We made reservations for the Christmas eve buffet (we are a family of 5). We waited 45 min for our table. The food was not worth the price. Crabs legs and prawns were fresh however. The pork loin was tough and didn't have taste and the prime rib was too rare (and I normally eat prime rib medium rare). We felt like we were in a canteen lining up for food!

"""Not up to par for a Fairmont type experience. The food is always nothing spectacular. The dessert buffer is enticing, but not that tasty. Rack of lamb was super small and over cooked. Probably the prime rib is the only reasonable choice here!"""

Good major downtown hotel dining room feel and results - if you have to stay in . . . .)
