| - Long overdue for my semi-angry review... after reading all of the amazing reviews for Wicked Spoon and seeing the 700-some odd photos that people had posted on Yelp.com, I was persuaded to skip out on the Aria Buffet for something new.
The walk alone is a long one. Especially if you're a girl in heels! You will see a bunch of random artwork along the way until you hit the end of the road. THEN, the line was a good wait & once you thought you had gotten in, they made us wait until an actual table had opened up.
The food was good... it was my first time having ratatouille & I ended up liking it. I thought it was interesting that the servings were on separate miniature plates/pans - but it was difficult stuffing a bunch of food on your plate as room would quickly run out. After all of the photo clicking, I noticed how they had bone marrow, yet the afternoon I went, there was no bone marrow found. :( and it was one of the things I was REALLY looking forward to. (let down, man). I will say that the gelato was delicious and the mini desserts were so good looking and almost too pretty to eat.
Since the lady at the register did not ask if I wanted to purchase the champagne brunch, it wasn't until after we had been seated and I wondered if I were to just ask for one at the table that they would bring it. (silly me I suppose... but how was I supposed to know how the system worked if it was one of the first times I paid for a buffet, let alone it was a new one). From the time we were seated, I had waited a good long 5 minutes until someone came to get our drink order. I asked for a glass of champagne, the guy asked for my ID (handed it to him) - and mins later I had my drink. After that, it was like we weren't give any attention at all. We even had to grab our own salt and pepper from another table since the wait for someone to come by had taken so long. No one ever came back to re-fill or take plates away. I had to call a person to come over. I wanted a re-fill, yet this time it was a different waiter and this guy actually took our bill, looked at it and said, that we did not purchase a champagne brunch. I told him how we were never asked if we wanted to purchase one. He said it would be I think it was $15 extra if I wanted it now. (it was already towards the end of our time there anyways, so of course I said no).
It just sucked how we were treated there since the food was not bad. The dessert area was my favorite. Attentiveness is MUCH needed as no one seemed to pay attention & walked around like chickens with their heads cut off.
