| - We arrived at 2:30pm on a Wednesday and were expecting a waiting line. However, there was no line and the hostess was ready to walk us to our table after we finished paying.
The hostess was nice and gave us a description of the various buffet stations as she walked us to our table. Our waitress came and took our drink order and off we went to get our food.
The main buffet area had stations for seafood: crab legs, oyster on a half-shell, mussels on a half-shell and large peeled prawns. Also, there were oyster shooters, ceviche, gazpacho, and a seafood salad. In the hot section, there was grilled halibut and salmon, paella, clam bake, crab croquettes and a delicious lobster corn chowder.
The carving section had an amazing 18 hr smoked brisket, prime rib, cowboy rib eye, lamb chops, grilled chicken, links, ribs, turkey and ham. They also had sliders, fried chicken with sweet potato fries in a little basket.
In the Mexican section, they had items including made to order tacos, tamales, and carnitas. In buffet stations in the back room, there are stations for Italian foods including various pasta dishes, such as peso tortellini and lasagna. Also there are gourmet cheeses and about 8 different types of cured meats. In the Asian section, there are several types of sushi and BBQ pork, ribs, Peking duck, dim sum, and several stir fry items. Also there is a salad section station as well.
In the front room, there is a large, four-sided dessert section, which had numerous types of cakes, tarts, pies, cupcakes, flan, crème brulees, candies, and cookies. Also, they offered gelatos and sorbets and even made crepes to order.
The service needs to be fined tuned. After we left our table to get our second buffet plate, we came back to a cleaned table. Our used plates, utensils, drinks and napkins were gone. Our waitress came back and apologized and said the bussers had mistakenly cleaned our table. She promptly brought new utensils and drinks.
Overall, this is one of the best buffets that we've had. All the food was very good to excellent. Though pricey, it is worth it. 4.5 stars.
