The Great Food Exposition

A fellow foodie of mine suggested this place to us, so when my parents visited us last month we figured taking them was the perfect excuse to finally check it out! I will start of by saying that the service at the hostess station where you pay is potentially horrific. Unfortunately, it is obviously staffed with some people who simply shouldn't be allowed to talk to guests because not only do they not care, but they will argue and talk back to you. But hopefully you won't have the same experience - fingers crossed. Now this buffet is by no means the best buffet in the country. But it probably is the best in St. Louis. They have a pretty decent sushi station along with the usual lunch options you might expect. But I think dessert is where they really shine. Their gelato is actually pretty great! And they had some pretty great chocolate mousse on this particular day. I'm sure we will visit again!

I was pleasantly surprised here. Came for brunch and all of the food was just delicious. Hotcakes, omelet bar, fried chicken, carved ham & turkey. Even the Brussels sprouts were tasty, which are usually on my "no list". Sushi made fresh. Cheese blintzes. Fresh baked pies. Oh, and a bottomless glass of mimosas! Service was friendly and impeccable. And to top it off we paid for it with house money!

It used to be better. Took advantage of Prime Time promo so lunch buffet cost about $8/PP. Went around 1pm and fairly busy. Food on par with Golden Corral with better atmosphere. Sushi bar replaced with cold cuts. House made ice cream is gone. Mac and cheese not good today. Corn on the cob big time overcooked. I love shrimp and they're on the buffet but they just aren't good. Rarely do I see someone get shrimp which would normally be a big mover. Gooey butter was almost all crust. Definitely wouldn't pay normal price. EDIT/ADD Sadly, this eatery was a casualty of the pandemic. Closed for good.
