First visit to Spoons, my son wanted to go for his birthday. There were 5 of us all paying 19.99 each. First impression was I thought we'd made a massive mistake, the girl on the front desk was rude and ignorant. I've never experienced anything like it before. Fortunately upstairs we were received in a more friendly manner. On the whole we stuck with the Chinese food which was plentiful. There are many other options but it wasn't busy and the food looked like it had been sitting around some time. Some food was cold I think you need to stir stuff to get to the warmth. The place was kept very clean and staff cleared use plates quickly. I was disappointed that soft drinks are no longer included and the refillable drinks are unbranded so I stuck with water which they'd only serve me in a small tupperware cup! Bit naff for a special occasion meal. Other soft drinks were limited regarding low sugar options. The non drivers drank beer. My husband has told everyone he's spoken to today about the woman on the front desk, so bad PR for them. It's also really noisy even when not busy, big industrial air conditioning droning, I mention this as I know some people are affected by this. Good Chinese buffet with an identity crisis and a front of house staff issue. Bit expensive unless you like to overeat. Desserts limited, felt like they'd all be purchased in Costco. Parking free for 3 hours in cascades.
