There are few buffets that I will even try. I must say kudos to Wicked Spoon for trying to bring high end dishes to a buffet setting. I enjoyed the plating of the items which is unlike any other buffet here. However, much of my food was cold (when it shouldn't be) I would speculate because they probably do not preheat the plates and personal size serving pans prior to plating the food thus the food immediately starts to cool down. Also, the "fries with eyes" was greasy (and cold) indicative that they did not heat the oil enough.
However, I will say I was impressed that they had bone marrow! and prime rib bones - yum. The variety of food was also good, I enjoyed the artichoke hearts with truffle risotto. The gnocchi with lamb ragu left something to be desired, while the ragu in itself was tasty, the gnocchi was the consistency of balls of mashed potatoes.
Hands down, and quite frankly what pushes this from 3 1/2 stars to 4 stars for me is the dessert bar. The tiny chocolate waffle cone filled with some sort of coffee and chocolate filling with gold flake was heavenly, as was the chocolate covered strawberries.
As to service, our server although nice was a bit lacking. It took us strategically placing our plates on the edge of the table for her to finally clear them off despite passing our table numerous times.
Overall I think I would rather pay the few extra dollars though and go to the Wynn buffet.
