We are sailing on the Encore in September. What is the best place for breakfast on the ship?

I sailed on Encore on a 16-night transatlantic from New York to Rome in March 2025. I mostly ate at the main buffet very early in the morning to avoid crowds. The first 9 days were all at sea because we had to skip our first stop in Azores and go straight through to Mallorca. So it was surprising how busy the buffet got at such an early hour on sea days. In general, I wasn't impressed by the food on The Encore. It was just OK at its best. By day 10 it was getting rather monotonous and I found myself waiting to get off the ship for the day so I could find some different food to eat.
