They choose should have not been paired together. overall, with the exception of the salad bar and dessert table the Chinese buffet and the prime rib was quite good. Red jello, whipped cream, sugar free cupcakes, & pear spice cake. The dessert table at the Quinault Beach Resort was an absolute joke consisting of four items. The dessert table is usually the favorite stop for most diners. I overheard other diners complain of the same thing. I would have preferred a slice medium rare but there was none to be had. My only complaint was the rest of the prime rib was over cooked for my taste. My wife had the end cut which she enjoyed.
In actuality the prawns were nothing more than small shrimp! Next came the prime rib, it was actually quite good, flavorful and tender. The last steam table was rather humorously named 'spicy chili prawns'. Next comes the Chinese buffet, 6 or 7 steam table selections of basic Chinese food. Let's start with the salad bar, a bowl of lettuce next to a selection of dressings. Here, the prime rib while tender and tasty is served as part of a Chinese buffet.
But not at the Quinault Beach Resort Prime Time buffet.
For me, a Prime Rib buffet conjures up images of juicy prime rib nestled next to mash potatoes and gravy, sautéed vegetables, and the rest. This is not your typical Prime Rib buffet and should be disclosed by the propietors.
