Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill Restaurant Review:

Combining the energetic feel of the beach lifestyle and the cool beauty of a garden, this 200-seat restaurant was designed to capture the essence of the laid back California dining experience introduced to Las Vegas in 1992 by the renowned chef/restaurateur. The friendly bar is popular with solo diners and those in a hurry. The wood-burning pizza oven, built into a shimmering wall covered in crushed stainless steel, turns out pies with imaginative topping combinations such as roasted mushrooms, leeks, thyme and goat cheese. Wolfgang Puck and executive chef Dustin Lewandowski’s fare is created with a contemporary twist on the classic bar and grill menu, featuring appetizers such as big-eye tuna tartare with avocado, spicy mayo and sesame wonton; and lemon-and-chili-glazed chicken wings with parsley and blue cheese dressing. Sandwiches are available for lunch. Grilled flat-iron steak with Maytag blue cheese butter and fries is a winner for lunch and dinner, as is the Prime burger with Vermont cheddar and smoked onion marmalade. Traditional at casual Puck restaurants, children are welcome, accommodated with their own menu. Worth the splurge are desserts such as caramelized banana cream pie with vanilla custard, and peach cobbler cake with vanilla ice cream. The diverse wine list focuses on new-world styles and unique American producers. Breakfast items are served from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
