Selection at a buffet is a draw.. the continental if very few selections which happens rarely, I ordered a la carte..
So at Fairmont Newport I ordered Eggs Benedicts a la carte 3 days in a row.. Can't remember the last time I ordered a la carte.. but there was literraly nothing left on the continental the days I was interested.. eventually brought out more food so I could feed the kids.
