| - When we made brunch reservations at Country Club, I had no idea what it would be like. I had walked through the restaurant a couple of years ago (or whatever was in the space then) and knew it had a striking view of the golf course. Therefore, being a big fan of atmosphere, I knew brunch there would be great. I was right.
It was a Sunday New Orleans-style brunch buffet. We were seated immediately due to our reservation, which felt really good as we walked by the loooooooong lines for the regular Wynn Buffet and casual dining restaurant.
ATMOSPHERE: I love the atmosphere - it really does feel like the country club brunch somewhere else. The view from the patio/windows is of the waterfall and greenery of the Wynn golf course - very nice. The Sunday brunch was accompanied by fantastic live music, which added to the fun, bright morning feel.
FOOD: The food was delicious. During the brunch, you can order off of the regular menu and/or eat from the buffet. The New Orleans buffet (not sure if this is a regular Sunday occurrence or a special event) was heavy on oysters, shrimp, etc., but if that isn't your thing, there is plenty else to dine on. The desserts are extensive - so be sure to save room. The shrimp and grits is good, but very heavy, of course.
DRINKS: Bottomless mimosas is what our table went with - yum. But, not worth the $35 price tag if you aren't going to be there for a while.
SERVICE: Our server was excellent - treated us well for our birthdays, explained the entire brunch process to us, and had a generally upbeat attitude for a Sunday morning. And, of course, other servers were more than happy to take a group photo from the patio with the waterfall in the background.
TIPS: Make a reservation. Don't purchase the bottomless mimosa unless you and your dining buddies are going to be there a long time. Consider sitting at the bar with friends for bottomless mimosas if there's a football game on TV you are wanting to watch. If the weather is cool, ask to sit on the patio - don't try it if it's really hot. If you are having a birthday, free gelato is the treat (yum!). Be sure to take a photo of your group from the patio with the waterfall in the background.
