    Seafood buffet

    My girlfriend's birthday is coming up next month, I know she loves a good seafood buffet. Any recommendations?

    Seafood buffet at The Star is famous. Not sure if you can book or not.

    Ah thanks. Photos look great on google. I'm thinking about Crown's as well.

    I have only tried the breakfast buffet at the Star when stayed there few years ago. Going by that experience you will not go wrong. Someone had also suggested Novatel in Botany also had the sea food buffet on Sundays. You could look up reviews online to decide.

    Check with the restaurant whether buffets are allowed at the moment. Self serve buffets and pandemics don’t mix.

    Star Harvest Buffet is definitely open for business.
    Seafood is Thursday to Sunday only.
    It is the one to go for.
    Endless high quality seafood and fresh.
    $89 per person is actually pretty reasonable.
    You will pay a lot more dining a la carte.

    Crown definitely has the wow factor with lobster and sashimi. Langham also great. Star is probably the best value.

    Yes they are. I wouldn't go near that, but hey it's a free country.

    Yes, I would second this one. The hotel has actually been renamed “Sheraton Grand, Sydney” after Marriott bought out Starwood. The buffet also meets NSW COVIDSafe regulations by having the staff serve you. You walk up to the buffet and tell the staff what you want. They will serve as much as you want onto a plate before handing it over to you. You can then keep going back asking for more. Shells and dirty plates are collected and cleared from your table as per usual.

    Place over in Manly that makes a really good seafood platter - nothing fried.

    Manly fish cafe? I think? Maybe not so top end but Manly is nice for a walk etc..

    I think this is a Quarantine Hotel at the moment as its always been Not Available to book on the Marriott website.

    Not sure if it’s a quarantine hotel. Maybe it stopped the quarantine side but isn’t ready to take bookings for rooms. I received a marketing email from them saying it is taking bookings for tonight (Friday 15-October)

    You can book here

    The Star is the way to go. I have only heard of positive things about the buffet.

    A few years ago I used to go regularly to the Astral room for buffet breakfast. My wife had a relative who worked for the casino and we could get vouchers for about $5.

    At first it was good, but over time they reduced the menu selections, eventually to the point where it was hardly worth going for.

    I'd noticed this trend at a lot of buffet places, even Sizzlers.

    Personally I think the Garden Buffet at the Sheraton on the Park was the best in Sydney. But haven’t been back since it became the Sheraton Grand or since the Pandemic started. Nevertheless, if the OP is planning to take the lady out for a nice treat, I don’t think the Star is the right place, try the Sheraton please.

    Agree if you were taking a girl out for an impressive romantic dinner then a buffet would not be the way to go.
    A nice a la carte restaurant would be more romantic.
    But the OP says his girlfriend loves a good seafood buffet, so she sounds like a down to earth girl, so The Star would be great for that.
    Also the pandemic has actually made buffets much nicer because they are much more civilised now, with staff serving you, so you are not wrestling with angry aunties going straight for the most expensive items
