| - The Wicked Spoon Buffet tends to carry about itself a little different than all of the other buffets in Vegas.
I went here on a Friday for the Lunch buffet, two days after the grand opening. Price for lunch was about $19 a person. Upon first look, you'll notice that this place is pretty classy for a buffet; all the way down to the plates, glasses and silverware. Not surprising, considering how over the top the Cosmopolitan already is.
Food isn't as common as you'd see in other buffets. In attempts to "class it up" most food is portioned for you, meaning that you won't be slopping food down on your plates. Instead, you'll be going around picking up smaller plates/dishes and possibly scooping some veggies on your plate. This seemed to work, seeing that my plate hardly ever looked messy. In other buffets, my plate always looked like a multicultural plate of diarrhea piled high to my choosing. I always felt like I was eating a classy meal here with each serving.
In conjunction with most buffets around Vegas, you'll be getting foods from varying cultures. There's the Asian, Italian, Mexican, American, and Middle Eastern influences. You'll notice that the chef's put their own little touch on each entrée to make their dishes a little unique. Whenever I got meat from the carving stations, it did seem pretty dry and flavorless. The rest of the food here never blew my mind, but they weren't bad either.
The dessert station was the highlight of the entire buffet. Offering selections such as homemade fudge, crepes, giant chocolate dipped strawberries, and gelato, it was hard to go wrong with anything here.
There was one little pet peeve though, in which I was told was going to be fixed soon. None of the food was labeled. I was often guessing what I was eating most of the time. You'd have to ask the chef what an item is to truly know what you're eating. It was a bit of a pain to ask the a chef whenever I walked up to a new item.
If the food was labeled and the meat wasn't so dry, this would be a 4.5 star review. I really absolutely loved the atmosphere that the Wicked Spoon does to set itself apart from the traditional Vegas buffet. The buffet is still new, so changes and justifications are probably still going to happen. I do hope that food will also improve over time. A lot of the meats just seemed to be overcooked. Overall, I was satisfied with my buffet experience. I may drop by again to try out their dinner in the future after the place settles for a bit.
