| - Went there on the Sunday "seafood" buffet. Great price for a "seafood" buffet. But what exactly makes a buffet a "seafood" buffet??? The Rio hotel has a "seafood" buffet which is about twice the cost of this buffet... But for a good reason - it has hot and cold crab, lobster, fresh juicy oysters, sushi, sashimi, and the list goes on...
The Paradise "Seafood" Buffet is nothing more than a standard buffet with fresh oysters and about 3 kinds of sushi added to the menu! It is pretty standard for most buffets to include shrimp and crab legs in their dinner menus. So I suppose if you add some oysters and some sushi in your menu, you're magically upgraded to "Seafood" Buffet!
Whoever was in charge of the oysters when I went, didn't rinse them so there was a ton of barnicle pieces and black oyster shell goo all over the place. To makes matters worse, they also stacked the oysters all on top of each other, so you'd be sure to taste some of that crunchy shell pieces and goo. Yumm? The oysters themselves were quite good, but the poor preparation lead me to only eat less than a handfull of them. In comparison, I think I ate about two dozen juicy ones at the Rio. As for the sushi... I think it was just a california roll, a shrimp nigiri, and tuna roll.
So if you're a seafood aficionado, then be ready to be disappointed. If you're a regular buffet eater... Not bad!
