Had dinner here not too long ago... Friday night on a busy Vegas weekend because Manny Pacquiao would beat Miguel Cotto the next night. Reservations at other restaurants/steakhouses were fully booked because of this... So we thought we'd try Switch @ Encore. Not too long of a walk from our room at the Wynn. Totally worth it.
Complimentary dinner rolls and cheese bread were good. Chilled Fiji water at the ready was a nice touch. Service was very very good... We were celebrating 2 birthdays at our table so they accommodated us very well.
For appetizers. We had kobe beef carpaccio which my friends MADE me try... Not bad. Thought I'd hate it but it wasn't bad at all. I know... I'm not worthy. Also had lobster bisque... Yum.
I ordered the New York strip (9 oz.). It was excellent.. I'm no steak expert but it tasted great. I really enjoyed it... Too bad I couldnt finish it all up. Shoulda brought a bigger appetite with me. Other orders on our table were a couple of rib eyes (massive) and pepper encrusted new york strip (a special that night). We ordered 3 sides for our steaks. Creamed spinach, of course. Whipped potatoes, what else? And sauteed mushrooms. They were all real good.
The 2 desserts we shared (complete with birthday candles) were the creme brulee and and a chocolate lava cake. The creme brulee was so good. The lava cake was also good.
Overall, the experience I had at Switch was a really good one. I wish it wasnt tucked away in the back of the casino but Encore isnt totally done so we'll see what happens. The changing of the walls and ceiling every 30 mins or so was something else. Pretty cool.
