Breakfast was pastries, cereal, fruit, juice, coffee, tea.
Drinks throughout the day were soft drinks and lemonade.
Afternoon break was fruit and granola...healthy snack stuff
Hors d'oeuvres were cheese plate, antipasta platter, rolls, a hot dish such as pasta and cold salads
Sweets were cookies and other types of desserts.

We were just there this weekend, and agree with damo above except for the evening Hors d'oeuvres.
First day was Asian -- pot stickers (dumplings), spring rolls, and fried chicken on a stick. Very tasty food, but nothing you'd consider a "main course." (like the hot dish of pasta that was mentioned.)
Second day Italian -- potato croquettes, basil-chicken on a stick, and something like french fries -- also very tasty.
Last day Mexican -- queadillas with cheese, peppers, and onions, jalepeno poppers, and nachos with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. We didn't try the food because of an early dinner rezzie, but it looked good.
In addition to these lists, there was always cheese and crackers, and raw veggies and dip, along with white and red wine (both were good, but I'm not a conniseur), and a few different varieties of beer.
Breakfast I'd add bagels to the list above.
Desserts were almost always just cookies, except one day they had canolis and bite sized tiramasu (both great.)

They always have sodas out, but you need to ask for bottled waters.

Overall, we were pleased with the selections.

That's interesting! When we stayed in club, it was always an Italian theme. That was about 2 years ago though.

Yeah, we remembered people posting they could make a dinner from the selections. Now that would be tougher to do, it's really just appetizers. This way might be more kid-friendly though, since it was mostly fun finger-foods. (But we don't have kids and enjoyed it.)
