| - I purchased a Groupon for this place (which I kinda forgot I had) so my aunt and I ventured over to Graze last weekend for the Sunday buffet. The first thing that struck me that was odd, is this buffet is kinda in the middle of the hallways in the lobby. Weird for sure. You wander up and down, back and forth. Then once you have a plate off food, you go over to this big room, like a room a hotel uses for a wedding reception. That was strange. Add a polka band and it surely could have doubled as a Saskatchewan wedding reception.
Now let's get to the food, because really, that's what a buffet is all about. There was a wide variety of food here: muffins, freshly made crepes (which were outstanding!) made to order omelettes, eggs benedict, carved ham & roast beef (yum!), the standard sausage bacon scrambled eggs potatoes. Almost forgot the soups. Down the one corridor they had a lunch selection with some spaghetti, chicken, rice, mussels and fresh shrimp and large selection of salads. I thought it was pretty tasty. Then there was a whole table centering around a milk chocolate fountain. It had fresh fruit, cake pieces, & marshmallows to dip in the chocolate. I much prefer dark chocolate so this wasn't really for me. However, the desert table was more my speed. OK selection of cake slices, although no cheese cake :( but some of the squares were good. They only offer coffee with the buffet and you have to pay $2 for a glass of OJ. Bummer
Overall, I'd say the quality of food was a 3/5, the variety 4/5, logistics and ambiance 2/5. I haven't quite decided if I'll return. I still don't understand how come buffets in Canada have to be so freakin expensive. Food for thought!
