Editorial Review for Alex at Wynn Las Vegas – by Ryan Slattery
In Short
Make a grand entrance with your date as you descend the hourglass-shaped staircase and arrive in a sparkling, 162-seat dining room splashed in white with crystal chandeliers and mahogany wood accents. Stratta's four-course prix fixe menu ($120) and seasonal tasting option ($145) includes specialty dishes like the foie gras ravioli in truffle bouillon with duck confit salad and spring lamb with chopped parsley and garlic and boulangere potatoes.

Having dined at all of Jean George's restaurants in NYC, several of Joel Robuchon in NY and in Paris, Pierre Gagnaire, etc... I have to admit that Alex proudly fits into this magnificent row. The overall experience, from the reception (seating strictly on time) through the service, decor and food quality was truly outstanding. The MUST have item is the risotto appetizer...it is just soooo good! As far as pricing - it is rather on the expensive side, but it is worth every penny. Looking forward to repeat this delicious experience next time in Vegas. Bravo Alex!
Pros: Everything

After reading the reviews and checking out the menu posted by the entrance my friends and I made a reservation for 3 at 9PM. When entering the restaurant, we were wowed by the decor and the attention to detail. Two of us ordered from the prix fixe and another had the tasting menu. Some starters (cauliflower puree, shellfish fritter [i forget which], procuitto on a breadstick, tuna tartare on scallop chip) were good (fritter, tartare) to what the heck (procuitto)? The 1st course from the tasting (yellowtail with osetra) didn't work as flavors didn't flow. They also gave us (who had the prix fixe) a langostine ravioli which was ok. Second course of the tasting (scallop) tasted good but didn't impress. 3rd of tasting (foie gras) tasted like regular liver, not foie gras. Our prix fixe app of cheese agnolotti and lobster were nothing spectacular as the flavors just weren't there. The entrees ranged from mushy and tasteless (stuffed rabbit), to overly salted and mushy (wagyu beef on tasting menu), to average (turbot with what we called a water sauce because it had no taste). The tasting menu pre-dessert (passionfruit cheesecake) was way too tart, and the prix-fixe pre-dessert was an average panna cotta. Actual desserts of a sort of strawberry shortcake was ok, and my lemon "souflee" had a nest of caramel strands that was too dense and felt like glass in my mouth even in small bites, and was mostly ignored. The actual lemon crepe was something I would learn out of culinary school (of which i am attending). For $150 for prix fixe and $200 for a tasting menu, we were sorely disappointed. We left without touching the pettite fours because we were in too much of a hurry to leave. We did talk to the manager and they were kind enough to remove the tasting menu from the bill. Maybe it was because the head chef left at 8PM, but still, a poor experience from a 5 star restaurant.
Pros: Decor, took off tasting menu from bill due to poor food
Cons: Food
