But I do think the Bristol Lounge is an excellent choice for the evening you described. They don't have a dessert buffet per se (the waiter brings over a dessert tray, and when you make your choice, he/she retrieves your selection from a buffet-type setup), however, they do have a lot to choose from. The Bristol Lounge is my favorite place for dessert, drinks, and conversation -- the couches are comfy and there essentially is no dress code (you get excellent service whether you're dressed in jeans or formalwear).
