We did some snooping online for buffet after the Monte Carlo dropped the ball on us and made me very hesitant on trying another buffet on my birthday trip but OH MY MY! I just loved the food in here. \n\nThe line to get in was only about 3 parties deep but it took us about 25 minutes to be seated which was really annoying. WTF? How hard is it to just tell people to sit and take their drink orders UGH...Nobody acknowledged our wait for the longest time with an apology or an \""I'm sorry for the wait\"". Not cool or very professional for something inside a nice hotel like the Bellagio. I was expecting stellar service walking in and I don't think that was a very nice first impression of the place.\n\nThis place was very pricey but we got in line about 30 minutes prior to the dinner but paid the lunch price for the place. \n\nSome of the dishes that were available were: crab legs with butter, prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy, tortellini, 4 different types of pizzas to choose from, some kobe beef, seared salmon. The array of desserts were some of my favorites. Little cappuccino pudding cups, coffee tiramisu, macaroons, creme brulee, flan....excuse me I'm starting to drool all over again. \n\nThe place is pricey and I would have liked much more attentive service. I noticed the waiters were clearing a lot of tables thinking the customers were done only to have the patrons return to their table cleared and their drinks nowhere to be found. I also think the lighting had a really ugly yellow glow. It seemed kind of dim and boring.
