup/salad and dessert are included, so the portion size is more than adequate for lunch.
I was pleased with the buffet brunch on Sunday as well. It was much more than a carb fest - meats of all kinds were available (roast pork and beef, ribs, smoked salmon, and mussels, just to name a few) in addition to omelettes prepared-to-order, soft waffles and berries. There were many sweets to choose from as well (crème brulée, cakes, etc.) though they were more filling than delightful. The ribs were interesting: not your traditional fall-off-the-bone BBQ-sauce ribs - those ones had the texture and taste of their steak.
I feel there is genuine attempt by Management to offer good service. As well, the cooking appears to be consistent. No hesitation in recommending this place to friends.
