| - I went with really high expectations, so perhaps that is skewing my judgement on this place. But in a nutshell...it was just ok.
As many have pointed out, it is all buffet style, so the freshness and wow factor just wasnt there for me.
My favorite brunch of all time was the brunch at The Steakhouse in Circus Circus...so perhaps I had an unfair bias going in. What I really liked about the CC brunch was that everything was made to order, like filet, eggs benedict, etc. Something just seems to get lost when it gets made in batches and sits in a heating table. I really wish they would re-open that brunch :(
The Lobster was just very mediocre, the filets were overdone, the eggs benedict was not too bad, but still a little dry from sitting in the heating table. The crab legs were very good, but wish they would take the extra step and either cut them open for you or provide the scissors because the shells were a little soft and hard to open with just a cracker.
The desserts were just ok to me, nothing special.
I think the saving grace was that the champagne was flowing (although not as fast as I would have liked) and it is a $40-50 champagne...that is the only reason I would say that the $85 price tag isnt completely out of line.
Overall, the food quality was average and not worth the $$$, but if you like a lot of good champagne and dont mind average quality food, it is worth it.
