Water's Edge

Frommer's Review

Frankly, we prefer the buffet station at the also-recommended Marketplace, but if you're looking for a buffet venue where ongoing displays of seafood are the main appeal, this fits the bill. Three 4.5m (15-ft.) waterfalls splash into an artificial lagoon just outside the dining room's windows. Huge chandeliers illuminate the room, which has views of an open kitchen where a battalion of chefs create a nightly seafood buffet. And if you're in the mood for pasta and pizza, they're here, but for the most part garnished with (guess what?) seafood. Depending on the night, some of the dishes are better than others, but almost universally, the lavish displays of fresh shellfish from the raw bar will include 6-ounce lobster tails, stone crab claws, more shrimp than you can cope with, and, when they're in season, fresh raw oysters. The main problem here is that the food has a hard time competing with the ambience. If you've already sampled the Marketplace, you might have already had enough buffets, at least for a while.
