Review from Christine K.

This is a work spot. We go to lunch or sometimes to the lounge after work for drinks. I saw they have new lunch specials which include an entree & salad for $8. The entrees are either pizza, sandwich - I can't remember the other two choices but there were 4. Each entree & salad choice changes daily.
When we go for lunch we have the buffet. They have different themes, but today, Friday is Seafood. It's $12.95 & includes a drink of either coffee/tea, iced tea or pop (all are bottomless). You can just do the soup & salad bar too - which would be plenty, but I'm not sure of the price for that one. My friend suggested it's only a couple of bucks cheaper so you might as well go for the whole shebang.
The salad bar was quite good. Had asparagus, whole grilled mushrooms, prawns w/cocktail sauce - nice & horseradishy, mussels, potato salad, caesar salad, cheese, salami, grilled eggplant, bean salad, etc. etc. Everything was fresh. There's a soup station with dinner rolls. Soups today were Boston clam chowder & chicken vegetable.
Hot station had scalloped potatoes or rice. Veggies - (sauteed zucchini) or veggie lasagna. Prawns in garlic butter or popcorn shrimp. Turkey schnitzel with mushroom gravy (I know - weird on a seafood buffet, but it was good actually). Basa (Mediterranean style) & whole salmon with a creamy dill shrimp sauce.
Desserts are cakes, pudding, fresh fruit & cheesecake. These were below average, though the fruit was fine.
The food is not gourmet! However, it is edible & not bad tasting. BUT, like any buffet, the food looks better than it actually tastes. The stations are looked after well. A good value for the money really. Sitting in the lounge is nicer than the restaurant part. It's a nice splurge on a Friday. Thank goodness I'm walking home cos I'm soooo stuffed! I had to write this review for fear of nodding off to sleep at my desk!Listed in: West Broadway (Fairview/Mt.…
