| - Apparently, this buffet seems to be the top contenders for best buffet in Vegas.
PRICE:
The Wicked Spoon is slightly less expensive for all meals, but your savings will amount to about $3 per person.
AMBIANCE and PRESENTATION:
I'm not sure what the theme of Wicked Spoon is. It has metallic ornaments hanging from the ceiling and I'm not sure what they're supposed to be or represent or how it compliments the name of "Wicked Spoon". The rest of the dining area is kind of dark and woodsy. Overall, the ambiance is kind of random and haphazard. But then because it is in Cosmo, the environment is kinda gorgeous.
However, the use of mini skillets and cups containing smaller portions of food. While I like this approach as a means of controlling the size of my portions, it gets annoying placing these items in my plate with other items. I have no idea how many people have touched those containers and I certainly don't want them touching my other foods. Additionally, those containers are bulky and take a lot of space on my plate.
FOOD VARIETY:
Lack of decent salad bars, which offered 2 choices of premade salads in small bowls. Which is okay for me because Im not really a salad girl. The appetizer/ hor'derve/ pre-meal area consisted mostly of different types of breads, small cups of shrimp cocktails (2 small shrimps per cup).
The breakfast station offered pancakes and french toast and then as I walked a half foot further I saw tacos and Mexican dishes. In between the breakfast and Mexican station was a section for toppings for both pancakes and tacos. As I mentioned before, Wicked Spoon was way too haphazard in its presentation and organization.
There was an Italian station where you could have a pasta cooked in front of you with your favorite ingredients by a chef. They also had an omelet station, crepe station, and panang station where you could also make the aforementioned items cooked to your specifications.
The Wicked Spoon offers a lot of meat at the meat station and they have large cuts of bacon, ham, sausage, lamb, prime rib, and Korean BBQ and some turkey thing covered in teriyaki sauce. They also had crappy sushi that I didn't touch and some Vietnamese Bahn Mi sandwiches, which I wasn't interested in because it was pork based. oh, they also have miso soup at this station.
Wicked Spoon offer a diverse and tasty variety of desserts. There's plenty of dessert pics so you can see for yourself what Wicked Spoon has to offer. I recommend the cheesecake. The cookies were rock hard and inedible. The gelato was mediocre.
SERVICE:
CONCLUSION:
The Wicked Spoon is all hype. I attribute the high reviews to a large number of female reviewers who enjoy trendy new things and tasty desserts. Overall, I was thrilled with the value and the variety of Wicked Spoon. I will clearly be coming here again, but for true seafood lovers, I can see them liking Bellagio, Wynn, or Sterling more. they don't seem to have my macarons and my chocolate cones!
