3.5 stars, rounded down. I had REALLY high expectations for this buffet and unfortunately, I was not wow-ed or impressed by much.\n\nthe good:\n- really cute presentation: i did love how MOST things are portioned out into really cute containers. prevents one from getting too much of every single item\n- the standout foods: DUCK CONFIT RAVIOLI, kale salad, crab legs, chocolate covered strawberries \n\nthe bad:\n- PRICE! Omg, we paid $45 (not including tax/tip) for dinner on New Year's day, which I wouldn't have mind much but...\n- SO MANY FOOD RAN OUT! No macarons, there were signage for more food but none was placed out\n- LACK  OF VARIETY! there really wasn't that much special options beside the bone marrow & the made to order mac n cheese bar. Their Japanese selection was super weak, no salad bar, and their desserts seemed typical. \n\nWe should've went to Bacchanal instead!!!
