It was my moms burthday and we decided to go out for a fancy lunch buffet. My dad then told us about this resturaunt in Cleveland Street so we decided to pay there a visit. We arrived at 12:00 to eat the semi-buffet (meaning that you can order one main dish and then serve yourself with a limited salad bar and dessert bar) The atmosphere was nice and quiet, there was barely anyone dining at the moment. There was approximately 10 main courses to choose from (range from around $130-$400.) Main Cour
The atmosphere was nice and quiet, there was barely anyone dining at the moment. There was approximately 10 main courses to choose from (range from around $130-$400.) Main Course also comes with a tiny cup of mushroom soup and a drink. If you only serve yourself to the salad and dessert bar you need to pay $108 (meaning that obviously, it is alot cheaper to order one delicious main course
We sat down and helped ourselves on the salad bar. The choices of fruit salads, appl and potato salad and leafy greens were delicious and fresh. There was also smoked salmon, mussels, clams and shrimp. But i thought those were not that fresh
We ordered 5 main courses (one per person)1 normal ribeye steak ($198)
1 Aged Grain fed 400 days Aberdeen Prime Rib eye Steak (Signature dish) (around $350-$400 i dont really remember)
1 chorizo and tomato fettucine ($128)
2 cheesy Angel hair with lobster and scallop ($280)
After tasting the noraml ribeye steak, we were not too satisfied with the taste. It was not very outstanding at all. so we were tempted to order a more expensive and exotic steak, hoping for it to be amazing. But it was TERRIBLY dissapointing. I could not tell the difference between the 2 steaks. Even a $70 steak from a supermarket taste better cooked by my mum (and shes not a great cook).
Fettucine was good considering it to be so cheap But boy the angel hair was a treat! I loved it. With genourous amount of the seafood and good quality noodles.
^RECOMMEND!!^ Last but not least... dessert
Usually after a buffet, dessert is not too enjoyable, beause you already feel so bloated you were about to pop. This is what I thought, but I was wrong. I couldn't stop eating despite how full I was. The desserts were amazing.Pictured here is:
Tiramisu - great coffee and mascarpone flavor
Brownies - a little bit too dry, ut very chocolatey
Green tea panna cotta - strong matcha flavor, nice and smooth
Creme brulee - delicious, but unfortunately it was served cold

APPLE CRUMBLE- BOY, THOSE WERE DEFINATELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY. I would come again to eat plate after plate just for this delicious apple crumble. The apples are sweet and acidic but not too tart. The crumble was cinnamon-y and crunchy and perfect. Both blends in like a tast a heaven melting in your mouth. With a drizzle or vanilla sauce... URGHHH I CAN'T EVEN USE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!!!
so here you go, overall i thought it was a good semi-buffet. I would definately come and eat again.

Satisfying and happy meal!
