| - Had lunch here on a Friday afternoon ...
Ok.. so what's up with needing my first and last name before seating me? It's not like it was used in any way to speak to me during my visit here. Anyways...
SCENE:
Great vibe... really cool bar in the front area... cool bar in the back area
Low lighting, dark, modern, upscale cave like feel... kinda romantic without being gushy...I guess you might call it 'casual-intimate'.
Good place to hang out with friends or work friends ...but not a good place for a power lunch.
There's a patio area with nice looking couches, chairs, tables, live plants, and really nice (fancy) looking hammock chairs. They just begged to be sat in with a glass of wine and enjoy the day. However, it was a bit chilly and they didn't have outdoor heaters out there so we sat inside.
SERVICE:
For a Wynn establishment... I expected more / better. I'm not saying it was 'Bad'... it was just Mediocre which is NOT how you would think anything at Wynn would be.
We were sat immediately but the wine menu was not part of the menus provided. I mean... they give you an additional menu that is sorted by Gluten-Free or Dairy-Free or Meat-Free, etc.... but they don't give you a Wine menu? Hello... you're surrounded by wine and isn't this supposed to be like a really nice wine bar?
So... after waiting for 5-7 minutes to gain the attention of anyone... we asked for a wine menu. And it's a very nice wine menu.... not ridiculously priced and they have a good selection of different priced wines.
We ended up ordering a glass each... by the glass ranges from about $10-20 depending. Not cheap... Not atrocious.
FOOD:
The Fiery Artichoke Flatbread is FANTASTIC! Comes with fresh ricotta, roasted red peppers, pepperocini and of course artichokes. The flavors went really well together and the ricotta was like butter. The bread itself was perfect! Not dough-y and not tough.
The Beet dish is really good... very rich because of the melted goat cheese, but so YUMMY! The beets were juicy yet firm.
The Asparagus dish was 'ok'... I don't think I'd order it again... it came with shaved hard boiled egg and crispy pancetta. It sounded good on the menu but the flavors did not blend together well. And they put some sort of lemon or citrus sauce on it which made it too sour-like.
The Dates were 'ok'..... I've had better. I think it's because the bacon they used was not of the Applewood Smoke type and that the blue cheese fondue (on the side) was really runny.... versus being melted inside the date.
Anyways...overall... Yes, it's a bit pricey... $76 b/4 tax... for 2 people with a glass of wine each... but it's a really lovely meal.
If I go back... I intend on sitting on the patio and being able to savor the experience better.
