This is the Rio's "other" buffet, devoted entirely to seafood. The dining area features 13,000-square-feet of bold colors and design, emphasizing the cool hues of the ocean’s blues and ice-frosted whites, and leather chairs and high back banquettes in various shades of metals, blues and purples. The food stations are set up to mirror that of a seafood market. We like the swordfish enchiladas, freshwater prawns from Indonesia, Alaskan king crab, Canadian snow crab, Thai barbecue prawns and the sushi. The gelateria (dessert station) features a custom-made silver rotating gelato display with ten flavors and a flambé station, as well as an array of classics including cheesecakes, chocolate éclairs and beignets. Wines and specialty cocktails nicely complement the cuisine. $38 (children 4-8 $24). |
