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.
It depends on the type of buffet if we're discussing only breakfasts. If it's a continental breakfast, then usually, I won't opt for that. If it's a brunch buffet with all sorts of choices, I'll opt for the buffet, because I can sample a little of everything.

For example, if you go to brunch and are given the choice of ordering standard fare from a menu, or for $1 or $2 more than your selected menu item, are given the choice of the buffet that includes your selected item and several other options, you can have your selected item, but also sample many other items, without cost limitations.
