The Marketplace by Fabio Viviani

Disc Patt Edited a month ago

I traveled a long way to eat here, only to be disappointed. The buffet selection was very limited, and the food was unappetizing. Service was slow, with long lines and staff having to serve the food for you. Most importantly, the snow crab wasn't actually part of the buffet; it cost an extra $20 for a single serving, and the crab itself wasn't fresh or tasty—the meat fell apart when shelled. The chairs were dirty and wet. It was a waste of time and money, a frustrating experience, and very expensive. If you don't want to feel like you're losing everything all at once, change your surroundings.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 3/5 (In Morongo parking structure) Family friendly: 4/5 Stroller friendly: 4/5 ADA accessible: 3/5 The Marketplace by Fabio Viviani all you can eat concept is CLUTCH! Like an elevated food hall with a wide variety of cuisine is amazing. To me, this is on par or even better than Last Vegas buffets on the strip. Only downside for me was some of the meats ( mainly BBQ spot and Argentine place) we're not as flavorful as I'd expected, as well as the chicken from the BBQ spot was dry. My favorite dish of the night hashad to have been the miso coconut flavored white fish and rice. ( Think I went back for 3rds, 🤣). Second favorite, came down to the waffles from the BBQ spot ( usually chicken and waffles, but to me chicken was overdone and dry). Service and bussing quick and friendly. Of course the busiest times are brunch, lunch and dinner, so if you're trying to eat in peace I'd avoid these times lol. Prices are $46.99/ $23.99(kids) weekdays / $48.99 /$25.99(kids) weekends. Def make a trip out here to Morongo.

We’ve been coming to this buffet since it first opened and over the last year it’s been a hit or miss depending on the chef for the evening. Sometimes the oysters are prepared perfectly, but other times they could use more care - especially with removing sand and shell fragments. The food overall can occasionally be on the bland side. The crab leg upgrade hasn’t been worth it, as they’re often dried out and not very meaty. That said, I really enjoy the variety of options the buffet has to offer and the ambiance is pleasantly welcoming. These photos and videos are from a while back, but not much has changed since then. I do wish they’d update the menu more often - whether by switching up the flavors or introducing new dishes altogether. I would also like to see Coca-Cola fountain drinks. Overall, I still like this buffet and plan to keep coming back for brunch and dinners, but a few improvements could really elevate the experience.

This place is good. All the foods are hand crafted. The meat stations provide a very good selection of meats. Prime Rib, roasted chicken, smoked brisket, and ribs. They also offer chicken and waffles. They have a nice sections for pastas and pizza. They offer raw oysters soups, and French fries. The Asian sections is is good too. Tacos made to order as well. The awesome thing about this place is that the staff makes you the plate however you want it. It’s not like a buffets where people just grab with dirty hands. And trust me guest can be very disgusting and have poor etiquette. They will give you as much as you desire. Also servings are small so you won’t get overwhelmed with one item. Each table has its own roll of paper towels and individual packs of sauces are provided at your disposal. They have sriracha, soy sauce, ketchup, and A1 sauce.

We came across this place by chance because we visited the Morongo, which is where this buffet was located. We created a rewards and received comp towards The Marketplace which we assumed was a food court area. To reserve, we used the kiosk inside and then made a reservation for the next day and paid (you can choose to pay gratuity and we did so in advance and if you include it, you cant use comp towards it so you will charge your own form of payment card). When we found out it was a buffet, we were excited. (Mind you we never researched this place but went because we played and earned a comp towards it to discount the price). This place blew our mind away because there were different restaurants inside this buffet, and they would make the food and prep it FRESH for you right there. They even have a drink station and a bar you pay for your own alcoholic drinks within reach. We couldn't try everything but the portions were just right! If you're not sure what to order, they even have examples of the food displayed for you. Dessert station they only allow you to pick 5 at a time, which is reasonable so less food waste. When you're done, go back and get more dessert. Too bad we are 5-6
