   For full buffet price there should be more options. I would think they would have omlette station for that price. Also they run out of food or glasses you think staff would check no they walk right by we had to notify the server.

   Cristina: thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent breakfast experience at our hotel. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a variety of options and high-quality service for our guests, and I regret that we fell short in this instance. I will ensure that it is shared with our culinary team to explore potential improvements. Regarding the issues with running out of food and glasses, our goal is to maintain a well-stocked and smoothly running buffet, and I’m disappointed to hear that this was not your experience. I will address this with our service staff to ensure that they are more attentive to these aspects in the future. We appreciate your comments as they help us improve.

   There was a group of 8 of us, and 7 of the group had never been to the restaurant before, and most will probably not return. Three people got the Salmon ($30.00+). Two of them had to stop at a fast food place after we finished eating because the portions were so small they were starving. The Seafood Chowder also didn't feel like it was worth the money. One person in our group paid extra to change their fries to a salad, but for the cost of the upgrade, there was very little salad in the bowl they received. The restaurant was slow, but it was a longer wait than expected. The view was amazing, the staff was excellent, and it was easy to talk, which was in its favour. They have a great breakfast buffet, and I would recommend that repeatedly, but I would not recommend this restaurant for any other meal.

    went there for breakfast buffet. The food was good however the food was a bit on the cooler side. I understand it was a buffet and food doesn't stay hot that long but overall the taste was still delicious!!! the only other thing was it did state on the website that you can get an omelet as part of the buffet made to order but i did not see that option.
