We may be rather sensitive... since we've been eating relatively
low-salt for years...  Other people seemed to be enjoying their meals...
but, that could have been deceiving, after all we didn't grouse loudly
or complain to staff...  :)

I suspect that the buffets we go to have a higher grade of seafood than
most... haven't found cafes that have what we'd want around here,
either.

Interesting selection.  Mimosa sounds intriguing, to be sure.  :)  We
probably have a Loatian restaurant somewhere here, though I haven't come
across any yet.  We have lots of pretty good Indian restaurants, and a
good Cantonese restaurant (possibly others as well, but haven't been
looking for any others) where we regularly go for dimsum as a treat.

That sounds interesting.  We had something similar, I forget what it was
called, that was over in the complex with college apartments and the
Barnes and Noble for RIT... it had very good food, but apparently wasn't
able to keep up with the higher rents there, as it closed.  We went
there more than a couple of times... it's been gone for a few years now.
