Gran Via Buffet

Mothers day, Sunday dinner. Busy and should 40 minutes in line at 4:30, got in about 5:10. Salad bar, 4⭐. Lacking labels, but everything fresh and variety. Italian, pizza looked ok but didn't try. They had pizza ovens. Chicken parm was sad and soggy. Sausage and peppers & olives were best. 2⭐. Mexican, enchilada was good, queso(added on top of broc/cauliflower)barbacoa, 3⭐. Meats, fresh brisket. It tended to dry out quickly. Turkey was not dry. Fried chicken was meh, chicken fried steak was yuck. 2⭐. Asian, was very limited but lo mein was ok, fried rice looked dry, potstickers were good, and egg rolls were ok. Dessert was best. Large selection of cheesecake and cakes. Cobblers were best and blueberry & strawberry cheesecake(s) and loved the extra thick flan. Coffee was great too. The bread pudding was very dry, 4⭐. $119 total with tip. We added another $10 on the table for our server, his selection was in the right corner by salad bar and Italian. He was doing a great job with how busy it was and he inherited a dirty section from previous server. I wish I remembered his name to give him a shout out! Sorry!

Sunday brunch is definitely worth visiting. The weakest point is the American breakfast items as they were all frozen or overcooked oatmeal. Eggs were great, they need more than 1 person working the omelet station. Recommend making a taco station and pancake station for fresh flapjacks or even waffles. Brisket was delicious even though it looked dry. Mexican section was the best following the pho bar. 😋. Go for the Mexican fritata(egg), and raspberry empanada. My husband made breakfast tacos with the Brisket. Coffee was great and thank you to Grace. Our server kept our table clean and drinks full. Very lovely and hope she gets recognized for awesome work looking after us.
