I love a good restaurant, especially one with a dessert buffet. A really good meal means we leave full and happy, but it doesn't end with the entree. Sometimes the part of a meal we look forward to most is also the most decadent: dessert! While we generally begin our meal with an appetizer, a salad, or a bowl of soup, we don't always have to follow that tradition. One look at this dessert buffet near me in Charlestown, and you might just want to mix things up a bit and start with a goody or two. Welcome to The Nordic in Charlestown, RI!
