🤢 2/5 - We had high expectations for Epicurean, being part of a 6

We had high expectations for Epicurean, being part of a 6 star hotel. We'd heard people rave about when it first opened so I was expecting the Willy Wonka of buffets. But we were so disappointed with the quality and selection of food and the noise and slow lines at the buffet didn't help. Neither of us would rush back. We spoke to some friends after we went and they had the same disappointment when they went a few weeks prior. The carvery was very disappointing. One roast meat to select from (lamb which was quite fatty) or dry skirt steak, and there were no roast vegetables at all. Not a roast potato, pumpkin, carrot, pea or cauliflower bake in sight. Potato selections ran to things like wedges or tandoori potatoes. The Asian cuisine (usually a favourite) was a total let down and shopping mall food hall quality. The Thai green curry looked like someone had attacked it with green food colouring, it was so bright and fake looking and didn't taste any more exciting than it looked. No steamed rice so you had to eat it with chinese fried rice or Indian rice. Stir fry beef with soya sauce but the beef was bizarrely cut into big thick square chunks like a stew rather than thinly sliced. The sweet and sour fish was very nice. We did love the goldband snapper - until I got a sizeable bone and that put us off eating any more fish. The meatballs in tomato sauce were like compressed sausage meat and unexciting and there was no pasta served with this clearly Italian dish which was swimming in tomato sauce. A bit of pasta to accompany and soak up that sauce would have been good. The curry selections were also underwhelming. Staple butter chicken was was ok. The rest were vegetarian. For an international buffet I'd expect to see some more variety eg Indonesian or Vietnamese curries or at least some lamb or beef curry. There is no doubt it is in a beautiful location. The Crown Towers hotel is stunning and the decor in the restaurant is lovely. Very comfortable seats (although equally very heavy so they are difficult to pull in). And it was VERY noisy, so we felt like we were in a rowdy pub rather than an elegant buffet. It's also a long walk from any parking through the hotel, which is not great for people with knee or leg injuries or other mobility issues. Whoever is in charge of the menu and the food quality and selection clearly needs exposure to a proper international buff at a hotel of this level. You get a better selection at The Atrium which was surprising, and I honestly felt we have had better quality and selections at many Balinese restaurants. And as this is supposed to be a key component of their 6 star restaurant I think they to lift their game considerably. The staff however were completely lovely, they did a great job, from the very warm welcome, serving at the carvery and payment and equally warm farewell, we could not fault the service. This was well done.
