This is one by of the last and best brunch buffets around, maybe the best. It is even better than the Hard Rock in Atlantic City. Oysters, Clams, Shrimp and Sushi. Many hot dishes and lots of deserts. A great deal at $55.00.

A top notch brunch for everyone. Cold clams & oysters on ice, sushi, 3 carving items, eggs, breakfast meat, sides, 4 salads, etc. Chocolate fountain, self serve soft ice cream. Plus Santa & elf for picture taking in Dec. Attentive servers & friendly vibe all around. My only nit is that the cake squares on the dessert bar dry out quickly. You can also order several items ( eggs Benedict, omelets from the kitchen, all of the above included in the price.
