| - wow. the coveted 5 star review. i dont give out these willy nilly....
especially for a buffet. i mean i think maybe outside of the M, the highest a vegas buffet would get from me was 4 stars... (and thats even after living in hednerson/green valley/silverado ranch/las vegas for 7 years before moving back to san diego)
here's why the wicked spoon stands out IMO -
the GRUB:
- tapas style portions! genius concept IMO - because you wont have those peeps at the buffet shoveling mounds of shrimp cocktail and mac n cheese like its going out of style - the portions are reasonably prepared, presented and tastefully done in deliciously satisfying tapas dishes. if you want more, you would need to get up and get another serving.... imagine that, an all you can eat buffet without peeps thinking that they should get it all on just one run...
- highlights: herb crusted tri tip, blackened cod fillets, korean bbq short ribs, angry mac n cheese, grilled corn cobettes, sushi, and shrimp cocktail shots
- desserts were awesome - my faves: chocolate dipped strawberries, gelato from the case, and petite dessert cups
- bottles spring water table side was a nice touch
the JOINT:
- clean and very modern art decor
- plenty of friendly staff to seat and serve you
- open kitchens
the SQUEEZE:
- $22 p/person on a saturday lunch. not bad at all! actually it pretty much is a steal for a vegas buffet of this caliber.
- cash and card accepted
- love its location at the cosmopolitan
FINAL SAY:
the very low price, the flavorful food, and the tapas concept and presentation are all ingredients IMO for a stellar vegas buffet experience - 5 stars!
