If you were expecting a reasonably priced buffet with amazing food, then Bellagio Buffet might not be for you. We had a party of 9 for Saturday night, so after tip (automatic gratuity) and a drink it was $45 per person. Not cheap at all. Don't expect five-star food but the ambiance was OK. There are plenty of other dinner options in vegas for this price. The lunch here is going to be a better value for you. I will give it 3.5 stars for now. I was really really contemplating going to Craftsteak at the MGM instead and I was kind of regretting it half way through the buffet. At least we didn't have to stand in line.
Dislikes:
Spicy ahi poke that was way, way, way too spicy.
Kobe beef roast that was dry and gamey. In fact it was gross. A slice of angus beef would have been way better.
Cramped seating. They put our group on the left side in a narrow area. Come on it's the Bellagio.
So so service.
Likes:
Osso bucho-The ingredients were extremely hearty and flavorful. The bone was left in to remind you what you were eating. They get 5 stars for attempting this dish.
Creme Brulee had a nice texture and wasn't too sweet.
The tiramisu had a mousse-like texture with plenty of coffee goodness on the bottom packaged in an edible chocolate cup.
The cocktail shrimp were clean, fresh, and not overcooked.
Lobster ravioli-Yes there was definitely lobster meat inside.
