Thanks for the info re: Shapiro.
But back to the hotel buffet, I went to the seafood buffet at Embassy Suites Hotel tonight.  It's from 5pm to 9pm.  Price is $21.95.  The main attraction items are raw oysters and prime rib.  The seafood chowder was also okay, but kinda too thick.  Everything else, esp the two entrees:  Imperial Catfish and Breaded fried cod were very mediocre.  The catfish looked extremely stuffy.  There's a thick layer of bread crumb on the top, and the gravy was extra heavy creamy - basically, it's the kind of stuff that guarantees you're not going to be able to eat anything else after couple of bites of it.
So if you're a raw oyster or prime rib fan, go for it.  If not, I won't recommend it.
