The buffet features a variety of seasonal mixed salads, including Greek Potato and Chickpea Salad, and Moroccan Cauliflower Couscous, along with pasta and more. It is a semi-buffet only, so definitely don’t expect a massive buffet section. The highlight is the roast carving station, with the selection of roasts changing daily, so be sure to check the roast schedule!The food was decent for healthy options, but my favorite was definitely the roast ham served with gravy and caramelized onions. The flavor and richness were spot on! If you’re not in the mood for a full meal, it’s also a great casual spot for snacks and happy hour cocktails.…Read More
