GRIFFINS Monday January 1, 2007<\/strong> COLD ITEMS<\/strong> HOT ITEMS<\/strong> SWEET DELIGHTS<\/strong> $48.00 per Adult Gratuity & taxes are additional It sounded good and so we went. As you can tell, it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exactly an inexpensive buffet either, but as long as the food and service was good we wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really mind. The service was actually decent and the selection was great. Some items like the prime ribs were great considering it was an all you can eat. Overall though, everyone seemed to of been on the side where it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really feel like it was entirely worth $48 a head. <\/p>\n The main thing that popped in my mind was how my mom only went for 1 round where she grabbed some salmon and vegetables. While that was kind of expected as she doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t normally eat a lot in restaurants anyways, the average was maybe 2.5 rounds for each person before they said that they were full and it just reminded me on how so many people think that you are saving money by going to an all you can eat restaurant compared to if you bought separate dishes at a regular restaurant. This was the final bill before tips:<\/p>\n Just looking at that, for $305.28 we could of went to some very exquisite restaurant. I think here in Vancouver it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mostly sushi buffets where I constantly hear people saying how they save so much money by going to one and similarly most of the time when I dine with these type of people they can barely eat more than what they would normally order from a regular restaurant which would have been cheaper and in most cases would have higher quality food. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of like shopping at a Costco I guess where it looks like you are saving so much money by buying this large food item when in reality there is no way you can finish it and so you end up wasting it or forcing yourself to eat more than you normally would.<\/p>\n There is no one in my social circle that can really devour an all you can eat buffet until the owners would want to kick you out, but for the most part this is one of those examples I think where just because it sounds like you are getting a lot for the price doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you are actually saving money if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really take full advantage of it. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So on New Years day yesterday the family decided that we would go to a restaurant of some sort as a way to celebrate the new years together.
