I have to admit that the food here was not up to the quality of the food at the buffet. Our package included a discount for dinner. Upon check-in, it was a nice surprise to find a large Happy Birthday banner in the room along with a gift bag from the casino on the bed. Lots of variety and all cooked to perfection. Well, this one is different - the food was all fresh and delicious. It is one of the best buffets! I usually don't like buffets because the food is to overwhelming and doesn't always look appetizing. We arrived early on a weekday so we were able to have the buffet lunch prior to check-in. They know I like to play the slot machines and go to casinos. My daughters and husband gave me a very nice birthday gift which included a night at a mini suite in the Pala Casino.
