SW Steakhouse

SW Steakhouse Restaurant Review:

Wynn Las Vegas visionary Steve Wynn has his initials written all over this vibrant steakhouse. To reach it, diners ride down a regal, winding escalator and enter the spacious foyer furnished with plush chairs and couches and a dazzling bar. They are then seated in the elegant dining room or on the patio facing Wynn’s Lake of Dreams, backed by a lush forest with a calming water wall on which a light show is presented nightly. For an appetizer, try the sautéed Hudson Valley foie gras with strawberry chutney, rhubarb broth and sherry reduction; or the king crab soup with Old Bay, tomato, aromatic vegetables and puff pastry croutons. Roasted garlic and lemon sauce accents the 14-ounce broiled veal chop. Traditionalists like the nine- or 12-ounce filet mignon, the 16-ounce New York steak and the 20-ounce bone-in rib-eye, offered with béarnaise, jalapeño-tropical fruit or signature SW steak sauces. The fare is complemented by a choice of 800 wines. The playful presentation of funnel cake, set among branches of a metal tree and served with huge strawberries and chocolate and caramel dipping sauces, is among SW’s sweet temptations. As with all Wynn restaurants, a menu featuring vegan selections is offered.
