Cafe Sierra Universal City Reviews
Came in and the host mis spelled my name no matter how many
Came in and the host mis spelled my name no matter how many times I corrected her. Food is mediocre at best. When it came time for the bill, I wanted it split into two checks and they ended up charging the same credit card and not acknowledging their
The food is amazing.
Not one bad dish. Pavel knows how to cook everything. We will be coming back soon.
The food is good but somewhat small variety of food options
The food is good but somewhat small variety of food options to choose from! With the prices being more expensive than a buffet in las Vegas I'd was hoping to see more food options! I'd skip the king crab legs and go straight for the snow cr
Service was very good.
Selection and quality was also on point. However, the lobsters was frozen, thus lost the natural sweetness, of fresh. But it was plentiful. The king crab was not good. They were smaller than snow crab legs. The lamb chops and prime rib were a li
Traveled from SJ CA in order to try out the food.
Loved the staff loved the cooks, and servers. Very attentive to details. Every time my drink was low they appeared to refill. It's very romantic but I can definitely see groups of friends being here in order to celebrate. The music was live and
I absolutely love this place.
So we went two weeks ago and the price was $109 for Sunday brunch which includes unlimited mimosas, all you can eat seafood and an abundance amount of delicious items, desert bar and great service. We went again this weekend and took my granddaughter
Great service, excellent food! Chef Robert's signature
Great service, excellent food! Chef Robert's signature butter for the king crab legs and lobsters were so delicious and flavorful!!
The sauces prepared by Pavel Roberts are incredible.
I highly recommend trying his sauces that he prepares for the lobsters and crabs.

If you value crab and lobster in quantity and don't want to drive to Vegas, this is the place. The rest is so so. The additional facility fee was a shock and blindsided us. And it's not for the service staff. My guess it's due to the L

Cafe Sierra was a great place to celebrate a birthday.
So many options for everyone to enjoy. I liked the different options I was able to try food I wouldn't normally have. Pavel at the lobster and crab leg station was my favorite he always had a smile every time I passed him. Great customer service
GREAT BUFFET, BLINDSIDED BY THE PRICE

Service was excellent.
Our waiter Javier was great. The food was mediocre at best. Prime rib lack flavor and was not tender. Short ribs had terrific flavor but again lacked tenderness. Best part of the buffet were the omelets, waffles and crab legs. The administrati

I was staying with my daughter for two nights at L.A before leaving to Osaka for my meeting , had a exceptional Sunday brunch at the Cafe Sierra located inside the Hilton Hotel Universal city , had a reservation for 7 , place not too busy
You will not be disappointed!
Great Food! Amazing service! You would think, buffet ok, but not quality. This couldn't be further from the truth. The food quality is A+ every single time. I was planning on going to Vegas, just to eat at Bucchanal but, honestly, I saved my

We came for the Sunday brunch and a good tip is to get there early. The food is nice and fresh. The crab, lobster & oysters were delicious The Korean kimchi short ribs were off the hook & so we’re the beef ribs!! The prime rib looked delici

Was definitely disappointed, expecting the food quality
Was definitely disappointed, expecting the food quality would match the price point and it did not. The honey walnut shrimp was dry, the crab meat was mushy, the sushi wasn't the freshest. They didn't have the crepe station either so that was another
This place used to be affordable.
Now its just overpriced. Food is medicore and it looks like a cafeteria.Thats why the place is almost empty everytime. Will not go back with thise prices might as well go to Ruths Chris or Mastros and get some quality.

I stayed at the Hilton, Universal City, with family members for 3 nights. We dined at this cafe the first night, and it was really good ( expensive!). The server, Violetta, was quite attentive and pleasant. No complaints, the food was good and we

The food here was good but certainly not $150 per person good. The lobster (one of the main reasons why we went) was extremely tough was well. The ambience was average, with the exception of the live guitarist, and left some to be desired. My biggest

Recently discovered this place and took the fiance here for brunch for Father's Day. We made reservations on Open Table although not sure if we even needed to. There aren't any buffets like this in the valley (that I know of) so we were glad to be
So looking forward to coming and enjoying another awsome dinner.
This place is amazing with all of the different variety of food and deserts. I was especially impressed with the service that my daughter and I received from our server Marilela. She was so professional and courteous, and made us feel very comfortabl

It was awesome!
The food was excellent! It’s really worth the price. There was live music too. Our server, Jovita, and hostess, Deedee, went above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Deedee was so welcoming and cheerful. Jovita was the sweetest, not just t

The food was delicious! The snow crab, king crab, whole lobster, steak au poivre (even though I’m not usually a fan of filet mignon, there’s was absolute perfection), lobster thermidor… everything! The service was friendly and attentive - from
Health Hazard!
HEALTH HAZARD! Do not eat here! Food is literally dangerous! We all ended up with food poisoning and when I informed management..they offered me another visit at a discount! NO THANK YOU! DO NOT EAT HERE!! EVER!
Bad experience
Staff was rude and gave us a hard time on free breakfast and had a string or something in my cheese Danish and almost swallowed it showed it to guy at the check in desk and brushed me off
Awesome King Crab Legs and Sushi!
October 21, 2023 Satuday! Excellent Waitress! The King Crab is the best dish and very tasty and melts in your mouth. The Sushi is very high quality...the Toro and Ahi Tuna...is so delicious. As of today, the price is $139 per person, well that wa
Better than any Vegas Buffet!
We ate here for the Seafood Buffet on Saturday night. Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 tweens) was very excited to try it out. We are in Vegas several times each year and were eager to compare this buffet to others. The hostess, Anne, was so friend
$139/pp for Saturday night buffet???
We just spent this past Saturday evening (9/16/23) at the Hilton Universal. After a long day at Universal Studios, we decided to look into the Saturday evening buffet at Cafe Sierra. At first, there was a bit of sticker shock... $139/pp. I ran downst
Poor service, average food
Ate here for our last day at the Hilton Universal City. Easily the worst service and food of our week long stay in LA. The ceiling above the restaurant is glass and therefore it has pockets of intense sunlight in the morning. We asked to sit out of t
Connect with users posting reservations for Cafe Sierra Universal City
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Cafe Sierra Universal City. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cafe Sierra Universal City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cafe Sierra Universal City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Cafe Sierra Universal City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cafe Sierra Universal City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
