| - I do love the buffets, but sometimes even the best buffet can't equal up to a nice dinner at a swank restaurant....so my friends decided to mix things up and go all out before we went to see the Cirque de Soleil Beatles LOVE show. As it was old people dinner time (5:30 PM), there was nobody here, so we figured we had time to give this place a try.
The design and atmosphere of the place is very soothing and unique. You're seated right next to the jungle by the Wynn entrance, which gives the illusion that you're enjoying a nice dinner outside even though you are actually in a nice, comfortable air conditioned hotel.
Food here was FANTASTIC. Their lobster bisque ($11) was perhaps the best lobster bisque I've ever had. It came encased with a bread top akin to a chicken pot pie, and had just right levels of flavor and consistency that every gulp was seafood heaven. The crabcakes were quite good too. They were actually little balls of crab served up with a tasty serving sauce. I haven't eaten crab cakes served in that form before, but it certainly delivered. Of course, these two were just appetizers for the main course...an 8oz fillet mignon with 3 cajun spiced jumbo shrimp ($52). I hadn't had a real steak in a long time, so every bite into this steak was heaven. The meat was so flavorful and tender that it dissolved in my mouth the way only a superb steak can.
So after all this, why an average of 3 stars? The service here was sadly HORRIBLE. Even though there were very few people here, it was hard to catch the attention of our disappearing waiter. Now I don't know if their lack of attention to our needs was just out of random neglect or because we were the only diners that weren't middle aged rich retirees, but when you're in a hurry, its annoying to see that the table of 60 year old high rollers next to you are already getting their appetizers when you're still waiting for your menus. Also, they asked us if we wanted bottled water and our response was is that we just wanted tap water. Of course they end up pouring us TWO bottles of water which we found out later on the receipt were $8.50 each (which brings up another annoying point....no bottle of water should ever be $8.50 unless it gives me the gift of flight). The final insult to injury is that as we rushed out of there to make the show..we didn't notice that they had accidentally charged us for the 2 beers for the table NEXT to us (yes, the same 60 year old high rollers who were snacking on their lobster tails while I was unhappily chewing on my bread).
With service and mess-ups like this, I'd normally rank a little lower...but the quality of the food was so good and I'm willing to believe that it may be possible that we just got shafted with the restaurants' one crappy waiter....so I'd be willing to come back and give it another chance....maybe this time with the high roller parents.
