The food selections to go with the meat were all veggies/rice/small potatoes - however no Mac n Cheese or a Soufflé-overkill on salad bar veggies and hot veggies-the deserts were all parfaits. For the price you pay - should receive better portions and better overall options of food!

The food for the Easter buffet wasn’t good, the only exceptions were the omelet and crepes stations. I used to look forward to this as a way to have a nice buffet experience with the family. For an incredibly expensive meal, I’d expect a lot more selections, better tasting food, and it to be cooked correctly. This was incredibly disappointing.
