Buffets in Vancouver seem few and far between and generally rather pricy so this seemed like the most reasonable option to go with kids. The third star is for the service as the servers come through and clear plates quickly and offer hot drinks when they notice you're towards the end of the meal, so they were great. But food... Considering it's $50 for an adult, you'd be better off going to a regular restaurant and ordering what you really want for a better meal. Most of the food was luke warm and the carving station was almost cold unless you catch a fresh one coming out. The sushi was probably the best items here and some of the salad bar. But how do you mess up fried rice? The rice and noodles were almost inedible and my kids couldn't eat the soft serve ice cream! And they'll eat almost anything sweet. Hmm, I didn't expect amazing food being a buffet, but I certainly expected a bit more than that. Nothing stood out as being all that great overall and at these prices... Maybe not! read more

I cannot believe it is $50 now per person. I used to go here when it was around 30 something and you get 10% off with the Encore card. Now there are no benefits. The high price is not reflected on the amount of dishes or quality of dishes. There is only 15 choices at the hot dishes section. This selection includes cheaper options wich as mashed potato, potato au gratin, store bought gyoza, roast veggies, steamed veggies, and fried noodle. Chinese roast pork was quite ok. At least the skin was still crispy. There is no raw fish at the sushi section. The prime rib was quite small. The desserts were lackluster except for the cobbler which was delicious. It also had a big bowl of devonshire cream and it was amazing. Parking is free in the parkade and there is plenty of parking. I wish they would elevate their dishes to justify the price point. read more

Visited New years day 2025, what a difference a year makes... Actual buffet food offerings / food areas reduced, less Asia fare, less dessert down to gelatin & ice cream? Buffet prices up at least 25%, then add service charge / gratuity, and you get the idea... no line ups, not busy on NYD. read more

For the price you pay VS the food and selection you get doesn't justify it for me. Went here for the brunch buffet on Easter Sunday. There was little selection and the food was mediocre. The Ham was dry and the roast beef was tough. The chow mein was overcooked. As I normally indulge in a buffet, this one I didn't even go for seconds. I don't even have pictures to with this post. Sorry, I don't personally recommend. read more

The Buffet - The view - Buffets Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This is a bigger inside the casino hotel in Desserts were great, not a lot of choices considering $49.99 per person Canadian dollars. The food was decent, it had a salad bar, macaroni, Chinese stir fry and roast beef. It is great when you are hungry, but if you are looking for seafood items, there only the cold dish clams, cocktail shrimp, mussels and Chinese steam fish. It does come with non alcoholic beverages and coffee- free refills. Would I go back? If I am hungry and don't want to go outside of the hotel. Sure! read more

They have mice in the dining area and no one seemed to think anything about it. Excuse was because the restaurant is near the waterfront. We were inside with no deck I could see. The food was also not that great and overpriced. Seemed like they had good desserts to make you forget about the actual food. read more

They didn't have crab. It cost me $62 with tax and gratuity. The gratuity was automatically added because my friend said 10 people were coming but only 6 showed up so that is not the Restaurants fault. But be aware there is an automatic charge if you have a large group. The cutting station had roast beef and ham. For seafood they had a baked salmon, mussels and prawns. There was unlimited pop. And the buffett closes at 9 now. I tried it once. Not sure if I would go back but I tried it once. read more

I don't know much else to add to the reviews other than the usual disdain for the high price. This is strictly against the pricing and food offered and not at the staff. The staff were VERY kind to our family and through all our interactions of needing service - they deserve a 5/5 so please understand that. The food is all sort of satisfactory and done "well" but because of the price tag slapped onto it - it falls a bit short. I will say, I was most impressed with the sushi chef (from Japan) and that the sushi was yummy! The quality may be because of what river rock is able to import, of course. At $50 a person, it's difficult to really stomach it all. I understand there is a "variety of foods" but I just don't know what else to add to its value. That being said - I know there are many people that love coming here and celebrating special occasions! So if that is your fancy for a group buffet where everyone can go ham on their favourites then so be it and enjoy! There are washrooms inside the space which are MUCH cleaner than the casino ones so head there first before leaving if you're going to play after your meal. read more

ZERO STAR!! This is the most rip of buffet ever! I paid $49.99 and was expecting some good food that's worth my $49.99. However, all I see was microwavable type of food such as pasta, salad bar, not so fresh shrimps, fried rice, noodles, mashed potatoes and can type of soup. Even Panda Express have better options then this. I have never been to a buffet where I wanted my refund back immediately but we were tired and hungry so we stayed. I knew something was not right when we went in and only saw like 4 tables on a Sunday night during dinner hrs. Stay away from this place! Huge rip off!! read more

This buffet was fairly pricey at around $50 per person for dinner on a Saturday, I was expecting a larger range of food selection at that price but there wasn't much variety. There was a hot food section (just one side along the wall), carved meat station, a salad bar, dessert bar, and a small sushi section (I think the sushi was part of a special event). The food was decent overall, the nigiri and sashimi seemed fresh; however they were very slow in refilling it when it ran out (it almost seemed like they were purposely slow in bringing out new sashimi maybe to slow down customers, there was usually a line of people waiting at the sushi station). The roast beef was also very tough/dry the first time around, but the second time I got it it was much tastier/less dry. The desserts were probably the best part, I tried several different items and they were all very good. Also, the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Also fyi there was a 90-minute dining time maximum. read more

I have recently returned to this buffet to give it another try after many years. It has improved. The quality of the food is consistent and nicely made. The drawback is the staff in the restaurant, especially the cashier at the entrance The cashier insists on charging 18% gratuity for me to sit with my friends. Otherwise I'm not allowed to sit at the same table with them. The cashier has made what would've been a nice experience and miserable experience and I am unlikely to return and my friends are unlikely to return as well. Very poor customer relations for what could've otherwise been a great experience. It was stated that the policy was that for groups of more than five or there's an automatic 18 gratuity added. It's a buffet! It doesn't take any more work to serve 20 people versus two people at the same table. The people are serving themselves. Restaurants have to learn to stop trying to extract every penny they can from the customers. A tip or gratuity is meant for Service beyond what is expected and is always given at the end of a service. read more

The times be changing. It wasn't all that long ago that I would have been super hyped to visit The Buffet at River Rock. However, the pandemic has certainly set this buffet back. Years ago, dungeness crab was included. Then it was an add-on for a fixed price. Now? Nowhere to be seen. A sad day for me since I love me some crab. To be clear, not everything went south. The staff tends to be pretty awesome here. Upbeat and full of life. While the selection of food items isn't as large as it once was, the quality is pretty darn good. Oh and the Pepsi soda dispenser is great since it means your drinks are included. Lineups here can be crazy and even more so for special occasions. Get here early and be prepared to hang out and for any kids with you to ask, "Do you have any games on your phone?" read more

I really hope people don't think this place is actually good. Typically you get excited for the variety that casino buffets offer, but stepping in here is completely the opposite. Came in for Christmas Eve lunch (charged higher prices for the holiday) and was surprised at how low class everything is. There's a large mix of everything from simple breakfast, Chinese, American, to basic sushi and Indian. There's a sliced meat and made to order omelette station which were passable. Most of the buffet items were just tasteless and infrequently replaced. Things weren't cold, but barely lukewarm and congealing on itself. There was crab legs at least, but small ?dungeness ones. The dessert section is pretty large in variety, but can't make up for the subpar hot food section. The only thing worthwhile mentioning is the service. Otherwise save yourself a trip, because any other standard buffet could be way better. read more

For the price paid for the dinner, the food selection was severely lacking. There wasn't a lot of hot meat options and some of the food tasted a bit stale for being out too long. The main reason why I'm giving this a 1 star is because of what I saw at the dessert bar. I was about to grab this chocolate s'mores dessert when I saw fruit flies disperse when I touched it. That is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. This could have been prevented by placing them in cases or using something to cover them. Overall, I wouldn't go here again for the price, food selection, and the fruit flies. read more

The food was terrible. The roast beef was tough and definitely not worth the price. I find that the casinos buffets are terrible in the lower mainland. Hence, the Villa buffet in Burnaby has closed permanently. So, save your money and avoid the buffets!! read more

Came here for Mother's Day brunch. Food was average. Not a lot of selection and some dishes were better than others - roast beef and desserts for example. No seafood dishes. Service was really good. Wait staff were attentive. We tipped them after our meal. Only con is the check-in lines at the front. Two lines - reservations and walk-ins with only one attendant at the front. Lines started to merge and there was no clear indication of reservation patrons being served first. If you're going to have two distinct lines, please have two attendants ready to help each line. It is unfair for the reservation line up to be waiting the same amount of time as the walk-in line up to check in, otherwise why even offer the reservation line up or the option to make a reservation if you don't honour the line. read more

Not long ago , I had my Father's Day brunch , I do not have problem with foods but service was horrible , it is by far worst dinning experience, the person slice beef and ham yelled (Yes yelled ) to me and my dad who was confuse where is the starting line (because no one was in line , " make the line up or I won't give you slice " then I ask where is starting line ?

Then he yelled at most Asian customer , make the line up make the line up ... and mumble swearing in his lips ... wow (he wasn't Caucasian himself ) read more

21$ for weekday lunch buffet is on the pricier side but still it is better than Notch8's infamous 80$/person. For today's lunch, they had stations for bread, carved meat, some seafood, Asian dishes, salad bar, drinks and a dessert bar. They have a 90 minutes eating window restriction. Which is not strictly enforced..... Majority of the food offerings were good, fresh and healthy looking. Though the roast beef was on the tough dry side and the ham was on the underwhelming bland side. Nothing stands out as super outer worldly, however the desserts were definitely above average. Worth it. It is a "must try". read more

Hmmmmm. I think I am spoilt / jaded. After spending so much time in Vegas, and sampling a fair number of buffets - this one pales in comparison! It was over priced ( over 60 for 2 plus 15 for 2 drinks) The food selection left much to be desired, and what I did have wasn't good. It was supposed to be a Taste of Korea - but what was there wasn't much at all. Sea food pancake was decent - but not as good as the real thing. Other then that. There wasn't anything that appealed on that section. Skipped the meager salad bar. The ham was good but fatty, roasted potatoes were dried out, cabbage rolls disgusting, crab legs skinny and hard to get anything out of. Desert was typical - mini cheese cakes ( best item there ) no ice cream or frozen yogurt. Best thing about it was the view. Skip this place it's not worth it ! read more

Even, it is not enough the dishes for customer, many of customer line up for plate , what happening about the management & operation. It is very bad experience for my family New year dinner. For sure, l dont want to come back this restaurant again. read more

One of the important things to do on the family day's weekend: food!:) l believe food bring everyone together. This weekend we came to try River rock casino's buffet and were impressed by the food quality and choices. Consider it is buffet with affordable prices, we didn't expect much when I first came. The server was very friendly and bring us to a window seat, which really has a nice view and we can even look at the sunset. The highlight of the night is the Dungeness crab, which is pretty good for what you pay for, and it's UNLIMITED. The crab itself is very big and tastes fresh. I didn't try much of the meat nor the salmon, but they looked great. There are so much of desserts to choose from too. From cakes, mousse, cookies, pudding and even soft serve. And because they are small and delicate, so we can eat more. :p It's a nice dining experience, and we are glad they are trying to keep up and putting effort for their services. read more

RiverRockBottom buffet Short Version: 1) Parking lots and hallways up to the hotel restaurants smell like a septic tank from the inside. 2) They require 2% credit card fees and also ask you to tip your waiter UPFRONT before you even sit down. 3) Food is garbage 4) Rude and Hostile chef who will reprimand you for taking Food without their presence.....at a buffet. 5) If you don't watch after your children closely here even for 1 second, wait staff will mow them down. And they did. Long Version: Where do I even start with this place? Brought my wife and 15 month old baby to this River Rock Buffet for the first time and holy shit how is this place even in business?!!! Parking: We parked the car on the 2nd floor across the bridge access, and from the moment we opened the door an IMMENSE smell of urine filled the air and followed us throughout the elevator all the way up to the 4th floor bridge. It smelled like 25 people took turns pissing all over the walls and we literally gagged all the way up. The smell went away after you leave the elevator and head into the pay parking area. By then we are already somewhat grossed out. Host & Pay Area: At the host stand you are required to pay the $50 dollars up front, which isn't a big deal. But then we are told about the 2% credit card fees for paying with credit card which is odd for a big establishment that's supposed to be big brand Casino. Surely they can afford to either 1) Add the cost to the buffet price so it's less petty or 2) Cover the damn cost of business! Then right after you swipe they ask you to tip on the machine!!! At this point we are still at the host stand! We haven't even received any service yet and yet they expect a tip. No thanks, I'll pay the tip in cash after the meal, and AFTER we "experience" the service. I select zero. Lets see how the service is. Food: This one is hilarious. Most of the food is garbage and not worth $50. The muscles and clams are sour, the shrimp is so old its melting in your hands as you peel the shells. The main event was the carving station where the Ham and Prime Rib were. But no one was there to carve anything. Perhaps the chef had to use the bathroom, but someone should watch his back for those 5 minutes! Either way the station was empty so after I, along with many other people standing around waiting just grabbed the fork and helped myself to a piece and started to pour gravy on the beef. Then suddenly this older chef (looked Filipino in his 50s) barged over and started to reprimand me! Like actually reprimanding me like I was his child! He was hostile, rude and it felt like he wanted to fight me or something over that slice of beef. Absolutely batshit crazy. After that we felt so uncomfortable we were traumatized just to walk through the buffet for dessert, maybe someone will yell at us for using the soft serve machine like that place in Vegas where waitresses purposely treat you like shit. I think it's called Karen's Diners. Except they actually have service. Service: Literally non existent. Our server came and without a word dropped some waters on our table. We never saw her again once. We actually had to start bussing our own tables and put the plates to the empty table next to us. Our server took those plates, but never once acknowledged us, looked at us or even say a word to us. Completely ignored, I told a manager up at the host stand who then spoke with some staff that eventually came to our table right when we were about to leave. But we were already leaving. The Cherry on top: Right as we were leaving and unfolding our stroller, one of the male servers hand full of plates just steam rolls over our 15 month old and demolishes her face first into the ground almost landing on top of her... Our toddler is 18 pounds and he could have seriously injured her. I get that parents should watch over their children but at that moment of chaos and stroller unfolding, the level of staff here should also have some duty of care to their customers and be aware of their surroundings. read more

2.5 stars Prime rib night $29.95 The only other buffet that I've been to is the Mother's Day brunch buffet at the Pan Pacific, but that is double the price, but it has about 3 to 5 times the selection plus an omelette station. I go almost every year. My bar is pretty high. So at $29.95 I was not expecting anything near the Pan Pacific calibre. The prime rib is easily 5 stars. In fact, I think they used rib eye, not prime rib. This was beautifully done medium rare with a course pepper corn crusting. One of the best prime rib/rib eyes I've tasted, carved from a station. This was basically the star of the buffet. Everything else was decent to terrible. The terrible: Mini burger patties. Do NOT eat this. It was as dry as sawdust, no exaggeration. It was so bad, I spat it out. I normally do not spit out food. It was *that* bad. My daughter would not touch it. Pistachio crusted cod in seafood veloute. This was not very good. The seafood veloute tasted funny and did not pair well with the cod. Chicken nuggets. Frozen processed food. nuff said. Seafood cioppino. This was not good at all. One small prawn was enough for me. I did not eat the rest even though it looked promising. The medicore: Roasted chicken. Kinda bland and tasteless Ice cream station. This was watery tasting ice cream from a machine. McDonalds is better. King crab legs. Tasted OK but not really my cup of tea. I guess what put me off was watching someone load up the station pulling out the legs from a generic white plastic bucket wearing rubber gloves. The crab legs were also frozen. The shell was not brittle when cracked but was soft and malleable. Coffee - supermarket quality. The decent: Prawns at the salad station Pulled pork Pasta Cheesecake Fresh fruit Things I didn't try: Mashed potatoes Yorkshire pudding Sushi station The majority of the desserts, although I had small bits of some of the cake squares - I didn't like it, too dry. Steamed veggies Any of the Asian noodles and rice - it didn't look too appealing. In summary, this is 5 stars for the pricing for a prime rib night. I would do this again only for the prime rib. This was a sheer winner for me. The rest of the food is only OK to sub par, depending on what you like, and your personal tastes. Pro tip: For the prime rib carving station, ask for them to cut you more than one slice. I asked for 3 on each plate the first go round. I asked for two more on the second round. Don't be shy! They slice it quite thin. read more

got invited to lunch at the river rock buffet last week...been here long time ago and never liked the buffet. this time around, the only 2 things thats changed that i liked is the roast beef is pretty good and the dessert selection. other than that, everything else is bleh! for a 4 5 star casino/hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world, their buffet is an embarrassment. the bread selection so stale. the good choices minimal. the fish entree was cooked from frozen and drowned in sauce, the line -up for the hot food took so long bec of the carving station. hot food choices were not good. basically broken down to 3 meat selection...1 the beef, roast chicken, and fish! lol! others were meat pasta, veggie, ..the salad bar was boring. everything looked like mass produced and coming from a package. they even had an asian section serving sweet and sour pork and siu mai, stir fried noodles which were swimming in oil. and fried rice which was clumpy. oh, at least they have the fancy pop touch screen machines now...lol. the ice cream machine was broken when i went. mediocre borderline below average food quality at premium prices. thats how this place makes $! servers hated to work there. they were trying to rush people out. i will never go back and pay $20 for lunch or $30 for dinner. no thanks! its worth, $15 tops for an all you can eat. still no significant improvement after all these years. i am ashamed to recommend this buffet to out of town visitors. theres many choices out there for your hard earned $. cheers! happy eating! read more

The Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

It was such a great experience at the River Rock casino buffet. My family and I went here for a Victoria Day lunch and the last time I was here was 2-3 years ago. Selections were okay. They had sushi, Chinese food, some pasta, salads, desserts and seafood (mussels, crabs and shrimps). Seafood and desserts were my favourite part of the dining experience. Crabs were full of meat inside and couldn't stop eating them. They kinda tasted salty and it's meant taste like that I guess. Braised pork was served fresh. I really enjoyed the seafood congee and French onion soup and desserts were amazing. Cheesecakes, Green Tea Opera cake and custard pudding blew me away. They also had sliders, Pogo sticks, sausages and bacon and it was delicious. I really like scallop fried rice too. My family enjoyed them as well. Service was great. I asked the server for a coffee after a meal and she brought me some coffee afterwards. However it was too bitter for my liking. I know the menu is subject to change, but really missed apple crumble and soft ice cream I had long time ago. I felt satisfied trying variety of food here with my family. read more

For Lunch AYCE, this is the best value fresh clean food buffet style where you can get a very decent variety of food suiting to different dietary preference. It is evident by the line up at open everyday (and it get worst in Friday and weekends). I have shyed away from this place for months due to poor reviews, and being a person specializing in AYCE in Lower Mainland, I have to strongly disagree. First, this ain't America so you can't compare Vegas style buffet. To be fair to the Buffet at Riverrock, you need to compare it to other AYCE within Lower Mainland. For $22 plus tips lunch, you get a fabulous fresh salad bar, bread and soup station, ethnic food isle, carved meat aisle with roast veggies, mashed potatoes and all the usual fixings. The carved meat is what most people complained about, and I had my share of horrible experience but that is to do with myself not exercising basic buffet skills. If you go there within 30 minutes of opening, the carved meat is juicy, medium rare, and not dried under the heat lamp. Be smart and stay away from first few cuts and the end cuts, go for something else if the roast is at the beginning or at the end and come back later. For seniors who prefer a well-done piece of meat, they can request the chef to put it on the grill. Ethnic aisle usually serve Chinese food catered to the majority of Chinese customers. It rotates between steam BBQ buns and plain buns, with nice congee or soy drink, with fixings such as flossed pork, preserved mustard greens, roasted salty peanuts, chinese chips and chives. Next to it is steamed Beef Sui Mai , tofu with oyster sauce or some form of vegetable stir dories like braised eggplants with meat. There will be a fried noodle and fried rice. None of the food is at elite refined level, but they are all decent and a hell a lot better than any other Chinese food AYCE in town. The important thing for me is there seems to be no MSG in the food because I never get the MSG hit after eating here compared to elsewhere. Salad bar is the star! It consist of fresh seafood Including mussels, clams and prawns, 4 kinds of salad greens including Cesare salad that is not soggy, spinach, baby greens and lettuce; starchy fillers like potatoe and pasta salad; colorful corns, chickpeas, tomatoes, marinated peppers, pickles, and tons of food quality olives. There are at least three types of dressings plus standalone olive oil and vinegar located next to the bread aisle. For sprinkles and toppings, they offer radish, purple onions, bacons, shaved fresh Parmesan, blue cheese, carrots shavings, and sweet fresh fruits (I am sure I missed something). The muscles and clams are chilled, fresh and have great dipping sauce including Sirarcha, Tabasco and seafood sauce. That is the best salad bar selection offered anywhere in the Lower Mainland at this price range. And did I mention dessert? It is to die for! If you don't eat anything else but just dessert, this place is worth it. They have on rotation New York, bluberry or pumpkin cheesecake, while chocolate matcha opera cake, wry grey chocolate opera cake, tiramisu, pecan pie, fresh cookies, macaroons (that is chewy on inside), colorful meringue, chocolate brownie with gold flecks, jello, soft serve icecream with Oreo cookie toppings, fudge and sprinkles , and you can always throw a few pieces of fruits from the salad bar on your dessert plate. The one item that is not to par is the custard or cream brûlée-it tasted aweful.... not eggy or vanilla enough..... it's just not there. But 9/10 dessert items are all excellent and done with so much care, fresh everyday, that I cannot daily the pastry chef for the custard (it would be nice if they improve it before Christmas). There is always one single sugar-free mouse for those who are diabetic or sugar-free. I haven't tried their bread and soup yet but from what I could see, chicken noodles and minestrone are not worth my time nor stomach space. This buffet offers all the necessary sauces and fixings for every dish that it doesn't really feel like one is having a buffet, it's more like dining! The staff are very attentive although they could be very busy and not refill our coffee or tea until we wave them down. But they are always cheerful and have good attitude. They are exceptional when I see couple of higher rank manager inspecting the place. So I know this buffet means serious business and the management cares. There are free parking located 5 minute away from the main casino buffet building. In winter, it could be quite cold to go from car to buffet so be sure to bundle up. And while you are there, why not have some fun at the casino? Of you want to have the best lunch experience, go there on Friday between 11:30-12:00. They close at 2:30 so even if you arrive at 1:00 you may find yourself in a hurry to finish all the food and drinks (yes coffee, tea and sodas are included). read more

Service is great, the staff are professional and friendly, they remember us and welcome us back each time we come. Food is good, but not as good as it used to be, less variety available. One strange thing - there are no condiments on the table (salt, pepper, sugar, Splenda). We had to ask the staff for it. Very strange and time consuming. Not what we would expect from the River Rock. What could possibly be the reason? Were customers stealing the salt and pepper shakers? River Rock Buffet management - you need to do better. read more

Have I been spoiled by the countless Vegas buffets that, this one just can't compare?! We came here on a weekday night. Located within the River Rock Hotel, the Buffet has been renovated, with a much larger space, and many more tables. It's a nice atmosphere, overlooking the water and you can even see the Canada Line. (Well, basically one of the Canada Line stations does stop at the River Rock Casino.) Price for adults are $21.95. The breakdown: salads, entrees, desserts. Pop, tea and coffee are included but juices are not. Salads-your typical salads-romaine, mixed greens, spinach, pea shoots. There's different dressings, freshly grated parmasean, croutons, and bacon bits. Some unique items-orzo salad, and the couscous salad. They also have potato salad, a pasta salad, and a corn salad, which was essentially just corn tossed with some italian dressing. Salads are overall good, veggies are fresh and chilled just at the right temperature. Various buns and flatbread is also available. There's a fresh sushi station in which salmon and tuna rolls, california rolls, and this other roll with baby shrimp. The sushi was actually pretty good, the rice was done right, and the ingredients were fresh. I even asked the sushi chef to make me a custom roll of avocado and shrimp, and she was very willing to do it, and made it into a cone! Hot foods: half of this section consisted of Asian food. These consisted of stir frys of different types, a black bean sauce with beef and bean, a sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, fried rice, spring rolls, samosa. These looked a bit oily so I didn't take any of it. They also had soups-chicken gumbo and a butternut squash soup. Perhaps it's because there's no one really monitoring the food once it's out, but the sides of the pans were dry (so were the sauces), and the soup looked a bit chunky (probably from sitting there since the beginning of dinner service.) They have a freshly sliced roast beef section, but the meat just looked too bloody for me to consume. Pastas-a pesto one and another with a cream sauce was available. These didn't taste too bad. Salmon, mashed potatoes, and this other dish which looked like pork bits in an omlette was also available. Dessert was probably the best part of the meal. They had a chocolate fountain, with various fruits accompanying it. Creme caramel, assorted cakes (chocolate mousse,strawberry), cookies, cream puffs, and a couple of sugar free desserts were available. Quite a selection, and I was impressed with the quality of the desserts. Service was ok considering that night it wasn't too busy. Our water and drinks were constantly refilled, and plates were taken away accordingly. Overall, an ok experience. For the price, I would rather go somewhere else for a sit down dinner instead. I'm saving the buffets for my next Vegas trip. read more
