My staff Christmas lunch was in the basement of the Empress Hotel.

We had several items to chose from on their buffet menu. On the grill today was turkey (dark and light), roast beef with blue cheese topping, salmon and halibut, Lots of fine deserts to chose from, cakes, pies, and some creme brulle. I n the salad bar there was a fruit and cottage cheese, a cesar and a green.

In all it was very rich, very well made food of the highest quality. I paid $40 for a plate, not really worth the high price, in my opinion.

I wouldn’t say this was the best vegetarian restaurant I’ve ever been to.
