Sunday Brunch Buffet - Catalina Kitchen

Image
$75.00 + Tax + 15% Tips I don't do buffet too often because I'm not a big eater.   But today is Christmas Eve so I went on a splurge for a brunch buffet.  The brunch buffet at this restaurant was one of the best that I had tried.  There was quite a variety of items, there was so much to choose from that I didn't have room to try the made-to-order omelet station, the dessert station, the carving station, the sushi station, the bread station, the made-to-order crepe station, the pizza station etc. This is why I rarely did buffet.  I tended to pick the same salad, fresh cut fruits and seafood that I usually became too full to try other items.  Beside the seafood, the salad and the fresh fruits, I did try one piece of french toast, one piece of pancake, and one scoop of caramel gelato from the gelato station.  I also drank too much fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. Everything that I tried was so good that I didn't leave behind one bit of food ...

Grilled Salmon Plate - Ocean Market Grill

$14.50 + Tax I just stumbled upon this place when I was craving for a cup of coffee from Starbucks.  This casual restaurant is next to  Starbucks.  I'm glad I gave this place a try because the food here was very good.  I love the char-grilled fish here so much.  I ordered the salmon for my fish plate with garlic butter sauce (two other seasoning options are blackened and simply salt and pepper), and I chose garlic rice and potato tots as my sides.  The sides were so delicious.  I rarely like potato tots because they often carried the bitterness and a hint of rancid oil taste due to the infrequent change of frying oil.  But the potato tots at this restaurant were fantastic.  They were so good that I didn't even need ketchup, or any extra seasoning.   I wish this restaurant every success because I so need it to stay open.  There are just too few restaurants that serve good quality food like this around this area....
