| - Customer service, value, quality of food, convenience, décor ... all in a lunch buffet.
I was greeted kindly by the hostess and a server, ate at a beautiful table and my experience from start to finish was five stars. I began by sampling the salad bar, which had sliced hard boiled eggs, three types of salad greens, pickled pearl onions, a wide variety of cheese, fresh vegetables and also a very tasty pasta salad and red potato salad that wasn't mushy mashed potatoes, but well made with a great taste.
For the main course, there were two offerings: roast chicken legs and meat lasagna. I sampled a bit of each. I don't like chicken legs but found a small piece of white meat and it was really good. What surprised me was that I polished off everything I took. Sometimes in a buffet, I can't finish something because I either didn't like it or it was too much.
Dessert was the best part. My favourite was a coconut mousse over a chocolate cake crust with coconut sprinkled into chocolate sauce and a perfect fresh raspberry. I've ordered desserts at high end restaurants that didn't come together as well as this did, and it was part of a dessert buffet bar.
The manager walked by and politely asked how my lunch was. And this is why I give five, not four stars. She, like the other staff, genuinely seemed to care about the job they were doing. It was like a well oiled machine. What a hidden gem. Fast, delicious, great customer service and quality food. When I got my bill I was happy to pay! $10.95 for a delicious lunch buffet ... totally awesome.
