The selections included a salad bar, shrimp cocktail (with small shrimp), and various breakfast items like French toast, pancakes, tater tots, pigs in a blanket, bacon, Canadian bacon, and toast. For the hot pasta options, there was macaroni and cheese and bowtie pasta with tomato sauce. The prime rib was a standout dish, excellent when paired with horseradish sauce. There was also an omelet station and four types of refreshing cold pasta salads. For dessert, they offered a couple of mini pastries (brownies and apple tarts) and fresh fruit. The prime rib was definitely the highlight of the meal, cooked perfectly. However, it was served lukewarm in a container instead of under a heat lamp, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast items, on the other hand, were quite underwhelming. One main issue was that the dishes were heated in covered buffet containers, resulting in some soggy food. Unfortunately, the pastas were overcooked and lacked flavor. On the positive side, the tater tots, pigs in a blanket, and desserts were delightful. **Pros**: Excellent prime rib and attentive service from the waitstaff, who frequently refilled our water and checked on us. **Cons**: The rest of the menu was disappointing, the $14.95 price tag felt steep, and there were very few Italian food options. **Hidden Tip**: Restaurant.com offers gift certificates that could save you money on your meal, though I'm not sure if they can be used for brunch. United dining miles are also available.
