| - Impressed by the atmosphere, but not by the service.
Jardin's menu and beautiful patio initially attracted us to dine here, so we decided to try it for dinner one evening during our most recent trip. We were seated quickly without any reservations, but after being guided to a table on the patio, the hostess left and the service issues began.
From the beginning of service until we paid the bill, we were disappointed. Our server largely ignored us, not being able to offer much helpful information about the menu or the wine list, making us feel like more of an imposition than an invited guest. We had to flag her down several times throughout the meal to order appetizers, entrees & wine, and even to request our check (which took more than 15 minutes). Other service members were not helpful or seemingly willing to help), so eventually we just gave up hope that service would recover and tried to enjoy our meal.
Thankfully, the food was delicious. There were not many seafood entrees, but of those offered, the bouillabaisse was the best, filled with tender squid and buttery scallops, a surprisingly light and delicate dish that really challenged the idea of what a bouillabaisse should be. The hamburger was also well-liked, definitely filling by itself or with a generous side of fries (it does not come with fries, so if you want them, be sure to order them as a side).
Overall, if you are in a hurry, Jardin is not your best bet...but if you have time to kill and really want to enjoy the beauty of the Encore/Wynn gardens, then Jardin may be your #1 pick!
Cheers!
