I was definitely disappointed after reading reviews. The plating and presentation is amazing, but it's lacking taste. my friends who like cardboard food liked it, but the rest of us were not sold. \n\nFavorites: \nTruffled potatoes\n\nYes, they had a Mac n cheese bar but it was not the most amazing Mac and cheese. It was kind of bland and the pasta was overcooked. Plus the guy making the pasta insulted me. \n\nThe bone marrow almost made my girl barf, literally. She said it was like eating straight lard (think spoonful of crisco).\n\nThen we got some fresh fruit and it was not so fresh. My girl had a moldy tangerine. She got sick again. \n\nThere was not a salad bar, only premade salad and i didn't find any of the salads to be tasty. Some weren't even palatable.\n\nI'm really sad because I sooooo want to like this buffet. Honestly, cosmopolitan is a lot of beauty but not a lot of substance. The eateries here are overhyped and overpriced. If I wanted that, I'd stay in Hollywood.\n\nYummilicious Factor = D+"^^ . "2"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
