  • As of today, I have dined here 7 times - 3x dinner, 4x lunch.. witnessing various changes to the selection. ::: [ FLAVOR ] ::: Standard buffets seem to focus heavily on selection/quantity. Better buffets seem to focus heavily on selection, quantity AND quality. Wicked Spoon might lose in the selection department over others, but focuses on quantity, quality, & one essential but oft overlooked criteria: FLAVOR. ::: [ TECHNIQUE ] ::: Due to preparation of large batches, many buffets (including Wynn's, which I haven't been back to in 2+ yrs) tend to offer food with less desirable textures due to being left out for too long and/or imperfect cooking temperatures, Wicked Spoon rarely makes that mistake. ::: [ PRESENTATION ] ::: Perfectly portioned little bowls/plates. Reduces chance of cross-contamination by other guests and things being mixed around on your own plate. Maintains presentation - consistency in plating technique is a 3.5/5 - 4/5 depending on the station & dish. ::: [ SERVICE ] ::: Only experienced poor service 2 out of 7 times. Yesterday's visit was excellent - our server randomly checked up on us at least 4 times throughout our meal. ::: [ DRINKS ] ::: Wine & cocktails are available. They also have a selection of Coke products, juices, & ice tea. Don't forget to ask for coffee when you're ready to move on to dessert! ::: [ DIET-FRIENDLY FOOD ] ::: I've dieted while dining here twice and was able to get extremely full on less than 700 calories. Also, SUGAR-FREE DESSERTS! You can also request a cup of berries from the dessert station. ____________________________ KEY: (-) Skip This (+) Try This (++) Love This I have either 1.) never tried or 2.) feel indifferent towards the ones that have no symbol next to them. ____________________________ DATE/TIME: MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2013 // 7:30PM ::: [ SAMPLE OF THE SPREAD AT DINNER ] ::: [ ASIAN ] Egg Drop Soup Cabbage Salad Wok Tossed Udon Har Gau Beef Stir Fry Compart Duroc Pork Ribs (+) Korean Kalbi Short Ribs Sushi [ ITALIAN ] Duck Ravioli (++) Italian Sausage Pappardelle (++) Spaghetti w/Smothered Cherry Tomatoes Asiago Gnocchi w/Lamb Ragu (++) / sometimes chewy, good flavor Braised Beef Short Rib w/Polenta (+) Margherita Pizza Chicken Garlic Pizza Sausage and Roasted Tomato Prosciutto Stromboli (+) Prime Rib Pannini w/Truffle Aioli Broccoli Rabe w/Pine Nuts & Garlic Roasted Red Peppers Crispy Chicken Thighs w/Pancetta and Romanesco [ MEAT ETC ] Shepherd's Pie (+) / too much potato Truffle Potato Potatoes au Gratin (++) / not there yest but usually Creamed Spinach (+) Roasted Sweet Potato w/House-Made Marshmallow Carnitas w/Black Bean & Salsa Fresca Green Garlic Roasted Tomatoes Potatoes O'Brien Veal Sweetbreads "Dirty Rice" (-) / missing sweetbreads Wicked Fried Chicken (-) Roasted Chicken Prime Rib (+) / good quality & texture Leg of Lamb Bone Marrow (++) SAUCES: Au Jus, Chimichurri, Horseradish Cream, Red Onion Marmalade [ RANDOM ] Wild Boar Sloppy Joe's (+) Citrus Glazed Salmon BBQ Shrimp & White Cheddar Grits (+) Crab Legs (+) Crispy Corn Tacos [ MAC AND CHEESE ] * This station is always either a Design-Your-Own Mac & Cheese or Shrimp Station.
