| - Made last minute reservations at 8pm for a party of 7 on a Saturday night.
COMPLIMENTARY BREAD WITH PESTO
- PESTO IS DELICIOUS. Probably the best pesto I have had. Good blend of basil leaves, pine nuts, and olive oil
- fresh baked bread; either a dinner roll or a roll with a roasted tomato slice
- also comes with some breadsticks (the cracker kind)
LINGUINI WITH CLAMS ($28)
- Roasted Manila Clams, Garlic White Wine Sauce
- debated between this or the Rosotto Pescatora but GLAD I chose the Linguini
- the linguini was cooked just right; great texture
- the sauce was decent; which there was a stronger garlic taste
- good amount of clams (I would hope so for $28)
- overall was happy with my dish but wished the linguini absorbed more of the sauce
RISOTTO PESCATORA ($36)
- Shrimp, Scallops, Calamari, Mussels, Clams
- takes a bit longer to cook
- good blend of seafood
- a bit too moist for my liking
20 OZ. BONE-IN RIB EYE STEAK ($44)
- Tomato, Mozzarella Cheese, Shaved Parmesan Cheese
- very tender and juicy
- if you order this, don't eat too much bread (though I know that will be hard!) since this is a big piece of meat
- definitely NOT a pre-clubbing meal for a girl -- food baby
SERVICE: great! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu selections. Our waters were filled appropriately. They did not hesitate to refill our bread. We had some bread leftover and felt bad for ordering extra bread when we were about 50% full BEFORE receiving our entrees. We asked for a box to bring the bread back to our room. We thought they would package the leftover bread but instead they gave us a whole NEW batch of fresh, warm bread.
ENVIRONMENT: classy but then again it is in the Wynn and Vegas, where the ballers roll. (Side note: the table party of 2 mid-50s diners ordered a pizza and then proceeded to EACH order an entree. Either they're ballers or they eat a LOT). Slightly dim lighting to suffice for a romantic date or a nice dinner out with friends. The kitchen is semi-opened so it's nice to at least see the faces of the people making your food. Certain tables are also good for people watching.
Overall, the food was good but I don't think it's worth the price. The whole Vegas ambiance definitely raises the price of everything. If it was about $5 cheaper than it wouldn't be too bad considering the ambiance and food quality. I don't know if I would come back again, since there are so many options in Vegas. Though if you're staying at the Wynn and can't make a reservation at your preferred restaurants then I would recommend coming here.
