I don't think this buffet is for everyone, but it's definitely for ME!!! Oh how I dream of going back... and going back OFTEN!
I would say if you are the kind of person that likes to go to a buffet to load your plate up with a mountain of fried shrimp or other standard buffet items, you won't like this place.
Buf if you are the kind of person who likes to try all kinds of different foods, made in all kinds of different ways... this will be your kind of place! Nothing here is just "plain." The polenta isn't just polenta. It's "creamy mushroom and marscapone polenta." The stromboli isn't just stromboli. It's "pulled pork stromboli with roasted red peppers." The scalloped potatoes are "scalloped potatoes baked in a rich truffle sauce." You get the idea.
So if those kinds of things intimidate you, rather than excite you.... The Wicked Spoon isn't for you. The last time my husband and I were there, as we were walking out, a couple who was also leaving turned to us with disgusted looks on their faces and said "Did you like that?" We responded "yes" and they shook their heads and said "yuck. We didn't."
So it's obviously not for everyone, but I can tell you that if you have adventurous taste buds and like to try a little bit of everything.... you won't be disappointed.
