| - This was a really nice surprise especially for a casino cafe. I was playing blackjack and the pit boss asked if I would be interested in a free buffet for lunch. That particular day I just wasn't feeling like having a buffet, some days I do but that day I just wasn't even though I have tried the Wynn Buffet before and liked it. I asked if I could have a comp to their cafe instead, which they happily gave me and I'm so glad I did!
Unlike other casino cafe comps which have a set amount you can request, they have a system and allows you to check in at the front with just your ID. At the table, you're comped any beverage, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. This is really nice because the food is similar to an upscale cafe or restaurant in Santa Monica or West Hollywood. The decor is really well designed, the first thing you notice is the red, plush sofa looking booths along the walls with a nice view out onto the casino area. The menu has a surprising amount of selections with sandwiches, soups, salads, and pasta choices. I ordered bottle water and iced tea (the waitress said that I could order both with my comp so I said sure!), and they gave me a huge 2 liter bottle of Fiji water which I took home with me.
For my starter the salads looked great (the caprese and jumbo crab salads both sounded good) but in the end I ordered a bowl of their fresh butternut squash soup. Also, they brought out these soft pretzel breadsticks which were warm and addictive and paired with this whole grain mustard dip.
For my entree I ordered the lobster salad club roll, which included bacon chunks, pancetta, spiced mayonnaise, and avocado along with chunks of lobster meat on a Challah hot dog bun. It was really delicious and I love lobster rolls. The bacon chunks gave it just the right of salt and weren't flat pieces of crispy bits, they were chunky, meaty, dig your teeth into chunks that provided a contrast in texture.
For Dessert, they had a whole different dessert menu which they change constantly I think. Their most popular seemed to be the ice cream sampler and banana split. It would be worth coming here for dessert alone to be honest. I ordered the cheesecake brulee, which was so good! It was a round NY style cheesecake with a really deep, crumbly graham cracker crust and that burnt flame melted sugar layer on top that gave it its brulee name. Really great mash-up of two favorites that made me wonder why I hadn't seen that before.
The total would have come out to $62 had it not been comped, so I'm really glad I got that instead of the buffet which I doubt I would not have enjoyed as much. Also for vegetarians they apparently have this vegetarian meal that's supposed to be incredible. Service was flawless and I went away happy.
