  Phenomenal cuisine! Top rated chef...I enjoyed the blackened salmon with Brussels sprouts and broccoli it was spectacular for dessert I had the flan which is to die for! Literally don't leave without trying it. Also sampled the baked chicken which was above par...my experience was that comparable to Cesar's Palace buffet in Las Vegas.

  This place was AWFUL!!!
  
  They charged us $20 which is about $5 more than what I usually pay at other casinos.
  
  The selection of food was very scarce. Lots of empty counter space behind those sneeze guards and the quality was horrendous.
  
  The white chicken was dry, the egg fu yung tasted like burnt rubber with the same consistency, the pepperoni pizza had to be gnawed through, the cheese pizza had a layer of sauce so thin, I had to lift the cheese to see if it even had sauce because I could not taste it and the dough tasted like yeast. The macaroni and cheese was unnecessarily seasoned to a point of intolerance and the green beans in the green bean casserole were definitely undercooked. For dessert, I had a choice of orange mousse that had started to separate and left a waxy taste in my mouth OR, chocolate pudding that had grown skin. There were no pastas offered and their fruit bar was again, stale from the day. When I see peaches sitting in syrup, they should not be dark orange in color and beginning to wrinkle. I ordered a coke which seemed to taste a bit low on syrup in the mix and was rather pale in color.
  
  The ONLY good thing I can say about this place is that the staff was very friendly and quick with our drinks.
  
  The next day we had a magnificent meal at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville inside the Mall of America and it cost about $3 LESS per person.
  
  I will never return to this buffet but, I will leave some advice for whomever runs it, in hopes they read this review.
  
  1. Drop your prices by a few dollars
  2. You should double your offerings at the very least
  3. change your food more frequently (maybe if you lowered your prices, you would entice more people to dine here creating a natural need to change your food)
  4. If it's not cost effective to make final servings towards the end of the day and you insist on serving your guests stale food, lower the price during those hours.
  
  If I could give you 0 stars, you'd still only have 1 star from me, ONLY because of your staff. The 1 star I have left here today, is strictly for their efforts.

  Interestingly after they have switched to Sunday things seemed to have been a lot slower. The service is still great but the food has varied. Generally speaking the crab legs use to come out in several batches by 9pm they saved all the orange ones and placed out all the darker ones which are normally dried and smushy. As for the offerings it seemed to have decreased. I actually did enjoy the quieter atmosphere. The reason for a few stars worth going to.
