| - My rating is a 3.5. I'm rounding up because of the great service we got from the server.
We came here for lunch the day after Thanksgiving. The place itself is beautiful for a casino. The trendy orange lamps. high irregular acoustic ceiling to help disperse smoke, and earth tone carpets and unusual chair colors makes this a quirky and contemporary place. Though I love today's music, their muzak system plays sing a long classic hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They know that the 30-60 year olds got the cash.
The buffet is smack dab in the middle of the casino. The cost per person at lunch is $10, but they gave us a discount for $2 off if we return in December. We hope to go after Christmas, and that there won't be as many people burping, slurping, and inhaling their food.
I guess that's a good sign when people in several tables don't talk and just get serious eating.
It's clean and spacious. Some dishes, like any buffet looked dry and limp, like some of the melons, salads, and veggie dishes They had a nice station for prime rib and ham. My brother got a great looking piece of rare prime rib, just like he orders when in a steak restaurant. However, the meat was cold because the server cuts a large piece from the roast from which he cuts other pieces. I asked for the rarest slice he could give me, but that slab was medium well. Also there were only two seafood dishes, shrimp and veggies and a poached tilapia dish.
Then, I took a lot of time to look at every section - Salad Bar, American, Chinese, BBQ, Mexican, and Desserts. I was very picky but really enjoyed what I got. The sweet vinegar cabbage salad was kind of plain but fresh, the Chinese veggies had baby bok choy, Chinese peas, cabbage, and carrots that was just freshly put out. The rice pilaf was buttery with pieces of peas and carrots but no browned noodles. The collard greens with bacon wasn't quite like Johnny Rebs, but it was decent. Their best veggie was the moist and sweet baked in skin yams.
Then I hit the desserts, and opted for the pumpkin ice cream and spumoni. I also got one of these mini tiramisu cups. Not bad. They had many kinds of pies and cakes, including some that were no sugar added. Their display case looked pretty good.
The whole time the server was quick to take out dirty plates and bring drink refills - they didn't ask you, they just brought them.. Overall, I enjoyed eating, being with family, and hearing classic hits. Some of the items didn't look that great, but I enjoyed what I did get. It was sweet that after lunch, my relatives won money in the penny machines...enough to pay for the lunch we had twice over.
