| - It was a slow Sunday evening, so I made the walk down from the Mirage, seeking to finally try The Sinatra Smash, a cocktail that originated at Sinatra, but is now offered at a few of the bars in Wynn/Encore. I went into Sinatra and took a seat at the bar. The bartender Peter is a true master. The bar was immaculate, but so was his technique. He masterfully measured and perfectly mixed nearly a hundred drinks in front of me, never dropping even a grain of salt from a rim. His workspace and technique were immaculate.
I enjoyed 3 Smashes, a delicious concoction where the main players are Gentleman Jack and muddled black berries. I can see why this cocktali has won mention from the James Beard Foundation, and numerous references in Food & Wine Magazine.
To start off the meal I had the Prosciutto & Pear appetizer, which was flawless and delicious, nothing new here, but fantastically delicious. For dinner I had the Pennette, a sausage Ragu with a smart smack of fresh and vibrant herbs added for kick. THIS MIGHT BE THE PASTA I HAVE EVER TASTED.
I found the service here to be remarkable. This is a great choice for a casual dinner or a serious romantic affair. Most definitely stop at the bar for a Sinatra Smash before dinner.
My highest reccomendation.
At the Wynn, buisness casual at a minimum to dressy. Excellent, friendly wait staff, not stuffy, knowledgeable, and appreciative of the diner.
