The Most EXPENSIVE Buffet We Ate | Cafe Sierra
At $140 per person, Cafe Sierra at the Hilton Hotel in Universal City, Los Angeles, is the most expensive AYCE buffet we’ve tried. Was it worth it?

Yea buffets were never for small eaters! I saw a girl go to a free burger event and she could only eat 40% of the burger and didn’t take the rest to go!

I agree with you 💯. A friend wanted to take me to the Wynn buffet for my birthday. I told her No, because I couldn't justify the cost vs. how much I could eat.

I agree, I can’t eat that much now either. Glad others can enjoy it though.
Wow! This buffet looks incredible. I feel like the seafood outdoes Bacchanal and Wynn Buffet. Also… I think Erin needs a spin-off channel. She’s so relaxed and well-spoken in front of the camera.

The Imperial Seafood buffet in Vegas has a new owner. The food looks so good and only $42 for Fri and Sat night
Thanks for sharing the buffet experience. A bit pricey but we will enjoy and experience through all of you. Love Erin's participation! Hoping Leslie will be more visible too. Enjoy❤
Your daughter Erin looks amazing - what a gorgeous natural beauty she is further enhanced by the lovely make up ! Great video, yummy food choices and that part where Lisa's said to Bill :"I'm talking about the crab...." killed me LOL along with her silence when she chewed and contemplated that snail thingie LOL !

Don't remember what I wrote on the original upload. 😂 Great to see Erin and Lesley join you for dinner. Erin saying they have "live meat" had me laughing. I know she meant to say "live lobster" but all I can think is cows waiting in the back. LOL Watching Lesley shake her head "no" when Lisa was about to eat the snail had me laughing. Great review. Pricey but definitely want to check it out.

The easiest way to get the crab out of the leg is to take a small fork tine and crack open the side of the shell. It should open up quite easily and let you pull out the entire piece.

I have basically bouggt the same groceries for 3 years now -started after a major surgery. The cost of these same groceries has over tripled - close to quadrupled in those 3 years. So when i see the over 100 dollar proce on buffets woth all that seafood - i feel its justified based on my own groceries! Plus the low available product on US waters. We've kinda eaten ourselves out of availability! A great video! Love your mix of high dollar and reasonable priced eateries! And when you bring in family reinforcement!❤ ❤❤❤❤

Thats what I said! They went up like 50 bucks from the original menu, took off the lobster and crab, still charged 100. Left to "redo" the menu. Came back with their original menu, MINUS KING CRAB, then started charging 139. And they JUST recently, like a few days ago re-added King Crab again. SO they did all that, just to raise their original price.
Loving Erin’s theater make up! Killed it 👏🏼

All the food looked yummy. Well prepared and well executed. It looks alot less extravagant than last year but it looked good. Like you said Lisa, this would be a personal buffet for us. Great review.

Probably worth the price to try things I would never order off a regular menu. The sushi, half lobster and soft shell crabs are worth a try. I'm hungry now.
The Sunday seafood buffet at the Breakers in Palm Beach would be worth your while to visit.

Thanks for the video! Too much money, tho, just to enjoy the 1st few minutes of eating until you feel full and can't really enjoy other items. You go around and try the stuff you wouldn't normally try, or something that looks interesting, skipping the fillers like bread, soup, or even salad. Then you go back for more of what was good, then you're too full for dessert! That's our experience, anyways.
