| - I've had dinner here 3 times so far, and they have downsized the salad bar selection since the first time I visited.
My last visit was last weekend (June 2015), and they don't have salami or prosciutto anymore. :(
I saw a yelp picture that depicted salmon too, but there wasn't any when I went. The only seafood at the bar was mussels, which were good (flavourful, a little bit on the salty side).
The served meat is still juicy and tasty, but one thing that bothered me was when I requested rare meat, and was given pieces that were mostly medium and well-done instead. After requesting rare meat and turning down well-done meat a few times, a server actually acted on the request and brought back one type of meat at rare doneness - only once though.
In short, expect all meats to be medium or well-done.
Lastly, for a $50 AYCE, I wish desserts were included. The pineapple is good, but it's almost an insult to pay an additional $10+ for a piece of cake. How about a self-serve ice cream bar? Too tacky?

Service:
- attentive but inconsistent and frantic/rushed at times
(ex. offering to bring more appetizers, but then not bringing them; meat servers seem to be running around to serve the meat while it's still hot; etc)

Atmosphere:
- dim lit, down tempo

Other Sides I did like include:
- pork and beans (meaty bacon flavour),
- pickled items,
- that there was guacamole,
- chimichurri sauce (pesto-like), and
- yuca fries (oddly, the thin stick cut reminded me of McDonald's fries, but these were very crisp and of far better quality, of course).
