Things have definitely changed at The Mountain View Restaurant and it's not for the better. The mains are still good at the buffet but all the extras that they had before are no longer. The specials during lunch at the kitchen window are gone. The continental selection at breakfast as shrunk and the deserts that use to be their signature don't exist anymore. I was disappointed that they don't have those delicious fruit crumbles and cobblers to go with the ice cream. The cakes and pastries and sundae bar still exist but what happened to the cobbler? Speaking of ice cream, I was really disappointed that I went later in the night for dinner and they ran out of ice cream. That never happened before. The food was still good but it's those little bit extras that are no longer there that doesn't make this place as special. The staff were great as usual. Always there with a smile.
