Alright guys just sat down at the cafe Sierra and I got my plates of lobster and king crab legs right here
So only one per order me and Leah got one each
Look at this guys fresh seafood, but it comes at a cost. This is one of the most expensive buffets
I've been to definitely a very luxurious buffet. Probably one of the most luxurious buffets
I've been to for dinner this Saturday dinner. They only have it once per week. It's
139 per person
Hefty and
tomorrow for Sunday brunch
It's $95 a little bit cheaper, but they don't have king crab legs
But they do have lobster thermidor some of you guys are gonna hate me for this got all this delicious looking food
But I saw this doughnut
I'm a sucker for doughnuts. So I'm gonna start off with this right here
Super fluffy
Delicious glazed doughnut, but yeah got a warm up the stomach with the appetizer before we go in on
the seafood salute
All right. I love king crab legs guys
So we're gonna start off with this probably on fast-forward this part because I suck at the shelling these guys
But they got the crab crackers for us right here. Let's see. Whoo. These are spiny. It kind of hurts my hands
All right, I
Got it open. All right guys, let's pull it out right here
Look at that
nice huge fleshy piece of
King crab. I like to take my first piece without a butter lemon or anything see how sweet the crab legs are
Mmm. Oh, yeah, nice and sweet
Delicious huge and fleshy
Could be a little bit sweeter. I had some very good king crab claws in my lifetime, but these for all you can eat
They're actually king crab legs, so that's all you guys need to know huge and fleshy
I'm gonna put some salt pepper lemon or butter on these salute
Look at that
These are huge they pack a punch for sure. All right, let's try our fresh lobster, right?
Oh, look at that. See all those juices squirt out. That's how you know, they're fresh
All right getting down and dirty with it
Got the whole
Lobster right here. They made it nice and easy for us. Let's go in
Bunch of head butter in there for you guys that are fans of that
Yeah, let's get to my favorite part of a lobster comment down below with your favorite part of lobsters
Mine is definitely the tail. Let's try it off
Mmm nice juicy moist
Fleshy definitely gonna need some butter with this salute. All right, ladies gonna try the bone marrow and tell us what she thinks
I think it has bacon in it
Wait, how do you eat it again?
You kind of just serve it. You can't just scoop like the marrow and kind of like slurp it like a soup. Oh, yeah
Soily
Kind of fatty like butter. I know it's very like like you're slurping the melted fat of like a beef
Before we continue with the seafood Leia brought a mouth-watering plate of meat. So we're gonna try that out
So we got the prime rib right here looks nice and medium rare
douse it with some
Aju, so let's see how it is
Extremely tender I melted
Probably some of the best prime rib I've had a buffet. Well, that's good
So Leia got the rare piece for me and there's also like a well-done piece right here
So you get a you get whatever piece you want
so
Let's get a down-and-dirty with these Korean barbecue ribs
Calbee right here la short ribs the one with the three bones. Take a bite
On the well-done side really crispy, but there's like a nice sweet glaze here. It's kind of spicy, too
Hmm. I like that. There's like a twist to these
Korean barbecue short ribs like it's not the regular just sweet glaze a little spice to it. Mm-hmm
There's a lot of options. Definitely gonna get more but off to a great start
That clean the bones I thought these were chicken tenders when Leia brought them but it's actually calamari, let's try this
It is chicken
Hmm so these are chicken tenders
You would go to a buffet and get chicken tenders
Raising cane style just kidding. They're really crunchy though. And the meat inside is not dry. Good. I saw that too
It was next to calamari
Guys it's like sensory overload here
I'm getting a DD walking around the buffet because I went up to get some melted butter for my crab legs
But it's also many delicious items. I couldn't resist like this bow. I love bows
I'm gonna come back for the dim sum, but just snackable small items like this like this and the doughnuts. I cannot resist it
Let's try out the bow
Not as fluffy as I thought because I might have been sitting out for a little bit but
Nice authentic dim sum pork inside is good. Sweet
Got that steamed bun. All right, so I got catfish earlier with the
Calamari, I thought was chicken tenders, but this is the calamari right here. Let's try it out
these chicken tenders
Maybe they mislabeled them, but these are chicken tenders again. They're not bad though
I think they're mixed because
This is a piece of squid right here. So this is the calamari
Okay. Yup. This is squid. I love the texture of squid pops in your mouth
Look at this. I'm very proud of myself for this. I did like a perfect crab pull so
We're gonna do a comparison right now. So you guys see this. This one is the
Alaskan snow crab and this is the king crab. I'm gonna both dip it in butter. All right
So we got some butter right here. I'm gonna do a little dipping action. Okay
All right, look at this
Look at this. So visually the
King crab is a little bit more color. So let's try it out
All right, that's snow crab
Mmm
All with the butter. This is heaven. So they're both great
The snow crab is also pretty fleshy but main distinctions that there's way more flesh in here like you could feel in every bite
Yeah, they're both great. Yeah, this is just a more meat more meat
All right, let's try the lobster with the butter right here
Mmm
That butter is a game-changer
Makes the lobster that much more savory. Let me know if you guys are team lobster or
crab legs
I actually think I prefer the crab legs at this buffet and then lobster crazy enough, but really love lobster tails
I'm gonna do a lobster counter. I think this is a my third tail, but they're half tails
So, but even though they're half tails are pretty big
All right, y'all so we're gonna try out our carnivore plate right here
I already tried the prime ribs. Like I said some of the best primary I had at any buffet super tender
Could use a little crust but super tender but oh, so we got the roasted duck right here
I rarely see this at any buffet roasted pork
So there's a lot of Asian options here guys and a filet
Mignon right here got the beef rib from the prime rib and a tandoori chicken wing
So let's just grab one of these roasted porks
It's char siu pork sweet barbecue pork in Vietnamese a sissy
And it's super tender because char siu pork can be like really tough if made wrong but nice crust on outside a little bit sweetness
Super tender for my face standards 10 out of 10 pork char siu
I would probably eat this with rice, but I'm at a buffet. So I want to save my
stomach space for
More of the main item want to try a little bit of everything here. This is the roasted duck right here
unbelievable item at a buffet
Rarely see this
So duck is a fattier poultry. I love the skin right here. The skin has to be nice and crispy. Let's try it out
Nice layer of fat on that duck really fatty great duck, but the skin could be a little bit crispier
maybe because it was just sitting out there, but
for buffet standards
Roasted duck great flavor. All right. Let's try this filet mignon right here. Nice medium piece
I am seriously impressed with the quality of all these items feels like
I mean it is like a restaurant a chef making it but feels like
It's just food straight from a restaurant or from like a head chef. All the meat has been amazing
I seriously have nothing to complain about. I say the crab is like 8 out of 10, but all the meat items
Amazing blew me away. So let's try the beef rib right here. Let's take a nice bite
One of the drier beef ribs I've had but definitely there's a lot of meat on here a
Lot of meat and this is where all the crust is on the prime rib
Crunchy but a little bit on the dry side
Let's try this tandoori chicken wing right here
There's that Indian spice on there a little bit of sweetness too
Really crispy a little bit on the dry side for a wing, but I like the flavor on the outside different type of chicken wing
All right
Half lobster tail
counter
So I know there's a lot of families here very family-friendly
Environment very nice and spacious in here a lot of natural lighting look at the window up there and there's some live
entertainment for dinner as well
So after I get the main carnivore and seafood plates, I like to do like a random plate
So I got some shrimp cocktail right here some cocktail sauce. Let's try it out
hmm
nice cold
Thick fleshy pieces of cocktail shrimp. The cocktail sauce is on like the horseradishy side. Got some
Shimei right here. Let's dip in some soy sauce
And I'll give it like a 6.5 out of 10. It doesn't score. Seemed a little bit dry. I've been sitting there for a while
So we got some
Har gow right here. Give it some soy sauce
Yeah, that har gow has been sitting out. Not good. I couldn't take that har gow down
But uh, let's try some of this ginger scallion
Crab legs right here with the Chinese
sauce love these
Like a nice thick glaze of the ginger scallion
Chinese glaze on there and there's a bunch of flesh in this crab leg
Mm-hmm. That's good. One of my favorite like sauces for
Crab and you know seafood really good 10 out of 10 for these
Gotta eat this with rice. But yeah guys really great dinner vibes
That man is still going on that acoustic guitar playing the classics. What was the one he just played?
Played some NSYNC My Way. What's the one before? Careless Whisper?
Acoustic versions. Great vibes here for dinner
All right guys last but not least the dessert one of my favorite sections at a buffet always gotta
Cap the buffet off with a bang. So we got freshly made crepes right here
You ask them to make it. However, you like I got mixed berries with some ice cream on top and Nutella inside
Some creme brulee
There's a chocolate fountain. I got some marshmallows and
chocolate-covered strawberries right here
And some bread pudding, let's try out the ice cream crepe before it melts. So
Oh nice creamy vanilla bean good mix with the Nutella
Pretty good thin soft
Spongy crepe with a bunch of Nutella in it. My favorite combo with a crepe Nutella and berries
Nice and warm and
That's the ice cream to cool it down
Let's try out this bread pudding right here
Nice and warm
Kind of mushy. Let's try this marshmallow right here
It's sugar on sugar right here
Can't miss with chocolate-covered strawberries one of my favorite combos
Try this little creme brulee right here. You know how we like to do it
Like give it that hardness test tap it on the top. See if there's a nice sear
Okay, don't hear too much
but
Thin sear but I mean it's buffet creme brulee so didn't have too much high expectations, but it's pretty good
nice vanilla
Nice vanilla bean custard
With a little bit of sugar on the top solid creme brulee for our buffet standards give it a out
All right guys
I'm stuffed just finished at the cafe Sierra one of the most luxurious and expensive
Buffets I have been to so I've been here once before for brunch
They upped their price a little bit from last year when I went but they definitely up their quality as well
Great food. Like I said the highlights for me were all the meat and Asian items
Great quality, but like I said, one of the most expensive buffets 140 for dinner
So I'll definitely say so I'll say like this is more of like a treat, you know going out with your family
You guys want to splurge and you guys could definitely do it here because there's some great options to be had
And yeah had a great time here DVW score for this whole buffet. I'll give a solid
8.5 out of 10. So if you guys like lobster and king crab legs here, you guys can have a feast
