| - I love buffets! This buffet had a beautiful setting, we managed to get seating in the atrium with all the cool flower displays (they were fake, if anyone was wondering). The lighting was beautiful and it felt very magical, like we were in Alice in Wonderland!
We paid $36.99 per person for the brunch buffet on a Saturday, but it came out to a total of $80. I won't lie, we actually got out of line to decide if we wanted to spend that much. The cashier let us walk in to investigate and we walked back out to discuss the pros and cons.
FYI Brunch on a weekday was about $10 cheaper per person, so we kicked ourselves for not going on the Friday morning.
Pros
-You get to sample everything.
-They had a wide variety of breakfast/lunch options.
-Create your own omelette, pancake or crepe stations were set up.
-The lines were pretty minimal, but we did get there before 10 AM on Saturday.
-Plenty of dessert options, very small portions so you could try everything if you truly wanted to!
Cons
-Food got very cold, really fast
-Some things were great, some were just meh.
-You get full quickly and miss out!
-There was only one type of fresh juice.
-The price
I'm still wondering if it was worth the cost. We're very frugal with how we spend our money, so if we're going to spend $80 + tip, it has to be worth it.
This was an experience we wanted to try, but probably wouldn't do again for the cost. Simply because it was just an OK buffet. Better than some I've been to, that's for sure, but the cost made my stomach drop a bit.
Plus, how hard is it to post the prices online? We couldn't find them anywhere and then once we drove over there, it felt like a waste of time.
I'm from Vegas, so this isn't surprising but yay for trying a higher end buffet again. The Aria's buffet still wins!
