Review of The Buffet at ARIA

Lots of variety. Came in a little before noon and Chef Reinaldo Cruz came out and took all the time we needed to show us what was safe, what was risky due to cross contamination, and what was definitely not safe due to rues and binders. He also told us something new... Not only is the sushi rice sometimes not safe due to flour based vinegars but the seaweed paper (nori) can be unsafe as well as some manufacturers use wheat flour to coat the nori so they don't stick! Chef Cruz, thank you for the great info and your time. Gluten free dessert choices were excellent. For celiacs to be safe, you MUST speak to one of the chefs.
