| - The wife and I visited this place today, 1/22/2018, after hearing about the renovation and changes. We have been to the )Palms many, many times over the last ten years or so. Eaten at the original buffet, Bistro Buffet and now the A.Y.C.E. It was great and the price is right on point. $43.00 for two of us including all taxes.
The place is brand spanking new and bright and cheery. Every employee we met was outgoing and friendly. Our table waitress, Nacine, was on top of her game. We were greeted quickly and drink orders taken. Through out our meal she checked on us many times to check on our status and to see if we needed anything else. Plates taken away quickly and table left neat for the next round.
Okay to the food. This buffet puts our smaller containers of food and therefore keeps everything much fresher. Items were replaced immediately. Here's the list of what we tried. We kept portions very small to try many different things. We had:
Duck with white bean, General Tso Chicken, Walnut shrimp, Mussells, falafel patties, tuna poke, salmon poke, shrimp cocktail, cerviche, lemon caper cod, blackened talipia, smoke bbq ribs, smoked brisket, pork meatball in creamy polenta, green papaya salad, Brussel sprouts,and then desert: lemon meringue, opera cake, sugar free pecan bar, cappuccino gelato, vanilla gelato, chocolate éclair, macaroons. All of the deserts were small in size, but packed with whopping flavors.
All of the fish dishes were moist and cooked to perfection, the cod was a little bland needing more salt. The big stand outs were the General Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, and all of the smoked meats, plus the entire desert bar area.
I've seen a couple negative reviews of this place and based on our experience I just don't know where they get the negative.
We have lived in this area for a good while now, 7 plus years, and this was just plain good food and done well with great employees. We even stopped one of the floor managers, Helen, and told her how pleased we were with the new A.Y.C.E.
Will definitely be back.
