| - We selected Tableau because we wanted to be able to make reservations for brunch for a special occasion. Surprisingly, there are not many places in town that fit that bill. Many places (understandably) will not consider a wait list for breakfast or brunch unless you go to their establishment. And we just didn't want to wait in a long line.
SHORT VERSION: food = 5 stars; service = 3/4 stars; ambiance = 5 stars
FOOD: Come on, it's the Wynn, so quality is on the menu. And the options include simple American fare: steak sandwiches, seafood soup, basic breakfasts, and a few (but not a wealth of) respectful vegetarian and vegan options added balance to what seemed like a fairly basic breakfast menu. And everything we ate (see above) was delicious. The bread basket was outstanding and the homemade jams and ketchup were stand outs.
Side note: I think they have the best fries in town. I haven't collected any data or done any local fry comparison, but those fries were perfect. I said it--perfect.
DECOR: I loved the indoor design and color scheme. I admit to finding other parts of the Wynn a little ornate for my taste, but the light colors and romantic shapes coupled with the with the mixed motifs on the upholstery leads to a modern/light/elegant feel to the space. Outside the landscaping and arrangement does all of the ambiance work. As it should. The pool area isn't "pretty", but the strategic use of foliage and color and shape make it feel special. I don't know that any casino in town has provided as much outdoor restaurant space as the Wynn has.
SERVICE: Surprisingly, the service left me wavering between 3 and 4 stars for the experience. Our glasses were left empty for so long that we finally had to flag down a different waiter to request service. While not our waiter, the man who helped us was incredibly accommodating and responsive. But the lapse of service outside was not limited to our table. And that was a disappointment. Does it even need to be said that part of the experience in a place like Tableau is the service?
IS IT "DRIVE TO THE STRIP WORTHY"? No.
OVERALL: I enjoyed the meal (particularly the fries) and would return with guests. But I didn't love it because of the lapse in service and the simplicity of the dishes. If I want brunch on the strip with a nice outdoor view and I don't need to make reservations, there are options where service is always spot on and I enjoy a slightly more creative menu. The spotty service was a surprise as a Wynn property, but more disappointing was the feeling that this level of service was not unusual for the outdoor seating area. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and am confident others would as well, but I am not in a rush to get back.
