This is a one point five star review. I do not write scathing reviews but the food quality is way below par. You can taste that recently they decided to cut food costs and reduce quality.
Note: the gelato bar is still awesome but the cup they serve it in is the size of a small butter pad.
Sushi. You can tell they removed the saran wrap and serve sushi made off-site. I am going to set the over-under on length of time the rice was made at seven hours. Smart money bets the over. For you not sports bet enthusiasts, this means the rice is old. Oh, the fish tastes stale and fake.
Seafood. The crab legs look and taste like frozen water. They should have a sign plaque that says "Weak-ass snow crab legs".
Shrimp: tolerable.
Asian food. It was ok. The food preserves well under heat lamps and food warmers. The veggies held up well
Italian salami and greek salad: passable.
Bone marrow tasted like it was diseased cow. You can't just take any old bone and dole it out as bone marrow. It has to be high quality.
Lamb chops or lamb shank: THERE WAS NONE.
Ribeye: ABSENT.
Roast beef: Quality was like an Old Country Buffet
Salad: Made me yearn for Sweet Tomatos.
I love and respect Connie Chang's Yelp reviews. She needs to update her 06-18-2012 review that is almost one year old. This buffet has changed. Do not eat here until I update that it is better here.
BTW, I was STARVED when I ate here. It was after swimming on the 14th floor pool over Memorial Day. I ate there at 515pm on FRI during Memorial Day.
