No wait to be seated; good desserts

Located in the Marriott hotel, this restaurant is not too busy during the week. They have both a hot and cold buffet in addition to the lunch menu. $11 for the cold buffet; $14 for the hot buffet. The selection of food on the cold buffet is not worth the price--generally they have soup, cold cut sandwiches, salad, pasta salad, fruit, build your own cold cut sandwich, and desserts. Quality is good, but quantity of choices is slim. The only redeeming side of the buffet is that they do have excellent desserts. Service from wait staff is pretty slow. There's a better buffet just down the 16th street mall at the Adam's Mark Hotel for about the same price.

• Pros: great desserts; quick to be seated
• Cons: buffet selection is lacking; slow service
