However, the downside was the lobster in the Benedict, which was disappointing.

We shared a special appetizer of roasted spring onions, which turned out to be just that—barely roasted and nearly impossible to cut with a fork and knife. There was little to no sauce or seasoning, making it quite difficult to enjoy. On a brighter note, the blue cod special was flavorful. Our server was delightful, but seemed a bit distracted. Overall, it was just an average lunch at a restaurant we had hoped would be more enjoyable.

I like buffets for Easter as you are able to have some fruit and pastries and then were able to order an entree of the special menu.
