This was an Italian buffet tonight at the Park Grill in University Park. Everything about it was excellent down to the gelato and tiramisu and cheesecake crème brûlée

Except for salads, no choices for vegans and only a pizza and/or salad for vegetarians. Sat there for a good 20 minutes before I finally corraled a wait person - except for the water pourer. Lunch for two took about 45 minutes to be served.

Service is excellent and food is very, very good. Always an enjoyable and delicious experience. The fresh catch is creatively prepared. The vegetarian item, vegetable strudel, was fantastic. Reliable wine selection.
