| - 3.5 STARS! But I'm rounding down because blehhh it was annoying.
We were debating between the buffet at the Cosmopolitan or Planet Hollywood. Yelp don't make no lies. Cosmopolitan buffet it is. My group of 8 got there around 5:30 with little to no line! Yayyy! However, they charged us 18% gratuity on top of the $35 cost for the buffet. So we paid about $44 for this place.
Now if I'm paying that much for the a buffet, I at least expect some decent service. Our hostess took our bill and said they would set up our table. We waited.. and waited.. and waited. No one came back for us for at least 20 minutes. There were obviously open tables everywhere throughout the restaurant, yet we haven't been seated yet. It was ridiculous. We even saw our table set up but no one had come for us. Finally, we had to flag down our hostess and she took us to our table, apologizing that she 'forgot' about us or thought someone had taken care of it. UGHHHHH!
Even after we sat down, throughout the night, our waiter was kind of inattentive and MIA. We had to flag him down several times to get our drink orders and didn't look so happy to be here. I mean, yeah, we already paid 18% gratuity, but it was just ridiculous... tsk tsk Wicked Spoon. I don't endorse that message.
But besides the service, the food does save my review. The prime rib was bomb and the assortment of hot dishes were great. I enjoyed the Asian section a lot, per usje. Loved that there was a DIY Mac n Cheese station. Love that cheesiness. My favorite part of the buffet was the dessert bar! 16 flavors of gelato/ice cream, cheesecake, bread pudding, chocolate cake, chocolate-dipped strawberries. The list goes on and on.
Also, it's quite a walks away from the entrance to the Cosmopolitan on the strip. Just follow the hanging signs and the buffet is located on the second floor of the hotel. There are escalators you take to it. Enjoy the pretty lights and chandeliers as you walk through the hotel!
Wicked Spoon has some wickedly good food and desserts, but seriously? The service was appalling for a place of this calibur. Maybe next time!
