These are not just your average starters; they’re a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that prepare you for the main course to come.
Imagine savoring the hearty flavors of acorn squash bisque with smoked
ham hock and maple crème fraiche or delighting in a refreshing, healthy option like a roasted pulled chicken salad with grilled artichokes, olives, and a palate-cleansing white balsamic dressing.
Holiday Hors d’oeuvres
Moving forward, the buffet unveils a captivating charcuterie display of local and international cheeses, complemented by a tropical fruit medley.
Here, you can savor the likes of mango and ginger Stilton, Manchego, and triple cream St. André. Paired with seasonal melons, berries, pineapple, mango, papaya, mandarin, and cracked coconut, it’s a sensory journey that showcases the world’s finest treasures.
The edible adventure continues with the antipasto display, where marinated artichokes, asparagus, olives, fresh pesto mozzarella, and heirloom tomatoes take the spotlight.

Carb lovers will be transported to a Christmas spent in the hills of Italy with our pasta station, harnessing endless opportunities for culinary delight.
Florentine shells with a fragrant vanilla pesto cream sauce and parmesan cookies are sure to appease.
For someone with a more exotic palate, the 98Forty station serves up Florida yellowtail tiradito, beautiful slices of raw fish served with Peruvian corn and a spicy, citrusy Leche de Tigre sauce.
Even the little ones have their own special corner at the Christmas buffet, with crispy chicken tenders, mac and cheese, buttered corn, and mini meatball mozzarella in tomato sauce.
Hot Christmas Buffet Entrées
The hot buffet takes center stage, where the show-stopping entrées reside such as a carved prime rib of beef with a zesty horseradish sour cream, or a roast honey Dijon pork loin topped with earthy forest mushrooms and a flavorful Dijon cream sauce , just to name a few.
