I have found the main dining room to be more relaxing. The menu gives you a good choice for dinner .... not so much for breakfast. I like having the same waiter.
The advantage of the buffet dining is that you can walk around and check out all the foods available, and you can bet that there is A TON OF CHOICES both in the variety of soups, salads, and main courses .... not to mention all those dreadfully fattening but delicious desserts.
You can also "dress down" for the buffet, and you can eat as quickly or as slowly as you want. The time allocated in the main dining room is usually about 90 minutes per set.
Both have their advantages, so try both and see which suits your mood.
