Mansion de las Americas — Restaurant in East Haven

Being a local, it was exciting to finally see another buffet open. The location was a little interesting right off the bat, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. First, walking in, the atmosphere seemed pretty "cheap." It didn't really have any theme, just a bunch of tables and chairs and some random decor. When at the check-in, the lady told me that this buffet worked by seating yourself (not the most organized service), grabbing your food, weighing it by a whopping $10 per pound, getting your beverage (paid separately) and disposable utensils, then paying. I was astounded by this policy, especially for claiming to be a "buffet." Now, talking about the food, it has terrible quality. Trust me, for the price, you would expect something very scrumptious, but on the contrary, the food was of the worst quality and very stingy. I barely ate anything except for two things, as it was almost all inedible. On top of that, there is no variety; I should've trusted my intuition. Save yourself time, money, and your morale. At that price, you can do so...

Price per pound , you get a plate weigh your food and pay, didn’t see anything Italian there , watched a few people come in get explained how they charge for buffet and they walk out.

I was excited to meet the tall man in the picture but he wasn’t out so didn’t even meet him. They don’t seem to understand English to well and motion with their hands when you ask questions . I wish them good luck . It was...

This was my first and last time coming here.. I walk in and wasn’t greeted or told if someone was going to help me. Received no information on how to place a to go order, once I started ordering in Spanish the young guy at the counter started to make fun of my Spanish and kept saying “English? English? You gringa?” And just kept trying to make jokes which were very un tasteful. Once I actually got my food I wasn’t told if it was ready and when I tried to grab a drink the young guy kept making fun of my Spanish. The food was very decent considering the cheap price but the experience completely ruined it for me. Very disappointed considering this place was positively recommended to me. (Also Spanish is my first language so I was slightly offended and...
