This place is a borderline 1 star for me. It wasn't like as if I found a bug or anything atrocious. But it was shockingly disappointing. \n\nThe Buffet, along with the rest of Aria, seem immaculate. We've stayed at the Aria before and was impress with the rooms. So it would seem logical that the food was equally impressive. When I took a quick look around, the presentation of the food looked nice.\n\nHowever looks can be very deceiving. I tried the orange glazed ham. It was dry with no hint of orange. The grilled vegetables were also over done. The clam chowder was ok but nothing a can of Campbell's soup cant replace. I tried the Mexican clams. It was underwhelming and the taste did not go well together. Got a couple of warm crab legs but the meat on it was rather dry. Since we came in the late afternoon we were also able to sample the dinner menu. I was actually looking forward to the King Snow Crab legs but they were equally disappointing.\n\nThe only good thing I can say about this place is that the gelato was pretty good. \n\nThe service was a bit of a disappointment as well. Since our regular waitress couldn't be found for a good 10 minutes, I flagged down 2 passing servers asking them for the tool to crack open the crab legs. They hardly acknowledged me and as they were walking away one waiter says to the other \"Why me?\" before hesitantly coming back to get me what I needed. \n\nDefinitely would not be back here. Living up to its name, this is THE BUFFET to avoid.
