Christmas Day Buffet

We decide to take girls to stay at hotel Christmas Day night (our tradition every year) at the Hilton Suites in Markham. Having been there a few times and looking at last years menu for the restaurant we decided to make a reservation for the Christmas Day Buffet Dinner. We were driving 2 hours in and made reservation for 6pm as it started at 530pm and we wanted to miss that first rush when they open. Well that didn't help. It was set up at their regular buffet area in restaurant with additional items, carved meats/ ravioli station/ and desserts in the hallway by restaurant. It was way too crowded. Especially since we later went for a walk and still saw the banquet area behind restaurant all set up. I assume they had Christmas Morning buffet there. We waited in line for quite a bit of time. Not that I didn't expect that but it could have been lessened by having it in banquet area with double sided tables rather than single sided tables For the price we paid, 65$ each adult and $32 for each child. Especially when your charging kids $32 for them to wait in line because we all know that's what kids love. Was the price worth the food serve, possibly there was seafood (cold), a variety of desserts, antipastos and salads plus your usual hot buffets foods. Just so disappointed about the cost when we could have gone somewhere a little more exciting and probably gotten a better meal for the same price and less waiting in line so we could have actually enjoyed the meal all together as a family.
