  • It upsets me to have to post this scathing review, but people need to know that the staff as well as the manager at this fine establishment are racist, and they employ discriminatory practices in order to keep minorities out...allow me to expound...my friends and I, (all black)decided to go to Wolfgang Puck in Summerlin after enjoying dinner elsewhere in the plaza. After being seated, we were quickly told by Lauren that no outside food was allowed. I let her know that we would not be eating the food (I and another member of our party had bagged, to-go orders with us from the restaurant we had previously dined at). Lauren said that it did not matter that we were not eating it because any outside food was against Wolfgang Puck's policies. She said, "so, I could throw it away" we, of course, decided to leave rather than allow her to throw our food away. We sat by an outside fire nearby the restaurant, and we continued our evening. To my dismay about 10 minutes later a white man and his friend entered the restaurant with bags of takeout...my friends and I watched in disbelief as the man took a seat by the bar, and began ordering drinks! At no time did anyone approach this man and his friend to let them know that outside food was not allowed. I decided to go speak with the restaurant manager about the unequal treatment my friends and I had received. Chelsea (the manager) and Lauren (the hostess) proceeded to pretend (unconvincingly) that they had not seen the man and his companion enter with bags of takeout. They then went on to lie and say that the man's food had been thrown away; the food was still sitting on the bar! When we let the two women know that the food was still on the bar, Chelsea and Lauren suddenly remembered that the restaurant offers patrons the option of placing outside food on the counter. This realization came as news to my friends and me because placing our food on a counter was not an option that was offered to us. Our options were to throw our food away or to leave. It is a shame that in 2016 there are establishments that continue to employ discriminatory policies in an effort to keep the patrons that they desire in and the patrons that they find less than desirable out! I should not have to say this, but my friends and I are all young, black professionals. We have more degrees among us than there were people in our group. I will never step foot inside of another Wolfgang Puck restaurant. Racism is alive and well in 2016! SHAME ON YOU WOLFGANG PUCK!
