| - Came here for the brunch buffet. On a Sunday morning at around 10:30 am, it was crowded. Crowd was all sorts including families with kids, couples, large groups, and party goers eating before the day clubs. Service was spotty, but when served was nice. Relative to Bacchanal, the selection is limited. The stars were the AYCE bone marrow and the Ox-Tail Pho. Other than those two, everything else was mediocre. Bone marrow was savory, fatty, and simply decadent. I made my own sauce concoction that consisted of horseradish, onion, and cilantro, and it made an already yummy dish even better. The Ox-Tail Pho was one of the best pho soups I've had in my lifetime. The ox-tail broth brought an enhanced beef flavor and the accompanying basil, jalapenos, green onions, and raw sprouts calmed the broth back to what you would expect from pho.
The dessert bar, carving station, salads, and other dishes simply tasted average. The fried chicken was dry and the blue cheese wedge salad was no better than any other salad buffet. The scrambled egg with creme fraiche was soft and creamy, and I would eat this again if I ever came back. The dessert selection was limited, but the above average gelato station somewhat made up for it.
Overall, an average buffet at best with some notable dishes. More like a 3.5 star buffet.
