It sucks, but it is what it is I guess. I'm at a CY now and luckily there is a Denny's right across the street.
I am not disputing your claim; however, the old buffet breakfast and having a bar are not mutually exclusive. Pre-bistro many CY's still had small bars in the lobby. That was the best of both worlds for me. The only think I like about the bistro breakfast is the Starbucks coffee. Everything else I have tried is overpriced and mediocre. I haven't and have no desire to try dinner in the bistro.
