Today I ate with my friends at the Brasserie for their lunch buffet. This is my first time writing a review, but I'll be trying my best.
Service: N/A it was a buffet so the only service there is to talk about are the chefs. The chef at the fresh pasta section and the nigiri and hand roll section were quite patient and had a good attitude.
Environment: the ambience was ok, but it was quite busy with people walking back and forth to get their food, and the staff coming around the take away the empty plates. The interior was quite nice and the glass displays and dining area was also very beautiful.
Hygiene: their washrooms are very clean, the tables, and floors were also shiny and polished.
Food: overall, their food was of high quality and not only were they very mouth-watering, their presentation was also impeccable. The desserts were notably delicious, and they had a wide variety of foods.
What we ate at the buffet:
Person #1: tempura, sashimi, stir fried vegetables, blowtorched salmon nigiri, fish soup
Lemon tart, cheese cake
+/-: she thought everything was average
Her rating: 3 stars
Person #2: Romaine's heart Caesar salad, chicken in white wine, tempura, fried fish, Doris, fish soup, hand roll with asparagus, egg, and shrimp.
Passion fruit chocolate mousse, lemon tart, cheese cake, opera

Her rating: 3.5 stars
Person #3: blowtorched beef, tempura, sashimi, sushi, hand rolls

Me: seafood paella, chicken in white wine sauce, vegetables in pesto sauce, dim sum, stir fried vegetables, grilled vegetables, fried rice, blowtorched beef, the daily catch fish with seaweed, the shrimp and egg nigiri, purple rice sushi, white creamy sauce pasta with mussels, and mushrooms
A Madeleine cookie, a spiraled sugar cookie
Kumquat lemon juice
+Their juice is good, and generally their seasonings were great, and their fish are fresh
-the pasta is slightly under seasoned, the blowtorched beef is way too chewy and I definitely don't recommend it
-I tried some cakes from my friends and most of them are slightly too sweet
My rating: 3.5 stars
Average: 3.5 stars but I don't consider this to be a 3 star restaurant either so that's why I'll be rating it as 4 stars.
