Small Bites

Omira Bar & Grill

A big appetite is a must for the full effect of this member of the Brazilian buffet family. Diners who pay one price ($17.95 for lunch and $28.95 for dinner) are treated to a sumptuous salad bar with creative compositions of cold and hot vegetables, soups, breads and cheeses. Then comes the meat. And it comes. And comes some more. Waiters shuttle by with skewers loaded with lamb, filet mignon, pork, chicken and shrimp for starters—all cooked in the back on a rotisserie and available if you leave on the lamp at your table. Like yours rare or well done? Most meats are ready to go at the desired temperature, with one side cooked more thoroughly than the other. Chef specialties including “fusion dolmas” of marinated shredded beef in a spicy sauce. Turn the light back on when you see these come out of the kitchen. Skewers of pineapple glazed with sugary goodness and banana fritters on the buffet line serve as dessert, and don’t forget the wine.
