Friends and I decided to give this new buffet a try after hearing all the great reviews. I had gotten no more than 5 hours of sleep over the course of 48 hours (combination of work, partying, gambling, and attending a conference). After Monday's seminar headed back to my room at the Palazzo and decided to find some food. I wanted to dine at L'Atelier but my buddy isn't a huge fan of French and wanted to dine at a casual restaurant. We couldn't come to a conclusion as to where to go so I threw out Wicked Spoon. \n\nValet'ed the car and proceeded to look for the buffet. There are some signs that point you in the general direction but of course we got lost. Ended up asking the security guard where the place was and we were told to back track and head up the escalator (they need to have more signs for new visitors). Was surprised to find the place fairly empty (perhaps it was due to the fact that it was a Monday and we were eating at around 6:30). \n\nI was told by various cab drivers that the food quality is just so so but they really do spend time on the presentation of all their dishes.\n\nTried various dishes and found some that I liked and others that were just average. My complaints for the night were with a few of the desserts and also with their roast beef/prime rib. The beef served was tougher than what I'd find at Norm's and had virtually no taste at all. I did fall in love with their bean sprout dish (seasoned with seasame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce..i think). Their gelato/ice creams were average but they had these huge chocolate covered strawberries. \n\nServie was ok and noticed our waiter only taking away 2-3 plates at a time...homie needs a bigger tray or hire more people to help clear the tables. There were several times where we had stacks of plates just sitting in front of us while the server just casually walked around carrying drinks or just 1-2 dishes on his tray. As others have stated, this buffet is very affordable at $35/ person. Will go back again if I'm ever in the mood for a buffet.
