A-MAZ-ING!!!!! I can't say enough great things about this place! I stayed at the Wynn this past weekend with my husband for our anniversary. We booked the trip exclusively because we got one of those mailers earlier this year which mentioned a package with free Le Reve tickets and a complimentary meal if you stayed for at least two nights. The rate was pretty good so even though we aren't Vegas people, we booked it and were very happy that we did (I'll write a review for the hotel later and stick to the food on this review.
We chose this place while waiting in The Buffet line earlier that day. Wynn has a great app that shows a couple of their menus and since we were seeing Le Reve that night we picked Allegro because it has a specific menu meant to be had before the show. The app doesn't include all of the onsite restaurants and I was having a little bit of remorse heading into dinner here rather than at one of the more high-end onsite restaurants since the space opens right up into the casino, but when we approached the hostess I just asked to be seated further into the room and they were happy to accommodate. Once seated, I totally forgot we were only maybe 100 feet from the casino. The lighting was very romantic and the music choice was very different, but nonetheless great (it went from 80s to current, throw in some country, and then even a light reggae song- it liked it all, but my husband and I noted during the meal that it was an odd mix of songs).
When our waiter, Adam, came we were still debating what to order. The Le Reve menu in person differed a little from the menu on the app, but it still sounded great so I just needed to decide on an entrée and pick a good wine to pair with it. I love wine so I am open to trying something new and Adam recommended the Chianti. As much of a wine lover as I consider myself, I have never tried a Chianti so I told him I'd love a taster before committing. He ended up bringing a couple options for me to try so I could ensure that I had the best wine for my meal. I ended up loving the Chianti and the chef even gave the wine at a very reduced price since he was so certain that it was be the best choice for the meal and wanted to make my decision that much easier.
The Le Reve meal is $45/person and you must have at least 2 people ordering from that menu. They serve all of the appetizers to you and each person gets to pick a main entrée. The chef curates the meal so you can't customize it, but he is a talented chef who knows what he is doing so customization isn't necessary. I went with the veal marsala and my husband went with the chicken parm. The apps were amazing! I monopolized the Caesar salad while my husband devoured the meatballs. The dressing was great and you could tell that they make it fresh. The eggplant parm was great too as was the bruschetta. They gave us enough time to enjoy our apps without feeling rushed to the main course, while also not giving us too much time to sit with leftovers in front of us. When dinner came I got a second glass of wine (which was served with a very generous pour) and the food was amazing!!! My veal was a little more cooked than I prefer (but I like my steak rare, not medium-rare, I want that thing marinating in it's own blood), but like I said, the chef seemed to have a vision for the meal and he delivered. The entrees were delicious and the wine pairing was perfect!
Going into dinner, I had mentioned to Adam that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and that I wanted to see if that could do something special for us to celebrate. Also, right before the entrees came out I asked him if he knew of any classy yet relaxing places to listen to classic music and smoke a cigar. He got really excited about my question and after a couple of minutes came back with recommendations. When desert came, he brought our biscotti along with a chocolate cigar. Apparently they had them for a special event and since I mentioned our search for a cigar bar he figured that would be a cute dessert. He was totally right and it was perfect.
In summation, the restaurant was a perfect mix of romantic, classy, and intimate, the staff was accommodating and friendly, and the food and drinks were perfectly designed to compliment each other through the entirety of the meal. At the end of our meal I had some leftovers and they were happy to package it up for us. I ended up with some extra wine as well (that heavy pour gave me more than I was ready for at dinner) and Adam was happy to get me a glass that I could walk into the casino and even into Le Reve with so I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg on the wine cost in there. I already spoke with the manager directly about how great our service was, but I would HIGHLY recommend this place especially to anyone on there was to Le Reve (It is only about 100 yards from the showroom).
