text: We tried the buffet at Le Village in Paris Paris on a friday night We were smart to get the Groupon that came out recently so it was a good deal I did see almost all the people pay retail The line was crazy we waited almost an hour nFirstly I could not understand what all the fuss was about I get that the ambience of the place was nice but apart from that I was not impressed The French ambience does make the experience a little nicer as the buffet is organized by food from different provinces in France That was the only interesting part the food and service were really averagennFood I was not impressed by the variety It contained only French varieties and no delicacies In Vegas one does walk in expecting some level of opulence delicacies and surprises especially if I am paying pp which were missing Of course since it was only French menu the few dishes they had were well prepared However as a vegetarian there was barely anything tasty to eat The made to order crepes were the saviors Although they were very nice delicate and well prepared I have had better crueapes in food trucks in Austin Apart from that all there was were different kinds of potatoes to eat Really after All the hype about French cooking I was expecting some nicely prepared vegetarian options Even the bread collection was so mundane you can find those in your local cafeteria nThe macaroons were the highlight of the dessert section but again what if they are flour less and delicate A cookie is still just a cookie bake me a nice cake No cheesecakes no tortes no ice creamnThe seafood collection seemed ton be nice and people were enjoying the crab legs There was a decent grilled chicken in a so called Mediterranean section but nothing else looked interesting I saw shrimp clams but nothing seemed grilled or spiced Probably the worst hummus I have had was here Even the usual suspects like pizza Mac n cheese which are kid friendly were missing or scarcennThe drinks and Service we had the bottle of wine with our package but did not feel like having it then The server said their policy was that they had to open it Bummer We got the red wine and it was a nice balanced Cabernet There were other drinks like ice teas sodas mimosasbeers etc The server did not return for the remainder of our dinner and never asked to refill our drinks or bring any other They have waitresses dressing up in old French maid costumes but they are really old and cannot keep up with the tables There were so many empty tables but they could not get them cleaned in time to get guests seatednnId say forget the French hype and go for a more traditional buffet next door at pH
