Rob and a few other people arrived, so I went to hold a table (open seating all over the place, so it was hard to find seats) and the guys went to bring back appetizers. The fried shrimp was average, the chicken satay was strange, the wok-fried veggies were boring, the stuffed peppers were good, the Korean beef was GREAT.
After sampling the different appetizers, I pioneered our table's trip to the buffet line. It was a long wait, and there weren't many choices (prime rib, carved turkey, salmon, orzo, roasted vegetables, sliced potatoes in a cream sauce, and ciabatta rolls). I tried everything but the prime rib (which the guys definitely had plenty of)... the salmon was very plain, the turkey was fatty, the rolls were fresh, and the potatoes were delicious.
Dessert was a chocolate fountain with a bunch of dippables (no pound cake or bananas tho) and some petit fours. The chocolate mousse was good, the white gingerbread was strange, and the tiramisu went heavy on the Kahlua. Otherwise, nothing notable in the petit four department.
We spent a little time dancing, but it was rather crowded up there and the night wound down fast. We both meant to have someone take our photo (Jonathan was in suit-and-tie, I had a new holiday dress on), but we forgot until we were home and I had already changed clothes and taken down my hair. It was a good time, and quite a bit more fun than the last holiday office party we went to. The only strange thing was that, since the place was so sectioned, there were no overall announcements or door prizes or anything like that.
