| - We had a Groupon to Alize, and wanted to check out what was recommended to us by a couple tourists at the Wynn.
We arrived for an early dinner, around 6PM, as we had a show in the Palms that night at 8. It was slow at Alize, so we were really able to relax and enjoy the views.
The presentation here is superb. The wait staff is knowledgeable, the wine list is excellent (though very expensive, with very few mid-level options), and the appetizers were delicious - we tried the veal cheek.
The issue here was the main courses. They simply weren't very good. We both ordered our steaks (one rib-eye and one filet mignon) medium rare, and one came out rare (rib-eye) and one came out beyond well-done. Even at rare, the meat was tough somehow.
The sides were very good, but small. The potatoes with the filet were fried bits of dough - no taste outside of oils and minimal starch.
Needless to say, we didn't stick around for dessert after being underwhelmed with the main courses.
If you're looking for a view, check it out for a drink - I just don't recommend staying for the food. So many options in Las Vegas that dominate this performance.
