| - Society Cafe presumably fills the casual diner role in Encore, but the restaurant has a much darker and lounge-like feel than, for example, the much more standard Terrance Point Cafe at Wynn. What may be discomforting to some does, though, broaden the usefulness of the space to be a more social and relaxing environment rather than simple utilitarian eatery. The food is pretty good and does a decent job of offering, as promised by the website, "a twist on the comfort food that everyone loves."
For lunch, I started with the Tomato Bisque, which was artistically presented, and I felt bad digging into it. The pretzel bread with mustard spread was an appreciated and refreshing change from the usual bread and butter. I got the Filet Sliders ($22) on the recommendation of the server. They were more filling than I anticipated and tasted alright--definitely better than ordinary sliders in using the filet instead of ground beef. I would probably, however, look for a more adventurous offering on a second visit. The sliders also come with some decent thick-cut fries.
