I wish I could remember every single item I tried, but sadly, I lack a photographic memory. I do remember the following:\n\nAngry Mac n' Cheese, spicy salmon roll, bone marrow, polenta, black squid ink pasta, a passion fruit and mango(?) shooter, HUGE cocktail shrimp, French toast, goat cheese in a mini cone, wheatberry salad, goat cheese panna cotta and a ton of desserts (white chocolate citrus cake, baba au rhum, raspberry white chocolate mousse, lemon custard tart, chocolate pistachio cake, chocolate-covered strawberries). My memory of the desserts is much better since I snapped a photo :)\n\nAs with any buffet, some items are hit or miss. Some I devoured, some I only took a bite or two. Same story with the dessert. I loved how everything was presented in small portions. Sometimes you had to scoop stuff out of a tray just like a standard buffet, but other times they served the items by the dish. \n\nThe dessert bar was insane, though. It was hard not to get one of everything. If only they had macarons that day! I was too full to partake in the gelato bar, though that looked amazing.\n\nService was good. Non-alcoholic drinks are complimentary, so I definitely washed down my meal with some hot green tea.\n\nThe price for brunch was $27 before tax. Not as steep as I was expecting. Make sure to come on an empty stomach and wear stretchy pants."^^ . . "2"^^ . "1"^^ .
