| - The Lunch Buffet -$12
Even though it was Veterans Day & several local places were offering FREE Buffets for Vets (like myself) including the Main Street Station Casino right around the block, this was not on my agenda and I proceeded forward to try this one.
It didnt start off well as the elevator door kept opening up even though nobody was there to get on & it wasnt going down. So I took the escalator down to the gift shop & bought a paper & went back up to the buffet on the 2nd floor. NBD.
Then, once seated, there was the issue wt the lighting once again and I asked to be moved to a place wt better light so I could read my paper. I was gladly moved to a seat next to the full window overlooking the pool and its Aquarium, VERY COOL!! However, I did notice that at the pool ALL the guest were laying directly on the lounge pads & NO towel was being offered or laid out for them. I'm surprised as this is VERY unsanitary. Whatever, I'm not going there and laying on someone elses sweat & suntan lotion mess & its .NOT my problem.
At $12 it was a little pricey for lunch but FINALLY this buffet selections actually had some flavor to it, unlike the previous reviewed buffet. The Collard greens actually had real bacon in them and were very good & required no salt at all. The Beef Teriaki wt brocoli was actually "over sauced" & to rich but when mixed wt the Pepper, Onions & beef/chicken was very good and the perfect mix of all the ingredients blended together. And while there was no sushi (insert sad face here), there was shrimp cocktail wt medium sized pealed shrimp and a crab salad, both of which were not bad at all.
Also the Shreded BBQ beef was very good and full of flavor. I didnt try the fried chicken or anything from the carving station but it all looked real good and of a high quality.
The waitstaff didnt seem that friendly & helpful as my water glass went empty for quite sometime as they all casually walked by until a nice oriental lady offered to refill it even asking me if I wanted something else to drink . I didnt, but thanked her just the same.
The desert station wasnt that impressive and seemed to offer alot of mini cream puffs, cheesecakes, & the likes. I wasnt impressed at all and when I asked the lady scooping the ice cream what flavor one was she had no idea. LOL! I had a scoop anyway and I have NO IDEA what it was either (Maple? Butter Pecan? Carmel???) but it was good with a half slice of mini pecan pie.
Overall I'd say that out of the 3 buffets downtown, for lunch, this is the best and the table views overlooking the pool & aquarium rock and must really be sensational at night!!
