text: Aside from the refreshing views of its pools and landscaped courtyards, the Buffet falls short of an aria.\n\nThe selection boasts Alaskan King Crab Legs (diminutive, a bit salty), made-to-order pastas and omelets, sushi (more CA rolls than actual sushi), pizza, salad bar (very unexciting), and a carving station (the salmon baked in salt was A-OK).\n\nAria's buffet only saving grace lies in its taste of sweet. I really liked the grand Marnier cream puff. Sugar-free desserts (chocolate gelato, key lime pie) were scarce but good.  Pastry Chef Jean-Philippe Maury 's gives you a sample of his signature creations at the Buffet; but for full indulgence check out his patisserie next to the guest elevators.
