| - The buffet of all buffets! My husband and I came here last weekend with 9 other people. One member of our party had a platinum card which was the sole reason we were able to be seated. The line was long and we were told originally that it would take over 2 hours to get in. When we walked in I was in awe of the shear amount of food. Table after table of food with the whole center of the room dedicated to dessert. Oh my! There was Chinese, Mexican, American, Italian cuisines, along with a whole seafood table, various salads, a whole row of cheeses, etc. Literally a sight to be seen. Food was definitely good and my personal favorite was the dessert bar. Made to order crepe station-YES PLEASE! They also have a wide selection of gelatos, however I was too stuffed to try one.
My main issue with this place was the high price ($70/person for dinner, which does NOT include alcohol) and the lack of vegetarian options. Soft drinks are included and if you are a platinum member then wine and champage are included (lucky for us that our friend was!) My husband and I are both vegetarian and we could probably only eat about 1/3 of the options. Despite this, I left absolutely stuffed and was actually a bit uncomfortable probably bc I carb loaded! Service was also lacking and given the fact that we paid 18% gratuity at the beginning, it was a bit of a disappointment. I had to hunt the waitress down repeatedly for my drink to be refilled, plates to be taken away, etc. I ended up bussing the table myself at one point.
If I was to go again, I would go for brunch as the prices are more reasonable and it's supposedly less busy. Would I rate it the number 1 buffet in the US as they claim? No probably not, however worth trying once.
