Creator's Key Takeaways
I don't really want to hold that against them. I know they have to cater the menu to the pallets that are actually going to be dining there and that is not me.
It was good. $35. was good. Sure, for something different maybe on a cruise ship, but I don't know that it really distinguished itself from a random Indian buffet.
So, this is one of the cases where you know what, if you got $35 to spend or less if you book it ahead of time, just go for it. Why not?
You just might wish you went to the buffet.
