| - Sorry no 4 or 5 stars from me on this one. I took my neice here for her 25th bday because of the great reviews and how popular this place was. It was a Monday night and we got here a little after 7 pm and after walking the wrong too far in the wrong direction because of bad signage on the first floor, we found the buffet and not a single person was in line. (This should've been our sign right there to turn around and leave)
So we pay and get sat and I treat her to a bottle of wine for $20
Now I want to stop here for a 2nd and mention on it's own, this place gets a 2, if compared to the new Bacchanal buffet at Ceasars, this place gets a 1. I definitely give credit to Caesars for trying to be better then this place.
So after we were sat, and started upto the buffet, there was basically no line anywhere, the place was fairly quiet and empty. I know it's a Monday but still, I've seen all sorts of buffets packed on a Monday at 7 pm So we start in the asian section, Ummm where's the asian section? It was SOOOO basic and minimal it was a freakin joke. Caesars had a much bigger variety and more specialty items. I've seen cheap small buffets have more of an asian section. The sushi selection here was literally a joke and was NOT worth the almost $40 per person I just paid. As we walked along, we had to keep coming back to the table because after you pick up 2 or 3 items, you barely have any food but you have all these damm freakin little pots and baskets and stuff. Ok I get it, it's cute and it's looks good for individual portions but ultimately the idea SUCKS. Almost everything we tried back at our table was not hot and was barely room temperature. I will say the risotto was excellent and other then that 1 item, NOTHING made us go oooh and ahhh or omg I have got to get another one of these. The 1st basket of calamari was good but not great and we decided to go back later for a 2nd basket, it was SO salty we had to spit it out. The seafood section was worthless. They didn't even have oysters of ANY type (fried or on the halfshell) Yet even cheap basic buffets throughout the city have oysters on the half shell? Why does the $40 buffet not have them??? Hmmmmm
Oh and after our very attentive waiter brought us our wine, we was hardly ever around and hard to find to pay the check. We almost walked out on him.
So we move onto the dessert section and between the 2 of us we basically get 1 of everything, We did not finish a single piece of ANY dessert. It was so blah and basic and not one piece of chocolate went OHHHHHH YUMMMMM .
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We left full but not satisfied. Quite frankly I will NOT be recommending this place and I have no desire to come back.
Just for the record, even though the Bacchanal buffet at caesars wasn't great, it was definitely VERY good and FAR better then this buffet. I was quite disappointed because this was not what I was expecting.
