Having just gone there yesterday I have to say that the food was decent but this place failed to shine in any other respect. It is expensive, the atmosphere is poor (mall), the service was fair (friendly but sparse). Just generally not worthwhile, particularly at over $25 per person for dinner.\r

This is the place to go if you want to gorge on seafood but I've had far better meals in this town for way less money in more interesting locations. Basically this is the place that goes for quantity over all else but even as a big eater I didn't feel like I got my moneys worth from the meal. Having not gone to an all you can eat buffet since being a teen ager the joys of gluttony are no longer as apparent to me. If you want to eat until bursting with little thought on anything else great but otherwise forget it. \r

As for the the food it was decent. The crepes where fun, some of the salads were good. The seafood was acceptable quality. The fruit and desserts were lack luster and not worth eating. I had some tasty mushroom fried rice but I've had good fried rice meals for $10-12 else where that were better, and served in more interesting locations.\r

The fact they don't validate parking in the malls ramp only added insult to injury, they do validate for smart park but you have no way of knowing this before hand. The staff apoligized for this and blamed the management who did nothing. I guess they think all you can eat is enough of a virtue, and for some dinners well into their 3rd or 4th plate it may be but for others, look elsewhere.\r

So on the whole just don't bother. It wasn't that the experience was terrible it was just at the end of the meal I felt like ""what? I paid for this? why?"" I didn't find the food as offensive as some have but this place is a poor value, go to the sushi-go-round and escape for about half the price with a similar quality meal. And you get to avoid the mall...
Pros: lots of different food, eat as much as you want
Cons: poor value, sterile mall like location, average food for too much money
