| - Yes, this place has set a new standard for buffet.. Food wise.. but as for service and everything else.. had to take a star away.. sorry.
I had came here twice and was able to see if anything had changed. The line, no. It is estimated that if you start at the back where the sign is, that is about 1.5 to 2 hrs. I waited once and paid an extra $15 the other time.
On to the food. Many items are a hit and some aren't. Lets start with the good ones: Crab legs, HUGE! They do have cold and warm ones, chefs are prepared with them as you come by. Oysters are a hit, but you have to grab them while you can. Sorry, NO LOBSTER.. Deceiving since they have a lobster on display near the front. I had the lamb and ribeye.. AMAZING! We had a debate about how lamb should taste with my group and it was interesting about the smell, taste, tenderness and it hit A+ on all three. Smelled good because it was cooked correctly, tasted wonderful and leaves you mouth with a sweet taste afterwares (we suspect that it's honey).. and no knife needed which means tender! The shrimp arent like other places (cocktail), this are man shrimps, big and firm. I heard good things about ceveiche and it is true.. Very well made. This is dinner.
During brunch: I like the fresh juices they have in the bottles in the front. I had like 10. Sorry.. I would pass on the melon juice.. very light. Red velvet pancakes.. OMG.. it's actually perfect the way it is, don't add syrup. Their burger sliders are a miss.. Very dry. Asian food: I enjoyed the lobster bistro soup they had, but the dim sum was okay. I enjoyed the ham crossants they had in the Italian section and the different cheeses they had. Remember, during brunch, you do get MIMOSAS! It's part of your meal, do take advantage of it..
Many of the misses was from the dessert bar. Maccarons were not as good, not to mention that they just throw them into a pile and they crack. They had this cake with a pipet sticking into it as a fushion cake and that was terrible (cake was hard and the fusion didn't go in all the way). The fresh suflet they have in the oven are very well made.. I like how its very moist and soft (caution, extra hot). The taramiso shooter glass, it was good (not too sweet). They have a crepe station, they make it pretty darn good, different berries to choose from with toppings. The gelato is excellent, they have unique flavors including such "spicy chocolate, baklava, watermelon mint, caramel delight, etc" I thought they were pretty good except for the watermelon mint (weird combination).
Reason for me taking one star away, is the service:
Sadly, both times, it has been pretty bad. First time, our server did not approach us until 20 mins into our meal (dying of thirst from your food!). Not to mention that I had to wave her over everytime my drink was on empty. Second time, they sat 5 of us at one of the round tables that was very tight and sadly, we ate very fast so the plates piled up all over the center.
The place gets overwhelmed by the number of guests, but they have not gotten the idea of getting more help. I know it's not the servers fault, but it's management. Servers are nice and sweet, but lack since they are under staffed.
