| - A friend of mine had a coupon for $10 off so we decided to give Commensal a try.
The layout reminded me a campus cafeteria. We grabbed our plastic trays, a large plate, and started on the cold side of the buffet. Lots of different salads (coleslaw, couscous, quinoa, pasta, greek) and raw veggies to pick from.
Once the plate looked 'green' enough, we headed to the hot buffet. Here there were different curries, potato dishes (sweet, mashed, etc.), soups, stews, and grains.
Flavours are good, but sometimes you can get a cold bite since the hot dishes have been out for a while. There's a water station where you can refill your glass easily.
What attracts me to Commensal is the variety. A small scoop of Tabouli salad here and a few green beans over there. The plate obviously fills up quickly and so does your cost. With the $10 coupon, our two plates came to a total of $16, so estimate about $10-$15 per person. Not bad for a quick lunch and great selection.
