I think the main problem in this place is orientation. It's not quite like your normal buffet- there are different stations spread all around the room, serving different kinds of food. It's kind of fun exploring, but I did grab a few Dim Sum to munch while I finished my last white wine of the day.

Suitably reinforced, now with a really quite nice Aussie Shiraz/Carbenet, I went around the circuit. Actually all three of us ambled around the circuit at our own pace, a testament to the visual treats. A lot of the stuff in this buffet they cook up fresh for you, then deliver to your table. Pretty cool.

In rough clockwise order theres-

Chinese, Dim Sum & some other stuff
BBQ, beef tenderloin, lamb, Goose liver (yes!), a couple of Roasts, whatever else cooked to order and delivered. Spuds & gravy of course.
A Kebab stand
A Tandoori oven
A Meditteranean buffet, with all those good things like Parma ham, pizzas cooked to order, freshly baked bread, weird but tasty cold meats, exotic salds with stuff like artichoke- you get the picture.
A cold seafood selection of Prawns, bugs, oysters, rock lobsters. All very fresh and good.
A Japanese section with sushi & sashimi, plus a toucha class- Free Sake! Great sashimi btw, but I really think the complimentary sake was nice. {Beer drinkers- a couple of ales, some free sake and you've saved money compared to the wine buffet.}
Theres Thai too- somewhere. Theres an eggs all day section, but hard to justify with all the other delectables. Theres a seperate room with a big dessert buffet.

I think thats most of it- the thing is, the stuff that tastes best cooked to order, rather than left in a tray, is indeed cooked to order. The food is hard to fault, at least what I had- and wife and Mike.

Dogs Bollocks. This is their Treasure Wall, to one side of the restaurant:-



It's loaded with genuine fake antiques, to help you feel good about your bill.
