| - I'm so overwhelmed by the level of fail I experienced here that I don't even know where to start. I have already eaten at the other highly rated buffet, Studio B at The M Resort, so I'm not exactly a newb to the buffet scene. I came in expecting decent food and good desserts, especially for the $45 per person that we paid after tax and 18% gratuity for our group of 20. I left really upset with this place because of both the food and service. I thought i would like this place better after a good nights sleep, but the more I thought about it, the madder I got. Hence, this bad review...
Service: Our waiters were a little slow and inattentive, but I don't really hold it against them as they were all given a huge swath of people to care for. It would have been nice to get a refill for my coke, just once sometime between 5pm and 7pm, but I ended up finishing the water and getting some coffee instead. I really disliked that there was only one person on desserts. The line for gelato was wrapped around almost the entire dessert island, and the other dessert stations had empty trays for a good deal of time. The sushi trays were empty a lot of the time too, because the guy they had making the rolls was poorly trained. (Not that it mattered because their sushi was $6.99 chinese buffet grade sushi) And the final blow? At one point, there were no plates. Anywhere. In the whole buffet. It got to the point where I was about to grab one of the empty dessert trays. Reeeediculous.
Food: Nothing special. Not sure what all the buzz is about, and the selection is way more limited than Studio B. The sushi was epic fail, as mentioned. The other Asian foods were pretty bad too. About 2/3 of the stuff there was starch based. Bourbon style creamed corn, gnocchi, potatoes, overly salty risotto, sandwiches and pizza...is not worth 35 bucks. The hyped bone marrow wasn't that good. I seriously don't understand the hype behind the mac and cheese bar. Five people at our table made their own combos, and none of them were any good because the cheese was so overwhelmingly bitter. Anybody who likes this stuff should come to my house, I have a box of Kraft you should try for only $9.95! The prime rib looked like it was perfectly cooked...right before someone accidentally stuck it in a microwave for another 10 minutes. The beignets and shrimp were good though.
Desserts: Looks pretty, but mostly not that great. The macarons were good. The gelato lost out to Studio B though.
I just can't imagine why anybody would choose to this buffet over anything else on the strip. Go to Studio B instead, it's a long wait but it's cheaper and at least you get better food and service.
