| - I wanted a casual dining experience while at Encore or Wynn and was debating between Jardin and Tableau. But once I saw photos of the Maine Lobster Benedict, I knew I had to go to Jardin.
It's located in the beginning of the Encore Esplanade, right across from Hermes. It's a beautiful restaurant with tons of colorful flowers. If you sit outside, you overlook the pool area.
I don't like ending conversations on a negative note so I'm not doing that with this review. The food was marvelous and I'll get into that soon. But the service was very lacking which was surprising to me for a luxury resort hotel. I had had wonderful service so far during my stay that I was disheartened to experience less than great service from Jardin. I was told afterward from my husband that he had made a special request TWICE (from the hostess who sat us down and to the maitre'd himself) for our anniversary. Unfortunately, that request was never fulfilled and even when he had approached them afterward, they did not make any offer of amends.
We had three different servers. One had been moved indoors and so we had a second server. Then it got too cold outside and once we were moved inside, we had our third server. Of the three, our second server, Megan, was the most attentive. We were not checked on often by any of the other two which was a sad shame.
But on a better note, our lunch was fabulous. I ordered the avocado toast as an appetizer and it seems pricey at $16 but it comes with three triangular toasts that are heaped on with fresh avocado, black garlic humus, pomegranate seeds, lettuce and grape tomatoes. It was delicious.
We both ordered the Maine Lobster Benedict and it was the best Benedict I've ever had. $24 but very much worth it in my opinion. Two English muffins with large pieces of lobster on each and an excellently poached egg on top of each. In the middle was a rectangular hash brown that was a great compliment to the dish. It was very crispy and buttery. I loved this dish and highly recommend it if you're able to have lobster and don't mind the higher price.
I also had the Orange Lavender Mule which was delicious! Loved it so much, Megan gave me the recipe from the bar. It was so refreshing and delightful. I also had an English breakfast with milk. They serve Forte teas on the Wynn property which is nice.
Overall, the food we had was marvelous. Maybe we just had sheer bad luck with regards to the service during this visit and hopefully it'll improve. If you want Maine Lobster for breakfast though, come here.
