Sunset Station Buffet Gets a Facelift

We were taken out to dinner by my crazy friend Stanley tonight to the remodeled Feast Buffet at Sunset Station. At first glance is is obvious that they were looking to create the same sort of feel as the buffet at Green Valley Ranch. While very similar, it lacks some of the higher end items that it’s sister property up the street has such as peeled shrimp cocktail and crab legs.This is probably why they could run a summer time dinner promotional price of $10.99 (for Boarding Pass Members).

They kept the same basic catagories they always had of Asian, Italian, American, Mexican and added a flambe desert section where you can get bannas foster, cherries jubilee and peaches with rum sauce over various flavors of gelato. The food selection were upgraded as well. Higher end items such as baby shrimp salad and chilled asparagus appeared on the salad section along with expanded bread selections.

The Asian section offered a really nice selection of items such as vegetable chow fun, spicy eggplant, dumplings and barbecqued duck along with others.? There was a fantastic wild mushroom ragu in the Italian section that I had over gorgonzola flavored polenta which would rival anything in a non-buffet restaurant. Present were the typical carving station and American fare. The fajitas in the Mexican section were very good. What really was upgraded was the desert section. They now have about six flavors of gelato, the flambe station I previously mentioned and a much better offering of pasteries.

The atmospere is much nicer with wood and stone accents, leather chairs and a feeling more of a restaurant than a buffet.

As buffets go, it’s not bad for the $10.99 promotional price, but I don’t think I would pay the $15.99 regular price. They are also running a $4.99 lunch special for seniors which appers to be a really good deal.? Sunset Station is located on Sunset Road in Henderson between I-95 and Stephanie Street.
