Hmmm, 2 words OVER RATED, wait 2 more, OVER PRICED.
So we had the champagne brunch this morning. Actually my husband didn't have champagne- so his price was $25, if you want champagne it's $5 extra.
I read reviews here yesterday before deciding to fork out $60 for brunch. The only conclusion I can come to at this point is that most of the reviews must be tourists. I'm a local, and this buffet is NOT "the best buffet ever". I'm used to buffets, so walking in and seeing tons of food doesn't shock me. My husband would have preferred Golden Corral over this, not me though.
The main reason we came here was because my parents had comps and we wanted to have breakfast with them. So we didn't have to wait in the nice long line.
As for the food, it was decent. The selection wasn't that great- at first it looks great, until you realize there are a lot of duplicates- like bacon in 4 different areas, sausage if 4 different areas, whole roasted potatoes in 3 different area....ya get it? I also don't think the layout of the food flows nicely either. It's all chopped up so it's very easy to miss things.
I'm a pretty plain eater so I had things like bacon, french toast, roasted potatoes, pizza, a nice salad, prime rib, mashed potatoes and some dessert. Everything was good, but again, $30 worth....I don't think so.
Oh and their desserts look great, but they were all room temperature. I don't know about ya'll, but I like my cheesecake to be cold!! Oh, and no ice-cream. What the hell, the buffet at Sunset Station that costs $10 has real ice-cream. Not that soft serve ice milk crap!!
I see that other reviews mention crab legs- there were not any when we were there.
The service was good, just good. I wouldn't say it was anyting spectacular, it was as expected. Our plates where cleared in a timely manner and our drinks where always pretty full. I was kinda annoyed though when I told the waitress that I wanted a mimosa. She basically just dumped some OJ in my champagne glass that was 3/4 full. So after she added the OJ it was full to the brim. And maybe it's just me, but pulp free OJ would be nice in a mimosa.
I highly doubt we will be returning to this buffet. I think the husband and I will try The Wicked Spoon. And if we don't like that we'll stick to The M.
I'd much rather go to The M, where beer and wine are included with your price. The M has a seafood dinner buffet on the weekends for the same price as this brunch, and it's their original dinner buffet PLUS seafood, so it'll work for those who don't like seafood.
Really, if you are leaving Vegas, and going home to California, stop at The M on your way out of town!
