Very good, Terra (now closed, chef/owner moved to La Mesa and opened a lower end place called Terra American Bistro about a month and a half after this meal/pictures were taken).

The Lobster mac-n-cheese at the old place used to use Fontina, Gruyere and Brie.
The new place looks to use Asiago, Brie and Havarti.

that canoli bday cake looks like something! was that lobster unlimited? i've been to asian run buffets with my family in the past where they frown upon taking so much, the next time my family would come, there was a ticket policy where you were only limited to one or two. lol.

i don't do buffets anymore because i don't have the metabolism i did back in my early 20s, but that's right by where my in-laws live (aviara pkwy).

The Park Hyatt Aviara is a top resort (AAA 5 Star), there's no limit on what you eat.
Lol at limits at asian buffets...get out of the business if you can't hang and put limits on items. I actually don't think I've ever been to a buffet where there has been limits...that kind of goes against the concept of a buffet.

haha, well you know... some asians are crazy... on the one hand you got a party that is trying to save a buck by gorging on all the lobster and crab claws they can get their hands on and on the other hand the other party is trying to save money on their lobster purchases. it's just a tool to draw people in "oh! we've got lobster!"

it actually kind of disgusted me, some of my relatives who'd pile the s*** high on their plates and then keep going back for more like little piggies. my parents don't do it so much anymore now that they're getting old, but i have no idea about my auntie's family. i've seen other viet famililes do it in vegas, too. hahaha.

i've never been to a 5 star buffet though, so i was just wondering. of course, you wouldn't see my family there since it's not somewhere you go to save a buck. :)
i'd talk my in-laws into taking me to park hyatt, but they're old, too and have a restrictive diet. :(
