text: There seems to be two different experiences here the one that most people have had and then the one my friend and I had I have no problem spending money on good food and drinks but I was hard pressed to spend on brunch that had the word buffet in it When Julie K had posted a talk thread informing us of the Groupon Reserve for I jumped on it figuring there would not be better time to try it Made a reservation for arrived on time and was seated an hour later An hour I guess they figure my time is not valuable I could have slept in longer Finally we were seated but did not have our drink ordered taken for another minutes as we were sitting there I was noticing the decor I felt like I was in a Cosby Show episode the ambiance was very strange s theme all the way Started out at the station with the broiled lobster tails seemed to look good they were split in half so I grabbed a couple these were decent but nothing spectacular I skipped the carving station as I am not a huge meat eater so I cannot comment on that The entire warming station was set up like a catering type deal all the food is in a metal flip top with fire under neath so all the food had that hardened layer on top Not appetizing at all Went over to the sushi station ordered hamachi and tako when I got to the table I noticed how hard the fish was I was not brave enough to try it The caviar was scooped from a bucket type thing I gave it a try but spit it out It was so warm I tried the oysters which were stacked on a plate sitting on ice again when I returned to the table I noticed how smelly they were So I was too nervous to try them All the while we were barely checked on my our server we had maybe refills of PJ that is basically the best part of the meal so far we ended up eating mostly crab legs and a few crab claws The desserts were comparable to Costco we tried the creme brufbluee ehh It gives me no pleasure to complain about this entire mealexperience but I cannot see how this was a great experience from anyone We tipped on the full amount so this still was a meal This was a huge disappointment
