Not worth $149 a person. Maybe $80. Taste like buffet food. I was hoping for more.

Great selection of seafoods and desserts during weekend dinner buffet. Only wish the quality can go beyond buffet experience to worth the hefty price of $150 per person.

The buffet is open Saturday and Sundays. Reservations strongly suggested. Price, you are going to spend around $320 for a party of 2. Including tip and parking. Maje sure you grt your parking validation. If not itll cost you $50 to park. Was it worth it? Not really. Went around 6 pm. Very cramped. Long line for the lobster. But after 730ish it isn't so bad. Expect tons of celebrating groups. The food was tasty at the same time some of the items were cold. Got prime rib.(5/10 because of portion. Too small) And I got barley 3 mouths full. They are very greedy with the amount they give out. There was a lot of sea food but not a lot of variety. Other dishes kept running out. Desert was ok. (7/10) Mostly pre-packaged cakes. I think I most likely won't be going back.

Very dirty, the chairs, the floor, the dishes, the food is nothing in the other world, there are better buffets, cheaper, it is not worth it.

Delicious foods, with a great variety, and very helpful
I was very happy with my visit. I've heard a lot about this place so I wanted to try it for myself. I'd tried other places like Bachanal in Vegas and I wasn't impressed, I've tried the Queen Mary brunch and it was good but I didn't feel like I got my money's worth specially with Bachanal, Cafe Siera though I think was definitely worth what I paid. It's located in the Hilton Hotel at Universal Studios right between the bar and the check in desk. It's not at first what you'd expect but it's really nice the tables, silverware, service is really great. They place a large tray on your table to put shells from the crabs, lobsters, oysters, scallops, and anything else you want to put in there. Every time you go up to get more food they've already cleared out the tray and put new napkins on the bottom of it and your used plates are usually gone. The food was really good, beer, wine, and champagne along with non alcoholic drinks are included with the meal, and I like how they keep everything freshly stocked including the lobster and king crab legs! The food was really good quality. I really liked the steamed lobster, cocktail shrimp, and rack of lamb. For those that love desserts they had a large assortment to choose from! From macaroons to cakes, fruit, pastries, chocolate contains, freshly made crepes with gummy bears made in house and an ice cream station! My daughters favorite out of the entire meal was the custom crepe they made for her, she couldn't stop taking about it! Pro tip with the lobster and crab, stick with either the steamed or chilled ones, the claws and king crab cooked in sauce and beating was messy and not as flavorful. Overall it's a bit pricey but compared to what I've paid at places like Maestro's, I would definitely come back here for special occasions! If you like seafood and all you can eat I highly recommend the weekend dinner buffet!

The buffet was extremely decadent. It was unlimited lobsters, oysters, and chocolate. They did not have very many diverse selections of cooked dishes but all the food was high quality. I would recommend when making a reservation to come in hungry and to ask for seating at the edge of the room (the seats were pretty bunched up together). Would definitely go again.

Exploitation of the sea just for unconscious overconsumption. This places shouldn’t exist!
Bellow average food for its price , no flavor , no quality at all . Great customer service . Nice environment to spend time . Definitely not worth the $100+ price tag

So much food ? you really have to have a big appetite to enjoy all the dishes. There are lots of options from seafood to meats to deserts. Great experience, and I will definitely come back. Staff is friendly and professional. Enjoy the pictures.Parking: Parking is expensive, so let your ticket validate. My was $50 but dropped to $13.50 with validation.
We Went For our mother's Birthday Party of 12 we all enjoyed the variety of seafood & all you can drink mimosas Best Of all the Staff & Pianists sang Birthday to our Mom. THANK YOU

I haven't had dinner here in about six years. I came with a couple of friends. We were here for brunch on Thanksgiving and wanted to try dinner. I'm glad to see that the food and service are excellent again. The executive chef, Edy, stopped by to visit our table. I told him that the softshell crab were the best I have ever had. The manager, DeeDee, also came by to check on us. We will definitely return.

So far the best seafood (crab and lobster) buffet in Southern California. Live music, wine and beer included. The food quality is excellent! The price is high, but still reasonable.
