Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. It honestly couldn't have been any better.
First of all, sit outside... the ambiance is amazing. Why would you sit in a dark room when this is available. There were two 'shows' while we ate... one with a giant frog over the waterfall (I know, right?) but it was great. It was the puppet frog singing "Wonderful World" and the other was a light show, but not in any way cheesy. It just helped create this relaxed, elegant, but still fun atmosphere. It's hard to describe the environment... not Vegas, not 'Disney', not touristy... don't know... but very much "Wynn."
Now, the actual dinner.
The service was impeccable. Our waiter and his partner were spot on, never an empty glass, always asking if we needed anything and if we were talking, they'd wait then come back when you finished... or, they'd sneak in and fill your glasses without you even knowing. When they weren't "on camera," they were still smiling and friendly just walking around... so many times, waiters put on the act when they get to your table and then you see them more 'real' when they step away. Not with our waiters. It honestly went above what I'd expect. There were also manager(s?) quietly walking around checking on things for quality control. That's a management team that gives a damn beyond the lip service of 'caring about customers'.
My friend and I ordered a variety of things. She got a lychee martini and I got a Reisling... both were amazing. I've never had a better Reisling in my life, honestly... I can't recommend it more highly. (I don't care if it doesn't "pair" with steak, it just tastes great.)
We got a Rib Eye and a NY Strip and split them. I didn't use any sauce except for a little creamy horseradish here and there but you can eat them without anything. They were cooked perfectly and the selection of meat was perfect... no gristle anywhere. They do this way to making it just crispy enough around the edges while maintaining the softness inside. We also got mashed potatoes, which were also great.... probably 3,000 calories though, haha.
Get a reservation though, that's for sure. I got mine about three weeks out but it gets tight quickly.
Overall... I can't thank SW Steakhouse enough for a better night catching up with a good friend. Everything was perfect, top to bottom. You couldn't have a more "five star" review than SW Steakhouse.
