Just like every restaurant, bar & bathroom housed in The Cosmopolitan Hotel, the Wicked Spoon Buffet is decorated so avant-garde, so posh that you forget your own name just looking at its chandeliers.
I LOVE that food is pre-portioned in its own single-serve bowls & dishes. This eliminates my biggest fears about buffets: contamination from multiple hands touching ONE serving spoon & piling on portions I'll either waste (boooo!) or eat with reckless abandon (boooo x2!) Wicked Spoon keeps me in check!
My favorite eats were:
* crispy chicken with cabbage kim chee
* fried chicken
* shrimp & grits (I got two portions!)
* chocolate-covered strawberries
* pulled pork tostada
* red wine cheddar cheese
Other grub that I probably wouldn't repeat:
* short ribs: too fatty
* maple glazed pork loin
* macarons: tasted like meringue w/ jam inside. Not chewy enough.
* beignets w/ chocolate & raspberry sauces (cute presentation sitting in its own tiny deep fryer!)
* mushroom risotto
* all their desserts: gorgeous to look at (see pic), but taste was not worth ALL them calories.
The guys loved the hot crab legs & carved meats. $35 per person for dinner (no matter what day of the week.) The wait to be seated that Thursday night was no more than 10 minutes. Probably the only buffet I look forward to eating at again!
