| - For years we had gone to Wicked Spoon cause quite frankly, we have never walked out disappointed.
Prior to my last trip to Vegas, I scoured Yelp for Vegas Must Eats and although my heart was set on another Wicked visit, the reviews for Baccahanal compelled me to switch it up.
As expected, the wait was long at about 6PM and the staff moved the line as efficiently as they could. For an extra $20, you can bypass the wait, but considering the buffet was already $50++ , we opted to starve just a little bit longer. What I do like is that you check in, and they give you a time slot to return, and even shoot you a text, so that you arent in line for the 60+ minutes.
Once inside, we walked straight to the buffet lines and their selection was very impressive. All sorts of fou fou, rustic, traditional, new american type for as far as the eye can see and nose can smell. On my first run, I had two plates heaping with food, and everything from the meat carving station of course.
To my disappointment, however, they didn't offer the infamous rib eye. I was moreso saddened by its unavailability since my friends and reviews had it built up so much in my head. Nonetheless, they offered tri tip, ribs, lamb and prime rib.
I had a little bit of everything, and although nothing stood out to me as stellar, everything I ate was pretty good.
Love their dessert station too. Their options are abundantly confusing although their ice cream didn't come close to Wicked's in texture. Weird I know. Overall though, I nearly tried every single item in that station and was impressed.
Definitely glad I stepped out of my Wicked comfort zone since we all left happy and painfully plump.
