I feel like the quality at Wicked Spoon, like all other buffets, has gone down with time. I'm looking at old pictures of the food and don't see any of that when I go nowadays. For a $43/person dinner, I expect a larger variety.
AMBIANCE
I like that the layout of the restaurant is very spaced out so you don't feel cramped and can't tell that there are a lot of people inside. It also makes for more walking = more digesting = more food. The buffet counter itself is actually not that long, compared to other buffets in Vegas. Everything is very clean and comfortable and I like that the plates are warmed.
FOOD
The food has progressively gotten less interesting and more salty. I have not seen bone marrow served here in recent months, even though earlier photos show that it used to be served. The dessert counter has also shrunk in variety and creativeness. I definitely do not see desserts now that are shown in the 2010 photos.
Some of the main dishes have gotten rather salty, and I think this is because they want you to fill up on water.
SERVICE
On my most recent trip here, the service was bit slow to take our plates away. Multiple people at my table had stacks of empty plates and we had to push them into the center of our circular table to get them out of the way. Other than that, there's really nothing else to complain about. The ladies at the front are always very nice and friendly.
OVERALL
Wicked Spoon used to be pretty good, but has sadly declined in quality in recent years. I really hope they start upping their game again, because they're about to lose a long-time customer to the other big-name buffets.
