| - Came out to Vegas with a couple buddies on a spur of the moment road trip from California. As customary tradition, we like to do one fine dining per trip to Vegas. Initially we had a couple restaurants in mind, but upon booking our hotel at the Wynn, we got convinced by the front desk to try SW.
Location: SW is located inside of Wynn by the Lake of Dreams which is on one of the lower floors directly across from Lakeside Seafood.
Food: One of the main reasons why i choose this place was the fact that they served Foie Gras (which has been banned from California) and im a steak lover. I figured if Steve Wynn was willing to put his reputation/name on the line for a restaurant than it must be good.
Complimentary bread- One would think complimentary bread would be complimentary bread, but SW took it up a notch and not only offered a variety of bread but they also offered a bacon cheese bread which was delicious.
Seared Steak Tartare w/ worcestershire, Dijon aioli, crumbled egg, chives, and grilled bread- To my disappointment the steak tartare was very bland and had no worcestershire or dijon aioli flavor to it.
Sauteed Hudson Valley Foie Gras- Out of all the items i ordered, this was my favorite. The foie gras was cooked perfectly and the sauces complimented the dish very well. Also to me and my buddy's suprise they did not skimp out in regards to portion size. I was very impressed with this dish and it almost made me want to order another one lol.
Bone-In Ribeye- Due to the fact that SW is known as a steakhouse which has been endorsed by Steve Wynn, i expected the steak to be really good. I choose the Rib eye due to the fact that it would have the most flavor because of its marbling. Upon order i had requested my rib eye to be medium rare and told him that i would not mind if it was more on the raw side since most steak places tend to overcook. In my opinion its always best to be undercooked than overcooked since it can be corrected. Unfortunately for me, my steak came out overcooked and more on the well done side. The steak lacked a little bit of flavor and was not tender as i expected it (prob because it was overcooked). When the waiter checked up on our table and asked if everything was okay, i noted that my steak was way overcooked. He simply replied with im sorry ill let the cook know and make sure it wont happen next time and did not offer to solve the issue nor have my steak redone (Only had two bites..initial bite and the second bite from the middle just to verify it being overcooked).
Overall i was pretty disappointed with this place. The only thing that was really good was the foie gras and the bacon cheese bread. For a place that is considered fine dining, one would think they would fix the problem and make sure its customer's were satisfied with their meal esp in a city where there are many competitors in the fine dining department. As far as coming back, sandly i am still not sure if i would come back to this place.
