Bidrage med feedbackGreat buffet! We believe that this restaurant is only open to VIP tour guests or for special events but definitely worth the ticket price! Lots of choices and everything was delicious. Chefs were on site to explain what dishes were or take special requests. The patio provided scenic views of Hollywood.
I've been here 3 times in the past two decades. Excellent foods and services. It's included into the Hollywood Universal Studios VIP Experience package and this is where they always take you during mid tour for the 1-hour lunch break. All tour guides stop here for lunch too. Absolutely loved everything about it. Every guest had the badge, so perhaps they only open to VIP Experience folks. Greeters are very inviting and friendly. Excellent customer service, entertaining staff members, delicious foods, beautiful decorations, indoor and outdoor dining available, plus the ambience was just amazing. Entertainers, such as Lucy from I Love Lucy, Dracula, and others will come walk around, ask you how you are doing, where you are from, and then spark other conversations with you while you are enjoying your foods. Wonderful experience with great times. Plenty of foods and drinks to choose from. Prosciutto wrapped around cantelope was yummy. Salmon, poke fish meat, and shrimps were all very fresh and tasty. Salads are lightly tossed. Choose your cheese and appetizers. Entrees and meats are different each time. They even had mini crepes here. Chocolate chip cookies are very soft and warm, fresh baked. Fresh fruits. Desserts are the best: cakes, tarts, pudding, mousse desserts, etc. Lots of potatoes and pizza slices. They have mainly small bites here, but that is plenty of delicious selections to enjoy and much better than foods sold outside or all around the amusement park. Comfortable seats and spacious. Restrooms are in-house or you can walk outside to use the public restrooms at a walking distance. What a perfect place inside the center of the Paris strip that stands out. Each time we come here, it's a very different and unique experience. Perfect lighting. Tables are romantic with the small vase of flowers. Very clean and organized. Highly recommended. Very cute and cozy place.
Let 's start off with my disdain for buffets in general. The mediocre quality, the it 's been sitting under a heat lamp for 2 hours and the we 've loaded it with fat and salt so it tastes good options. I will pass! I walked in here with a preconceived notion on what I was getting into. I get to the buffet line and thought to myself this isn 't the usual Mac Cheese, Fried Chicken kinda place. The portions of food in the line were much smaller leading to a higher turnover and fresher food overall. At the end of the line there was a chef preparing Shrimp Scampi. I made my first plate headed over to the table not fully sold yet. The scampi was spot on, I also loaded up on what was labeled as Mexican Shrimp Salad. I had a few other sides that were surprisingly good as well. But I kept going back to the shrimp entrees. Chatting with the chef every time who talked about how he loved his job and couldn 't be happier. It showed, after my third plate of the shrimp entrees I was contemplating one more plate. Just then the chef walked up and set down a steaming hot fresh plate of Scampi! The only thing stopping this place from getting all 5 stars was the shortage of dining room staff and the undersized tables. I was running out of room at the table with plates piling high very quickly.
We went for breakfast and asked for iced latter and he brought us a glasses with coffee and ice. Did not have a clue what is an iced latte. Once we spoke with the old man who seems to be the only person serving table taking payment sitting people (slowly) he told us they didn’t have and took the menu from us without giving us a chance to order. Very rude and unpleasant person we left very disappointed after reading good things about.
As previously mentioned this is the Exclusive VIP gourmet meal that is part of the VIP experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. When you eat is dependent on when your tour is and when your guide made the reservations. But don 't worry because you also have access to light snacks and refreshments and trust me you could probably fill up on that but don 't because the food at the Moulin Rouge is actually really delicious. My tips are to watch the time since you only have an hour to eat and to leave room for dessert.
