    We had a 1:30 reservation on Sunday but we found they were putting the food away about 2:30 PM so would advise an earlier reservation to be able to take your time and have a leisurely brunch.

    This was an Italian buffet tonight at the Park Grill in University Park. Everything about it was excellent down to the gelato and tiramisu and cheesecake crème brûlée

    Except for salads, no choices for vegans and only a pizza and/or salad for vegetarians. Sat there for a good 20 minutes before I finally corraled a wait person - except for the water pourer. Lunch for two took about 45 minutes to be served.
