The Wicked Spoon was Wicked GOOD!
I took a few moments to read some of the recent reviews and I am shocked! I can only speak for the Sunday brunch but it was the best brunch buffet to ever hit these lips!!!
From the moment you walk into this building you feel like you have entered a scene from Sex and the City. It is definitely Shabby Chic! Not my particular style but I loved the energy and attention to detail this place has. Someone said they got lost getting to the restaurant. Hmmmm, I don't want to say they are stupid but they have these little signs that direct you right to it....lol It is down an unassuming hallway that leads you past the hotel room elevators. One can reasonably assume that the target audience for this restaurant is GUESTS FIRST. Rightfully so in my opinion.
People complaining about price....Really? This is Vegas people! Sure it is expensive but I can honestly say it was worth every dime. If you want a cheap but okay buffet, head to the Rio. This is an upscale place and the food was more single serving than buffet quality. There are plenty of cheap buffets but I assure you that you will get what you pay for. BTW, Prime Rib is being used as a test to see if a buffet is good? When did the worst cut of beef become the standard?????...lol Every time I read a review that mentions Prime Rib I stop reading. They obviously don't know quality food if that is their biggest topic to discuss.
The food.....I was in heaven! Individual servings of all you can eat food is not a negative thing. It is a gift from God! The temperature and quality are way easier to control and it cuts down on waste. Again, lots of non restaurant people talking smack about things they have no knowledge about. Tons of different options and tons of unique food choices to try. You want to judge a buffet? Do it by the quality of their bacon! This place has the thickest, tastiest bacon of any buffet I have ever been too. For goodness sakes, they even had slab bacon they would cut fresh for you!!!! Omelett and egg station prepared any way you want it. Fresh pecan french toast and pancakes. Really? If it were socially acceptable, i would have just eaten right off the serving dishes!
Dessert station. Okay, lots of smaller desserts and most were delicious. There were so many options that I wished I hadn't eaten that third helping of bacon so I could fit more in. If you want their best dessert tho, hit up the gelato station first. Their best flavor is the SALTED PEANUT. It was AWESOME!
I will be back but next time I am wearing sweat pants!!!!!!!!!!
