In keeping with the whimsical nature of the Wynn Resort, this two-story restaurant is elegantly designed and decorated, with an open, airy feel and special dining outdoors by "Lake of Dreams" under cabanas and misters.
Service was a bit stuffy, and we weren't really captivated by the long monologue detailing the seafood that was flown in from all the seas of the Italian Mediterranean and which weights were available. Nor did we want to see the huge platter of the fresh catch flown in that day. It became very overwhelming for lunch. My lunch buddy and I ended up simply ordering a pasta dish with tiger prawns and the lobster salad. Both were tasty, but did not define our expectations of world-class cuisine from the award-winning chef of Spiaggia in Chicago.
Bartolotta is expensive, but I plan to visit again and try more dishes, including the fish. Maybe it will earn another star once I'm convinced that flying all this fish in daily is worth the cost. However, I do recommend that you visit it at least once for its atmosphere and beauty; it's like a jewel in the Wynn crown.
