text: I had high hope for the Bellagio Buffet since it was the Bellagio and for the price we paidnThe dinner time starts p which on Sundays the price is So we got in line and hoping it was not too long of a wait cuz we were hoping to pay for the lunch price which was less and so we did The downfall to what he had to pay is if there is a party of means you are automatically charged gratuity To my opinion gratuity is earned and not to be expected but that is another subjectnnThe ambiance was quite disappointing for methe place looked dated and really needs an update It had a lot of dark colors and just looked dreary nnSo I make my rounds and look around first to see what they had When I go to a buffetI like to just take maybe half a spoon of something that I am interested in just to taste it and not waste it if it is yuk I started off with the prime rib and had them grill it a bit since it looked like it was still alive The aujus was very runny and the prime rib was very chewy Quite disappointing to me The tastethe taste is what you expect it to be But definitely not melt in your mouth as one yelper exclaimednThe seaweed salad was good but how can you mess that up Sushiehhand not much selection as far as sushi goes Calamari was like eating white fat rubber bands like the ones that holds the broccoli together at your grocery store lol Roasted potato was ok nnThey were in the midst of changing the food selection to dinner foods which what we were all waiting for The next plate was mostly crab legs Too frozen and already split in half which I would rather open up myself and be able to enjoy a whole piece out of the leg The pastas were good Nothing spectacular and the Chinese Pork bun was good nnDesserts was nothing to be amazed by Flan was flanthe desserts in the shot glasses panna cotta some mousse coffee thing was kind of runny but good The carrot cake was moist and the coffee was your average tasting coffee nnOur serverno it was not his fault but come onif you know you are getting almost each from us from the mandatory gratuityI would expect our drinks to be constantly filled and NO there was not any real steak knives to cut the prime rib We were expected to cut the meat with our generic knives that came with the table and yes I asked the server for a real steak knife and he looked at me like I asked for something personal GeeznnEven the hot tea I always ask for that with my mealI did not get a lemon nor honey with my tea nnWould I go here again NOnWould I recommend the place to others ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE BELLAGIO BUFFET ITSELFnnSo far my favorite right now is The M Resort Studio B Buffet Yes they have raised the pricebut I would say the overall experience at the M is worth it nnI am paying a lot of moneynot to eat everything in sight and have to roll me out of thereI am paying a lot of money for quality and taste of the food the attentiveness of my server who deserves a nice tip and the ambiance of the place
