text: In cranky old person voice Buffets nowadays are getting more and more highfalutin charging more and more for food that we can only look at longingly when our guts are full to the point of poppinnnFact The duecor at Bacchanal is equal to that of Michelinstarred restaurants a setting in which overpaying for your food seems to make sense There is no question this place is beautifulnFact The bounty is plentiful This is the stuff that could trigger sensory overloadthink Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory but with more than just candy nFact Their dim sum is better than most regular Chinese dim sum places I have been to in Orange County Sad to say but it is truennUnfortunately the ultimate fact isunless you are some type of competitive eater or secretly employ the use of a vomitorium like they used to do in the olden Bacchanal days you are only eating of what you are paying for the buffet Everything else is going to the cost of duecor and excess food Getting your moneys worth is a purely subjective mission herennAs beautiful as the rest of the place was hubby and I got shoved into what appeared to be an overflow room where our chairs did not match and our table was no better than a two top in a French cafuennFood was plentiful as I mentioned and nothing really stood out It was definitely a shock and awe type feelingnnMy biggest issue with this place was the service Our server was ok not super attentive so we did not get refills unless we craned our necks to flag him down The biggest offender however was the surly possibly racist jerk at the carving station I witnessed him being openly rude to a meek lady with limited English skills and then suddenly offering the next few Caucasian people the biggest brightest smiles and an almost subservient tone of voice When it was my turn I was once again shocked at his brusqueness and his rude tone of voice I smiledchuckled and asked him if he actually gave away the entire ribeye to which his reply was an icy glare accompanied with No you cannot have the whole steak I ended up with the worst fattiest cut he could scrounge up for me My next visit to his station was wordless even when I attempted some banter I am typically a live and let live type of person but if I ever run into this guy again I believe will call him out on his rudeness A subsequent courtesy email to Caesars customer service received no responsennAs other Yelpers have noted it is more expensive than typical buffets out there It just depends on whether you think you are willing to pay for duecor and maybe slightly better tasting food I am still down with Wicked Spoon
