My brother insisted that I try this buffet and so I did. I was waiting on my parents and we got to the buffet around 8pm...the host told me there would be a 45 minute wait....I was hungry but it was up to my parents if they wanted to wait - and they didn't mind - however during the time I was asking them, I let this group of four go ahead of me - and I guess I was lucky because one of the girl from that group gave me a receipt or birthday voucher of some kind that cut my waiting time in half. So I have her to thank for that and we got in line to go in right after.
We still had to wait in line for about 20 minutes - there was this other line that they opened up next to us and they kept letting the people from that line in immediately - I was thinking they were either guest of the hotel or some kind of VIP because they got this black placard with a diamond on it - looks important. The hostess was reassuring me that I would get our table soon - and after 15 people went in from the other line and 20 minutes later we finally got our table right in front of the steamed crab legs - perfect for my parents because that's pretty much what they eat.
This buffet was truly amazing in it's selection of foods. There biggest section was Seafood, Asian and Desserts- they had so much seafood choices, I wish I had a big enough stomach to try everything.
The meats that I've tried - lamb chop was tender and juicy but the beef ribs were a tad chewy and the pork ribs were really dry. All the seafood that I tried (oysters, crab legs, cocktail shrimp and mussel) were fresh and appropriately prepared. I also had a beef slider - tasty! a few of the sushi rolls and salad.
Overall the food was very fresh and you see them refill it with a fresh batch of food as it runs low. Lots of there food actually do run low so it's a good sign - some buffets have food that sits there for a while but I didn't see that happening here. I didn't eat a whole lot of desserts since I was already really full with the savories - but I did have room for a macaroon, mango pudding and creme brulee. Yummy Yummy definitely filled my tummy that night. This buffet is fairly new so we'll have to wait a couple of years to see if it will go downhill - but at $50 a person I really hope not. I've been to both Bellagio's and Wynn's and they were great before too but the quality has gone down a notch.
