| - The last time we were here was about ten years ago and we loved it back then so thought we would give it a try again.
Let's see, Rio buffet how do I hate you, let me count the ways.
Yes, there is a huge selection and is a great place for those with larger groups and different tastes. But, it really ends there.
I think the line system really sucks. We had a coupon and had to stand in line to the right, while people who were way behind us went up to the credit card side, paid and got seated way before we did. If I had to guess, we had to wait an extra 20 minutes to be seated from those people who were at the back of the line. I don't know how they think this is fair but I guess this is their attempt to keep the line moving.
When we were standing in line, we could see a bunch of empty tables that weren't being cleaned. The line wasn't that long for a Saturday night but the wait was over 45 minutes. Even when we got inside, there were empty tables and still a ton of people in line.
Our server was just ok, he did bring drinks relatively quickly but when it came to taking our dirty plates away, he was very slow.
We really enjoy sushi and the selection here was pathetic and tasted gross. The rice was kind of crunchy, and not really fresh. The chicken I had was very dry and there were a few other things that I tried but didn't finish because they were just not good at all.
One thing that was very good was the gelato, and the meat station had a decent and pretty tasty selection. I did have what sort of looked like creme brulee but it was not c.b. I don't know what it was, but the bottom of it was all liquidy and raw! Yuck!
Overall, I think you can do much better somewhere else. I know some people really enjoy this buffet but my husband and I did not. Yes, there is alot of quantity, but I think the quality for the most part was really lacking.
