"We have dined at the Boiler Room multiple times before attending an event. On our most recent visit, we arrived a bit late and were initially disappointed to find the buffet almost empty. However, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that we could order off the menu, even though we had never been offered this option before. Despite the limited menu, the dishes we ordered were all delicious. This time, two members of our group opted for menu items while two chose the buffet. The restaurant was not busy at all (as it was a small event) and there were plenty of excellent choices on the buffet. The menu offerings were also top-notch. We also discovered that the restaurant accepts reservations for event days, but only on the day of the event. This information will be useful for our next visit, especially if the event is sold out or nearly sold out. I would recommend making reservations and arriving early if you are interested in the buffet, as they tend to run out of food close to the event's start time. However, rest assured that everything is freshly prepared."
