| - My wife and I were there for the opening night of this new Restaurant. Didn't think we'd be able to get a table but when we walked up they were very nice to accommodate us even though it looked fairly full.
While waiting, we were able to take a look at the decor, people, etc... I personally really liked the clean and hip look of the place and where the tables were in relation to the bar and other parts of the restaurant. The main dining area was slightly elevated from the lounge area, thus creating a separation but was close that it didn't feel like I was disconnected to the bar area where there were a lot of people to watch. It definitely isn't the place if you want a quiet-dinner-for-two, but for my wife and I, it was great.
Once we got seated, we decided to choose multiple small plates so that we can try different things. We had a sushi roll, a noodle dish with duck, crab cake/ball, and some items from the dim sum menu. The food was generally a 3.5 out of 5 for us because it didn't blow us away but we couldn't really say anything too bad about it. It was just what you'd expect at an Asian fusion menu and not much more...
There was one thing that we really didn't like -
1) Maybe because it was the opening night but they had way too many people working on the floor! Usually having enough staff to make sure that you are properly and timely taken care of is key to a good experience. In the case of that night, it was uncomfortably filled with workers where they were everywhere and standing around between tables, along the walls making it very distracting to have so much crowd stand around and walk between the tables. I sure hope that gets adjusted quickly. With that said, our server, Ryan, was excellent - tried to give our space but was very attentive and informative.
All in all we would likely return especially if staying at Wynn/Encore.
