Is the breakfast buffet worth it?
For a weekend brunch, breakfast is usually the cheapest full buffet of the day. If you eat two or three plates, you will likely spend less than at dinner. If you want steak or carved meats, wait for dinner.† Compare with lunch and dinner prices to decide.
Weekday breakfast is uncommon, so do not assume it is available. Confirm on the day, especially if you are traveling.
