Signature Dishes
Buffet salad bar
The greens are crisp and fresh, while the selection varies in breadth; dressings include olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and avocado sauce. Refills are quick, but the bar is more crowded at peak times.
U.S. premium ribeye steak
At medium-rare, some servings have had a charred exterior with juicy, tender meat inside; there have also been experiences of more gristle.
French lobster soup
The soup has a fresh, sweet flavor, but the seafood taste is quite pronounced; even diners who prefer bold flavors may not be used to it.
Filet mignon
Medium-rare filet mignon has at times been well executed in doneness and texture; medium-well filet has at times been dry, mealy, and cloying, and some filet entrées have arrived somewhat cold.
Canelé
The dessert bar offers small treats such as canelés, macarons, crème brûlée, and tiramisu.
