    Buffet Sunday Brunch

    Not impressed. Everything inside was sticky: table tops, floors, even the bathroom walls. Buffet was OK. But servers when changing fruit platters used ungloved hands to move fruit slices to new platter. Was not impressed.

    Ate here on trip to see the aspens in color. Good wait staff with menu selection. Watched our table but was not obtrusive. Food was good and portion size was about right. Will eat here again if in Gunnison.
