As you saw, we have a rather large buffet with many cold salad options, inc. shrimp and a lobster bisque soup. On the hot side, we had a carving station of fresh cut lamb and prime rib, as well as cedar plank salmon and duck. We offered a plethora of side options inc. multiple potato choices. We doubled up our heating elements to mitigate potential cooling that naturally happens when opening the serving dishes. The staff did their best to timely swap out for plentiful replacements, although at times a dish was pulled while the next was brought out... Place cards would definitely have remained in place to indicate what is on its way - as the buffet was kept fully stocked until 11pm that evening.

The quality and choice of options was not commensurate to the $89/pp price point, which did not include drinks.

We do our best to keep the cost of our buffet reasonable, while offering a plentiful and delicious meal for our guests - although we've never included the price of drinks in the cost of our buffet. It sounds like our efforts missed the mark for you.

They don't have either anymore. The Caesar was good but not as good as before and the beef wellington for 1 was good but didn't have foie gras, which was disappointing. Stil very good.
