We went before last night's Pens game (got to see the goalies go at it, that was SO awesome!) Reservations are a must!
**you must have tickets for Lexus Club, Captain Morgan Club or First Niagara Club seats in order to dine in the Lexus Club**
Buffet style dining with loads of panache and glamor, even for those of us dressed in hockey jerseys (or worse!) A classy atmosphere even though it is a ginormous room for 200 or so, except for the shiny new Lexus car sitting on a platform---really? Ick.
I believe this is an Aramark catering establishment.
Well staffed, great service. In fact I would give it 4 stars for that, but the food just brought it down.
What I sampled from the buffet:
ginger-carrot puree--inedible, it was so salty.
Spinach salad--would have been better if I could add the dressing myself
cheese and meat platter. Meats were cubed beautifully, but the cheeses were displayed whole with very dull knives to chunk off a piece or two. A real line-clogger of a platter.
Pork Loin Roast, nice and tender
Lamb Stew-meat so tender, had a Moroccan spiced flavor. My favorite savory item.
Baked Haddock- the "lightest" entree item I could find, ultra crispy cracker topping (maybe it was panko, I didn't eat with my glasses on, lol)
Braised purple cabbage with bacon-so so so bland.
Lemon Berry cake- best of show for my dinner. A lemon 2-layer cake studded with cranberries (!) and maybe some other kind of berry too (still no glasses) with a generous lemony frosting between the layers.
Tasted hubby's Tiramisu--a cute little pre-cut 3" square, all the flavors were there.
I really wish there were a few healthy options to be had, especially in the vegetables! Most were so creamed or sauced or cheesed that I didn't even taste them. Having a few steamed veggies or undressed salads available does not seem like it would be a gargantuan add to the work load of a busy restaurant such as this.
Oh! about the price--($45 per person) dinner for two plus on glass of wine and one beer was $115
