Sorry Robin,

I'm not secure enough in my manhood to call you sexy; how about dapper beast?

Fully understood, Justin. I'd be a little edgy about going there myself.

I was just teasing you, really. It's just that "dapper" makes me think of a little old guy in a white linen suit, walking around his Florida retirement community in spats with a cane.

How about?

"Best Sunday brunch buffet" seems like such a subjective assessment...what one would consider a great buffet others might disagree...it hinges largely on individual criteria...e.g., a previous post derided Bristol's buffet...I've sampled their buffet off and on for years, and always found it to be very good--everything well-prepared with an adequate variety of items....and judging by the amount of business their Sunday buffets generally tend to generate, I would submit that others in the local community agree.

That was me that spoke of Bristol. I have only been once, but it was far from good. It could of been an off day, but I don't think I'll return to Bristol after my experience at Limestone.


Your right in saying "best" is subjective. I'll go with best "value". I just don't see a better value happening than the Limestone buffet ($14). I'd guess the buffet at Oak Room is "better" than Limestone, but it is also $30.

Nice job of sucking up, Justin. :lol: Let's pull "dainty" and "prim" out of there, though, shall we ...

Regarding the Bristol review. Later the person added they had been there only ONCE.
I will say that we ate at the limestone ONCE for a brunch and were not impressed. My husband, who is a dessert person, only nibbled at the dull offerings. He wasn't impressed. It wasn't busy (4 or 5 tables), so we had to get our own coffee refills throughout the meal since the servers didn't have enough tables to be bothered with.
The reason we don't go back to a restaurant after one negative experience is that there are so many choices, one negative experience helps eliminate that particular restaurant. Makes it simpler.
We went to the Limestone once for brunch; once for dinner - never returned. Overpriced. Weren't impressed.

So, you went ONCE.

Right?

The reason we don't go back to a restaurant after one negative experience is that there are so many choices, one negative experience helps eliminate that particular restaurant. Makes it simpler.


That's interesting. What happens when all restaurants you've experienced a bad night,run out? Because, they will; regardless if one think there are so many choices that will always be perfect.

But,hey, if that's your thing. Then go right ahead.
