The buffet definitely lost its reputation. I went there last Saturday night after many years since last time, and the buffet selection was a lot smaller, and meat was dry and at room temperature. I saw the majority of people opting to order from the menu. It's definitely not worth the price. for the same money, you'd better off eating at the hotel restaurant.

Prices are fair, atmosphere is nice and the thing I came for was beast: All-In Poutine. A 1kg monstrous pile of fries, gravy, cheese curds, ham, pulled pork and the works. I also enjoyed the all you can eat soup and salad bar.

I've eaten here three times as there is not a lot of options within walking distance. The prices are definitely fair, probably on the inexpensive side. The food is ok. I'd say several steps up from a cafeteria, but somewhere between 3 and 4 star food. The salmon was tasty. Nothing mind blowing. The poutine was good but probably not 20$ good. I didn't try the onion soup but my friend raved about that. Lastly, the salad buffet is good for a run or two. There are Asian style put-it-together-yourself soups which are fun. You can make a pho/ramen type of concoction. Of course, there's a standard salad bar. Just your basic salad items. Our server was really good and we enjoyed his chatter. He's been there nearly 20 Years so they have loyalty going for them. I'll probably be forced to eat there again as there isn't much choice unless you catch a cab out. 3 stars is about right.

Food quality has gone severely downhill along with the service. Thankfully I won at slots after a very disappointing brunch or else this review would likely be 2 stars. Simply not worth it when there are so many better brunch places in the city. Avoid for sure, nothing like it used to be.

Served me a raw burger. When I requested a cooked one I was told they cannot or will not cook it to well done. As my dining companions were finishing their meal the staff asked if they can make me something else, after I watched everyone else at the table finish their meals. Horrible experience, I ended up going to Harvey’s nearby where they actually cook their burgers. 0 stars.
