I sometimes wonder if previous Yelpers ate at a different restaurant than the one we ate at. Yes, we will agree that the selection is smaller than some of the giant buffets at places like Mandalay Bay and Paris, but the quality is MUCH, MUCH better.\n\nLet's talk mashed potatoes. Pretty standard, right? Wrong. In most places they just offer flaked potatoes made with water. Pretty runny. These mashed potatoes are are real potatoes mashed with butter and cream. Even better with the real bacon bits offered on the side. And this is only the beginning for really good and unusual vegetable dishes. Creamed celery root anyone? No? Then you missed a wonderful vegetable dish. You probably missed the brussel sprouts and red peppers that my husband had three servings of. I was scarfing down the creamy, anchovy Caesar salad and the wonderful, wonderful bread. I swear this is the best bread in Las Vegas. We tried the pretzel rolls, the olive foccacia, the cibbatta, and the to die for multigrain, nut, and dried fruit bread. I also had some fine pork roast stuffed with herbs and cranberries. My husband had a great prime rib -- tasted like real beef (NOT watery) and was tender, tender, tender.\n\nAnd the service was GREAT. There is my husband wailing away on his stuffed lobster with a knive, when a chef hustled over and asked if he had killed it yet. We laughed and then the chef gave my husband a lobster cracker. It was probably on the buffet all along, but my husband never saw it.\n\nI told my husband to save room for dessert, but he was having a hard time stopping with the regular offerings. I had three small desserts -- a multi-layer pistachio cake, a crisp cookie with five PERFECT raspberries on it, and a slice of pie? cake? OK, a crust with cherries on the bottom, a filling, and whipped cream and toasted almonds on top. It was called a rice pudding cake because the filling was rice pudding! Who knew? My husband went right for the pecan pie, the cannelloni, and the macaroons. He can't wait to go back again.
