Wicked Spoon Buffet at Cosmopolitan

I'm standing in front of one of the walls as you enter the Wicked Spoon Buffet at Cosmopolitan.

We usually avoid buffet's in Vegas but have at one time or another tried most of the higher rated ones. We enjoyed the Wicked Spoon enough to return to it the next day and both times were for lunch so the dinner buffet likely has some different or additional offerings.

Current price for the lunch buffet at Wicked Spoon is $19.00 and I felt that was a great price considering that the large selection of mini desserts they offer alone would cost about $3 or $4 each at my local Whole Foods.

Quite a few selections are served in individual containers which I thought was a great idea both for sanitary reasons and to avoid the waste that happens at buffets all too often due to people loading up on items they later can't finish. The dish on the right is their chili with a topping of cornbread and my husband says it was outstanding chili.

At the two lunches we ate at there was a lot of pasta selections and short ribs were featured in several dishes from Korean style ribs, in small pasta casseroles and small slices of the boneless meat served in those individual containers.

A lot of the salads were in separate dishes. They had shelled medium sized shrimp and cocktail sauce together in a separate dish though you could take as many dishes as you wanted.

I took a lot of the photos toward the end of the lunch hour so unfortunately they were starting to look empty before they replaced them with dinner dishes, but you have my word they were quick to replace all their food items and we didn't have to wait for anything.

Everything we tried was excellent which was why we returned the next day. I only recall one chicken dish which was lemon piccata, but they had plenty of different dishes of beef, pork, lamb and some seafood items like baked cod, shrimp, salmon, sushi.

There were lots of salad and vegetable dishes to select from at various stations.

In addition they had sushi and there was someone at that station always making it fresh, but somehow I seem to have missed taking a photo of that and the other station where they made the omelets to order.

There were about 4 different types of pizza, lots of breads and cheeses to select from and the dessert station was marvelous. Look for yourself in the following photos.
