My
family
and
I
stayed
at
the
Renaissance
Hotel,
and
our
goal
for
the
morning
was
to
enjoy
some
breakfast
before
we
explored
the
Aquarium.
Upon
arriving
to
The
Watertable,
we
were
greeted
by
a
sign
that
informed
you
of
the
buffet
prices.
No
big
deal,
I
am
sure
the
quality
of
the
food
and
service
would
match
the
higher-than-average
price
for
a
downtown
breakfast
buffet.
Boy
was
I
wrong.
Let’s
get
started:
1.
No
one
greeted
us
when
we
approached
the
entrance.
We
stood
there,
just
waiting.
Finally
two
minutes
into
waiting
(and
poking
our
heads
in
the
dining
room)
we
were
greeted
and
then
led
to
a
table.
No
apology
for
the
wait..
2.
The
table
was
ready
for
us,
but
it
was
dirty.
Apparently
someone
set
the
table
but
never
cleaned
it.
No
apology
for
the
dirty
table..
3.
We
sat
and
waited
for
our
waitress/waiter
to
arrive.
No
one
showed
up,
I
noticed
two
of
them
running
around
attending
to
other
tables.
But
no
one
visited
our
table
to
take
our
drink
order.
4.
The
buffet
was
disappointing.
Thin
bacon,
dehydrated
eggs,
and
super
dry
potatoes.
All
of
this,
for
$22.95.
No
omelet
station,
no
fresh
eggs,
no
waffle
maker,
and
no
coffee
station.
5.
When
we
got
back
to
our
table,
we
still
had
to
flag
down
someone
to
take
our
drink
order.
And
by
the
time
our
drink
arrived,
we
were
mostly
done
with
our
plates.
6.
And
of
course,
obtaining
our
bill
and
paying
for
it,
took
an
obscene
amount
of
time.
I
understand
that
in
today’s
times,
staff
are
short,
quality
can
be
hit
or
miss,
and
people
are
trying
their
best.
But
there
is
NO
WAY
that
this
place
can
charge
its
customers
$22.99
for
that
buffet
and
service.
TL:DR
The
Watertable
is
overpriced,
under
staffed,
and
falls
extremely
short
on
delivering
a
quality
breakfast
buffet.
Families
look
elsewhere,
it’s
not
worth
it.
