| - Yay!
i used to tout the Bellagio Buffet whenever I talked about Vegas. But wow wow wow! I really enjoyed Wicked Spoon. It's not like any other buffet i've ever been to, food wise.
I looked this place up because I wanted bone marrow. How great is it that I can find bone marrow in a buffet, and I don't have to go to either a French restaurant or a steak joint for it?!
I love that everything is portioned controlled. Yeah, it would suck to be their dishwasher and you may only be able to fit 4 ramekins worth of food onto your plate but you won't look like a Fat Assssss for sure (unless you've got awesome balance and a waitressing background and can carry 4 or 5 plates to your seat like ME).
They have food that I've never seen in any other buffets:
Bone marrow - my dad actually makes it better but this was still tasty and I could go back for eighths if I wanted.
Fried oysters - YUM!
Lobster risotto - YUM!
supertenderandohsodelicious Short ribs - YUM!
othertenderporkwithcollardgreens - YUM!
Korean short ribs - YUM!
Primerib sliders - you get the idea!
and like, a shit ton of other YUM! stuff (sushi, pizza, asian fares, bread and cheeses, pitas with hummus or tabouli, salads, tapas type foods, a carving station, full dessert bar).
Their gelato in the dessert section alone is worth it. And it's not even just the usual boring strachiatella or chocolate flavors, they have blood orange, raspberry, strawberry and balsamic. I died and went to heaven.
On a side note, a lot of the food was rich in that there is a lot of fat, cream, cheese, fried in oil, type of foods there. All delicious, of course and not in a McDonalds number 1 kind of way, but lactose intolerant folks and those who worry about the size of their thighs, BEWARE.
Yes, Yelp, I *AM* a fan! Thank you!!!
