| - My sister had raved about the Wicked Spoon, so it was on the top of the list of Vegas buffets I had to try. Last time, the mister came out here, the line was hella long, so his experience was a little tainted. For my first time, I wanted to make sure that we got their early so we can avoid the lines.
The buffet opens at 8AM on Saturdays, so tried to get there when it first opened. We arrived past 9AM and I was scared to find a huge line awaiting us, but luckily there was none. We were seated right away.
I love the decor. Very modern. It didn't feel like a typical buffet. They had very creative menu selections like corned beef hash eggs benedict, salted caramel pancakes, gnocchi, and very cool desserts like berry fudge. I also liked how some of the food is served in cute small individual pans and their fried chicken in a wire basket. The food quality was really good, but I am not giving Wicked Spoon 5 stars because they didn't offer many seafood selections. Crab legs and oysters would be nice. Also, if you want mimosas, it's $8 extra, but they didn't tell me that until after I was seated and the waiter asked what we wanted to drink. So, they had to give us another check before we left. They should charge for that when we first paid.
Service was okay. Even though our waiter was nice, It took awhile to get refills on our mimosas and coffee.
Also, now that I have a baby, I have another criteria I look for in restaurants...diaper changing stations in the restrooms. You'd be surprised how important this feature is until you have kids. Fortunately, they have a family restroom w/ a changing station near the front entrance of the restaurant. They don't have changing station in the restroom inside the restaurant, which I thought was a huge oversight.
Overall, Wicked Spoon is one of the better Vegas buffets out there. Just make sure you get there before 10AM on the weekends because when we got out at 11A, the line was pretty long.
