| - Let me start by saying that I am not much of a buffet fan because 1 You feel like you're forced to eat your money's worth, 2 The freshness of food is rare because it sits out in warmers for who knows how long, 3 The drinks that are normally included are standard cheap drinks such as water, juice and coffee. Last but not least, 4 Desserts always seem the same. However, Studio B which is:
LOCATED in the M Resort on the south side of Vegas, sheds a little light for me and here is why:
My friends and I came for the seafood brunch. The selection was pretty much what I was expecting. Your standard crab legs, variety of sushi, oysters, shrimp and so forth. They also had prime rib. I give props to the crab legs which was pretty fresh and the prime rib which was satisfactory. I wasn't impressed with the other stuff as the quality and freshness just wasn't there. Overall, the food was okay but eating your money's worth without unbuttoning your pants wasn't a problem because it's seafood. Here is where it gets good.
The DRINKS that were included were different from your normal buffets. - They had beers on tap! Can you believe that? Now of course it's not self serve but I still think that's awesome. I don't quite remember the different brands of beer but I do know they had a cider flavor which was pretty good. They serve wine as well. It was the first time I ever left a buffet buzzing. They also had a coffee station where you can order espressos and other specialty coffee drinks. Like a mini Starbucks. I didn't try it but it sure looked cool.
The desserts were pretty standard here with your variety of bite size cakes, creme brulee's, fruit tarts and so forth. But! they got a GELATO station! I don't remember all the flavors at the time but I do know they had around 8 to 10 different flavors. I tried the pistachio and strawberry. Both were delicious.
The SERVICE here was standard for a buffet. We didn't run into any problems. I must say that I was impressed with the employees manning the beer, coffee and gelato stations. They were pretty quick at handling the lines.
This place is around 3.5 for me but I will round to a 4 stars for the overall experience and value.
