8 Block | Kitchen & Bar

This is a really nice lunch option close by one of the locations where I work. This is a buffet but think a NOLA style buffet. On the buffet are options like red beans and rice, gumbo, just to list a couple of options. The buffet is broken into a number of sections, a salad bar, sandwich bar, soup bar, dessert bar and an entree bar. To top this off, there is also an option, with the full buffet, to create your own entree where you pick options from a menu card provided. The food is really good and service is awesome to boot. For me create your own entree, I chose, Pan fried salmon with sweet potato gnocchi.

This place is amazing for breakfast. The grits were so creamy and all the fruit was fresh. I usually stay at Hyatt Regency for work in other states. I had a raspberry danish and wanted to know if I could get it here. Bruce Banks took about 15 minutes and got it to me. He brought it to the table and was willing to do anything to make my morning easier. I will definitely be back.

Breakfast buffet and service was excellent! However, $17.95 was a bit much for breakfast...lost one star for that. There is NOT a reduced price for children...lost another star for that. I can't justify spending that much for a waffle, sausage link, and an orange juice. Our waitress did adjust the price for us because we were told before we were seated that there was a kids price.
