A: I have been to this location a few times and haven't been super impressed, but my most recent visit was by far the worst. There was a wait which I didn't mind seeing as it was a Saturday night in Scottsdale. After we out our names on the list my boyfriend went to the bar to get drinks. The bartender didn't say more than 2 words to my boyfriend and just stared at him as if he was wasting his time. My boyfriend asked the guy what they had on tap and the rude reply given was "beer" as the bartender walked away. After throwing a menu at my boyfriend he stood there not saying a word. We ordered drinks and my boyfriend asked how much he owed and the rude bartender said "'more than 5 less than ten, but I'll print you a receipt since you can't seem to figure it out". We paid and walked away. It was by far the rudest behavior I have ever had from a bartender. Our server was ok, but the wait was not worth the first impression of the night and the mediocre food.

A: This was the first stop on our buffet tour of Vegas and it was a good choice. I felt like I was sitting at the eating area in Disneyland (this is actually going to be a compliment so keep reading) that sits between Fantasyland and Big Thunder Mountain. The faux-outdoor-feeling-under-the-blue-concrete-sky was accentuated by the little buildings set up around the main "outdoor" dining area which gave it the Disneyland feel but my friends and I were seated under a tree which added to the ambiance. Our server was fast, funny, and had a big smile for us each time she came by. I think her name was Ivanka but I'm not sure. Anyway, she was great. The food is supposed to be from different parts of France but regardless, I only saw proteins, vegetables, and desserts and I partook equally. Walked out of there pretty stuffed.

A: After the 4 hour drive from OC, we hit up this buffet to refuel. We arrived on a Tue so it wasn't busy and we got in right before 3pm so we got the lunch price. Score! The restaurant itself is very open, modern, light and clean. Our first server seemed horrified we brought our toddler but then he was quickly replaced by Rosa, who was very friendly and attentive. They have seafood, BBQ, comfort foods, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese - maybe a few others that I may have missed. They have this Asian soup bar with pho, ramen and something else, but that was pretty cool. They even have congee! I actually think the quantity of stations was a lot less than other high profile buffets like Wynn or Bellagio. However, I thought the food quality was pretty good. I especially like the Mexican dishes. My least favorite was the dessert section! It has the impressive display of less than stellar tasting desserts. They did have gelato, mochi, cookies, macarons, etc. They have custom crepes and souffles. I enjoyed the warm chocolate chip cookie and warm chocolate lava cake ramekins the most. I think it's worth going for the lunch prices for sure, especially if you love seafood, they have yummy crab legs, oysters and shrimp!

I like Great Buns and I cannot lie. I don't have great buns. If I eat here too much I might have great big buns though. A girl can dream, right? Back to the bakery. Great Buns is really great. Great prices: $1.65 for pastries the size of the Sun $.60 bagels $.95 Black and White cookies. These are my favorite because surprisingly they are a normal size unlike most deli ones and quite tasty, too. Great flavor. Everything is homemade and you can taste it. Am I a huge fan of the cheese danish? No. The pastry part tastes like pure butter if that's your thing. Also the Loch Ness Monster could be swimming in the tasty cheese part because there's just so damn much of it. You need floaties just to make your way through it. Every other item I've tried I love. Especially the coffee cakes. You cannot beat their taste and value. Perfect to bribe coworkers with or sabotage their fight to fit in that bikini. Great Service- I am not going to say they are great, but hey, they give me my sweets at a killer price. That's enough service for me. Only reason this isn't a five star for me is because of the Everything Bagel. Here is why. The bagel doesn't seem to have that strong salt flavor or garlic kick. It has tons of toppings, just not the ones that make Everything my drug of choice. Do I still get one every single time I'm here? What do you think? Also, they do not have cream cheese for sale. Annoying. FYI. This is a grab and go bakery. No seats. I hope I still sold this bakery to you because it is worth a visit or 500. Don't act like you don't like some Great Buns.
