| - Disclaimer: 5 stars doesn't mean it's perfect. But WS is better IMO than even the Bellagio and Wynn buffets for their cute presentation and good service, so they get my extra star.
WS is inside the Cosmopolitan and sets itself apart with contemporary preparations, in many cases, already portioned out in adorable ramekins or mini saucepans.
The service: excellent. Our server brought us drinks quickly, filled out water glasses with the filtered water bottle at our table, and our plates were removed immediately after we were finished. The non-alcoholic drinks btw are included in the price.
Tip: The wine comes from a high tech vending machine! You'll see all e bottles and put a glass underneath. The price is displayed on an LCD.
Standouts: (sorry not official names..I was too busy drooling to pay attention to the real names)
- stuffed gnocchi with some sort of lamb sauce, served in adorable mini saucepan
- butternut squash ravioli (also in cute saucepan)
- snow crab legs (already cut so no cracker needed)
- donuts (served in mini basket strainer) the man making them hot and fresh told us to wait for the new hot batch to come out of the fryer. Comes with either chocolate or raspberry dipping sauces.
- array of salads, pre-measure in white ceramic bowls. BLT salads, arugula and beet salads...even Thai noodle salad, refreshing.
- dessert section...tiny shooter sized cups and bowls of croissant bread pudding, molten chocolate cake, fudge, marshmallows, gelato station, fresh fruit, berries and cream...mini pecan pies...I could go on and on.
- Kalbi ribs...yes, a bit salty and fatty, but hit the spot
- compressed melons...melon pieced infused with other juices and mint
Not so standout:
-pretzel rolls, kinda hard and not fresh
- like some reviewers say...the Asian section of dumplings were kind of hard and pasty, the sushi underwhelmed
- turkey with some kind of pepper glaze, a bit dry and unappetizing
Bottom line, some creative dishes, nice setting, most taste very fresh and stations are well-maintained.
Dinner is 35 bucks, and for the amount of food...it's well worth the price.
PS: I don't care if they designer or what...the gray plaid a-line dresses the ladies working the floor wear are hideous! They look like dark tablecloths from Little House o the Prairie.
