Very nice Seafood Buffet!

“We had the seafood buffet for dinner at The Benson, and it was absolutely amazing. For just $79, we indulged in all-you-can-eat mussels, prawns, bugs, and crab. The selection included three salads, a variety of cheeses, and good desserts like cake and fruit salad. Plus, we enjoyed a complimentary drink with our meal. This was the best value dining experience I've ever had!” view full review
