A: Dessert hybrids are among my favorite, and have proved to be the most failproof category within which to unite two traditionally separate food items in harmonious matrimony! Dr Frost conjures up *macaron ice cream sandwiches.* A tad bigger than traditional macarons, and unapologetically vibrant in color. The willy wonka hues give no indication of the natural flavors within, so I inquired and the cute server listed off "black cherry, pistachio, cheesecake, brownie..." among others. I went with pistachio which turned out to be an absolute win. While the sandwich consisted of lavender purple and seafoam turquoise, the pistachio flavor was actually quite subtle and delicate. Hard ice cream, sorbet, and Coldstonesque mashups are also available. My mom got the Russian mountain.. a lavish mix of chocolate, vanilla, mini peanut butter cups and caramel. Dad went for black cherry dark chocolate- a little too fruity for me but I tend to go for nut-flavored ice cream. All of our chosen ice creams merited endless "mmm's and ooh's" as we made our way down St. Denis.

Q: positive

A: Vegas-y, nice enough, and didn't smell like smoke. Pretty much your standard Casino without a lot of personality but overall clean, upscale, and with friendly patrons and employees.

Q: positive

A: I fly out to Vegas just to eat here! It's located in the Cosmopolitan hotel, and can be a bit of a difficult walk to find. I love the design, layout, and the whole ambience of the restaurant. When you come for dinner it is about $45 dollars a person, and for lunch it is about half the price. I've been here several times for both and I would very much recommend coming here for lunch for their quality of food is just about the same! Also, the wait for dinner can be very long. They have an appetizer area with various salads, cheeses, and many other types of specialties which always varies. They also have a macaroni bar where you can choose your own toppings to have mixed in into your personal bowl. Along with their huge selection of various entree foods, they do have a sushi area, and a large dessert area with pretty little pastries/desserts as well as gelato. I love how they have some of their selections already separated into portions on a mini pan. Remember that you do not have to finish everything, so that you have room to try everything else out! I never seemed to receive great service from the workers though. It would always take a long time for my old plate to be taken, and they do not check up on you often. But other than that, this is my all-time favorite buffet to go to.

Q: negative

A:
I was excited to check out this new place on Willy st. It looks great from the outside with a nice patio to relax on. I agree with some of the other reviewers though - you can do way better with your money at nearby places. Our server raved about the ramen noodles, but for $12 I felt ripped off. The noodles were just ok (really how fancy can ramen-style noodles be), but the broth was super salty and it wasn't very filling. They also talk up their infused eggs, which is basically a salty hard boiled egg dipped in soy sauce and a few spices - save your money. I didn't try the dumplings, but I probably won't waste my time or money going back to do so.
