Dinner buffet menu may be drastically reduced, not as advertised on website, but they still charge…read morethe same higher price.
Before booking a reservation for the Saturday night roast beef dinner buffet offered by the Royal Coach Dining Room at the Chateau Louis Hotel, we checked their website to view the menu/prices. As the menu from Saturday night, December 23 had not been updated on their website, we first called the restaurant to inquire if they were still having the same buffet on Saturday night, December 30. We were advised, 'yes,' the buffet was also going ahead the following weekend.
When we arrived on December 30, we were disappointed to discover that the buffet items had been severely cut back from December 23 ... yet the price was still the same, not cheaper. We had really been looking forward to the roast turkey with cranberry walnut dressing, cioppino, basil cream gnocchi, apple cinnamon cake, pistachio rice pudding ... none of these items was, in fact, served at this buffet, yet we were still expected to pay the higher price as advertised for the fully stocked buffet the weekend before.
While the food choices were okay, we were disappointed to attend a buffet with only 5 hot dishes, where 3 of the 5 items were steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, and rice. There are no dinner buns (someone in our group was a meat/potatoes/bread man), and coffee is extra at this buffet. (My personal opinion - for the full price charged for a reduced buffet, coffee should really be included.)
If considering making a reservation for the buffet offered at this restaurant, be sure to call beforehand (better speak with someone knowledgeable like the restaurant manager) to inquire if they are serving the food items as advertised on their website, as the price doesn't get reduced when several menu items are struck off the list.
