I just went to the dinner buffet last week and that's the first time we tried Aria buffet. The prime rib and salmon weren't so good. And actually the one who served the prime rib was not courteous and I ended up complaining to the manager for that. I saw the chef cooking up a piece of prime rib for another customer but was reluctant to do so for me and my husband. I felt that his service wasn't consistent and impolite to us (while we were requesting nicely) so I had to complain to the manager. I understand it's a buffet, not a steak house, but service is still a matter regardless what kind of cuisine a restaurant is serving. So that's a big minus for us. The manager was very nice to help us out to get our prime rib grilled. We had to have the prime rib grilled because we don't eat rare or medium rare meat, and the prime rib was at most medium rare at the time we were eating there. And I think we got compensated by being charged for 1 person instead of 2 due to the unpleasant experience. So it's well resolved that way.
The desserts are great though regardless the unpleasant experience with the prime rib chef. The desserts are great and I had a lot of them. The buffet description said they have the desserts from Jean Philippe Patisserie. So I ate alot of the desserts that seemed to be from Jean Philippe Patisserie (but I really couldn't tell which one was and which one wasn't).
Anyway, it's good to at least try it once and see if we wanna go again. And we probably might not go there again for full price. I do like the dessert but I think I would rather just get them from Jean Philippe Patisserie downstairs, probably cost less that way and still satisfy my craving for Jean Philippe Patisserie desserts.
