| - Jasmine has now been added to the list of "special" Sunday brunches in Las Vegas. More upscale than one of the massive buffets, with better service, decor, and quality (and a higher price point), Jasmine also has the benefit of location- situated directly in front of the fountains of Bellagio with floor to ceiling windows allowing diners to be treated to a show as they ate.
I wish that I'd been able to try a few more items, but what I did try was good. Not amazing, but good. I enjoyed the shrimp dumplings, the prime rib, the Peking duck and buns, I LOVED the nutella and banana French Toast (no syrup necessary), and the shrimp, oysters, and mussels were very fresh and tasty. I wasn't as crazy about the crab legs, and the lobster pot pie was not what I expected. The lobster benedict was good, not great. I didn't have an opportunity to try many of the Asian offerings or the omelette station.
The dessert room (yes, an entire room devoted to sweets), also didn't quite blow me away. There was a chocolate fountain with all sorts of items for dipping, as well as a variety of ice cream/sorbet along with plenty of little pastries. I liked the creme brulle and the "shot" of chocolate cheesecake.
If I wanted to impress on a Sunday, I'd certainly consider Jasmine's brunch buffet. Hopefully, next time I will be able to sample of few more of their offerings.
