"Here's a healthy eating tip that I'm sure you've heard: eat slow because it takes time for your brain to know that your belly is full, therefore if you eat slow, you will feel full before you overeat.\n\nIf I'm at a buffet, I would tell this tip to gtfo! I am there to eat my money's worth!\n\nWhat disappointed me at Bacchanal is that after you've waited in line to get in, you don't expect to have to wait some more, but unfortunately there are long lines for seafood, carved meat, tacos and gelato.\n\nThis resulted in me eating a little bit at a time, food getting cold while waiting, dreading going in line to get more food... My hunger went away but I didn't quite feel like I enjoyed my meal or ate as much as I could have.\n\nMoreover, because there are lines at the popular stations, people are standing in front of all the food, and it's just troublesome to look around and ask people to move so you can look and grab food. It also means that a lot of the dishes stay under the heat lamp for a while because people can't easily see them, and the plates get burning hot.\n\nOK, now as for the food: I really enjoyed the tacos. Not worth $50, but they were good! I only tried the steak, but they also have al pastor and chicken. Since you have to wait in line for these, I suggest getting many!\n\nThere were so many meats! I usually only get red meat (cuz it's worth more, ya knooow) so I got prime rib, rib eye, brisket, ribs and lamb chops. The prime rib and rib eye were too rare for my taste and kind of bland. I should've gotten the more cooked pieces, but I was not gonna wait in line again...\nThe brisket and ribs were super smokey... dislike.\nThe lamb chops were my favorite meat. Soft, flavorful, fatty! \n\nThere were many seafood dishes (fish, clam bake, mussels, lobster chowder), fresh oysters, cold and hot king crab, shrimp cocktail. The hot king crab was worth the wait! So meaty, and the legs are already cut in half so it's easy to eat. At that station, I also enjoyed the ceviche and gazpacho soup.\n\nI had to rush through dessert because everyone was already done eating... but I still tried as many as possible! I loved the creme brulee and the chocolate creme brulee. The tiramisu was yummy! Macarons were the perfect texture, I had bites of the blueberry, orange, and pistachio flavors. Not a fan of orange flavor but the other two were good. I ate so many desserts I can't remember what else, but they were all so delicious. That was probably my favorite station hahaha\nI didn't get to try the crepes!\n\nOverall, my expectations were too high but this is still a good buffet... so many choices and so many things I didn't get to try. but the inside wait is ridiculous and ruins everything -__- the timing, the temperature, less time to sit at the table and actually eat -___- losing one star there.\nbetter grab lots of the popular food and serve it family style at your table.\n\nOutside wait was around 40 mins. We got there at 2:30pm, but later on for dinner time, the outside line was packed like crazyyyy.\n\nBrunch ends at 3pm and includes unlimited mimosas. Come right before that time and get dinner food for the same price! $42 vs $50 for dinner. Bring your players card and get $1 off. I don't know if I would go back though, it is expensive... but worth trying if you come at the right time."^^ . "3"^^ . "6"^^ . "3"^^ .
