| - Vegas used to be a place to get a good buffet for really cheap...it's hard to find those places now. We decided to check out the Buffet at Aria. My mister's iPhone had run out of juice, so I didn't know what rating this place was getting...so I tried it without and bias. They were serving brunch and the price wasn't too bad, $23, but you can add $5 for bottomless champagne/mimosa...of course I added the bubbly. The place was spacious and well lit since it had huge windows with views of the pool area. They had a lot of food choices, but I always judge the buffet based on the seafood selection. Here's the breakdown:
GOOD:
-touch screen menus in the front (cool factor)
-king crab legs (which you can request them to steam them for you...a must!)
-oysters
-shrimps (cocktail style and chinese style (fried with skin on)
-lamb chops
-gelato
-macarons
-strawberries (sweet just like it was freshly picked from the Oxnard farm)
OKAY
-prime rib was decent, nothing to die for
-champagne was ok, didn't really pair well with the OJ, or maybe the OJ wasn't freshly squeezed.
-crepes, eggs benedict, omelette station
UGLY
-Although our waitress was nice, she was slow to come around to get our drink order and get check on us.
-Sauces were located in wierd spots, gravy was next to the asian food.
-limited sushi selection
Overall, the buffet wasn't bad for the price, but I've had better.
