| - "Eh" is all I have to say.
Located inside the Cosmopolitan hotel next to Rose. Rabbit. Lie. We came here for my bf's bday dinner. $38 per person, $56 if you wanted unlimited wine or beer. There was no line on a Wednesday night so we were seated in about 10 minutes.
The layout is beautiful. Warm and inviting. There were crystal decorations hanging from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. There's even a glass jar of water at your table so you won't have to ask the server for more water refills. Our server's name was Vladimir and he was on top of his game. Clearing our used plates and refilling our iced teas.
The food on the other hand was the reason for the low stars. They offer small portions, which is great because then you get to sample everything instead of loading up on certain things. For some reason, I ended up eating a lot of salads. A wedge salad, Cesar salad, beats salad, papaya salad, ceviche (kind of a salad)...you get the picture. The salads were very fresh and flavorful though. I just wasn't blown away by the actual hot food items. The only hot food items I remember picking up were tacos, chicken wings, bone marrow, and soup. Nothing stood out as "omg I need to get more of this." And the chicken wings smelled like arm pit. The bf did enjoy the prime rib and spicy sausage.
As for the dessert bar, very underwhelming. They had chocolate covered strawberries, macarons, gelato and a few other pastries. I tried everything since I have the biggest sweet tooth. I felt bad because almost all the desserts I picked up went to waste. I took one bite and didn't like any of it. I have to say I did enjoy the chocolate covered strawberries and the pistachio gelato. I even got seconds of them.
All in all, I like trying new places to eat. But if I were to eat at a buffet again, I'd just stick with Bacchanal at Ceasar's Palace.
