| - We ate here with friends after they saw Wicked Spoon on the Travel Channel. I read reviews saying there were long lines and up to a 2 hour wait, but on a Saturday night at about 5:30 pm (we went early before an 8pm show), there was no line at all.
For $41/person (or $50 if you want unlimited red or white house wine), you get a wide variety of delicious "small plates". My guy got the unlimited wine, but the server was not very attentive, so we really paid $9 for two glasses of wine. Not terrible, but still, we were there long enough that she should have at least offered a refill 4 times.
The food was mostly fabulous! Almost everything is in a small bowl, cup, plate, Chinese take out box, pot or pan. Very cute presentation. Bone Marrow! I've never had bone marrow, but it was delicious! Duck Ravioli with a delicious creamy sauce; Fried Mozzarella Risotto Balls; Wild Boar Sloppy Joe Sliders; shot glasses with shrimp cocktail and ceviche; a wide variety of special salads (I had the roasted beet salad - yum!). Seared salmon with parsnip puree, BBQ shrimp with white cheddar grits. They also had a fabulous fruit, cheese, and charcuterie display. Delicious Maytag bleu cheese, brie, something semi-hard with a coating of espresso, prosciutto, olives, marinated fancy mushrooms with focaccia and burrata cheese; hand pulled and rolled mozzarella. My mouth is watering just recounting all the delicousness!
There was also buffet basics, like chilled crab legs (same as almost any buffet) and prime rib (delicious!) They also have a wide array of desserts, with a huge selection of sorbet and gelato. Best, creamiest, loveliest gelato I've ever tasted!
Overall, a great deal for amazing tastes. You definitely have to try Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan!
