Lakeside

The Wynn has some great restaurants, but this is one is always on the list when we stay. We first came here years ago enticed by the oyster happy hour. Well, the happy hour specials are gone, but the oysters are still around and fresh and tasty as ever.
We’ve always eaten at the bar, so I can’t comment on table service, but the bar staff is always friendly and fun. No attitude. They always have honest menu suggestions.
Some food highlights:
Spanish Octopus with white bean salad
Hudson Valley Foie Gras with bread pudding. It’s ridiculously decadent. And amazing.
Any of the fresh Hawaiian fish offerings and choice of preparation and tasty sauces.
And of course, oysters!
Beautifully decorated space– just enough Vegas glam. If you’re at a table or on the patio there’s the Lake of dreams show (think waterfall, lights, giant singing head, singing frog, dancing balls…) that happens throughout the night for some bizarre entertainment. Don’t worry, it’s not intrusive. Just a bit of fun Vegas ridiculousness.
Go! Enjoy!

The food and view/​water show was AMAZING! Their fillet, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and dessert was spot on! Their salsa even had a kick (how it should be made). Unfortunately, our waiter definitely wasn’t too nice and didn’t seem like he liked working there. For that reason, I only gave this restaurant three stars.

The concierge at the New York New York recommend this restaurant so we made reservations. Pretty fancy place but the food was amazing and the presentation of the food was top notch. I had the 12oz filet with a blue cheese crust and it was cooked perfect!

After staying and working at the Wynn for years, we had no idea this place existed! We walked in Saturday evening around 6:30 and were seated outside on the patio. The atmosphere is amazing and the shows are fun. We were there during the rodeo and they had the frog singing Friends in Low Places. Super cute. Great place for a quiet dinner (by Vegas standards!) with friends or a partner. You definitely feel like you’re not in Vegas!
We started with wine and they did an excellent job recommending one that fit not only our taste but our budget as well.
Now on to the food… We ordered a little of everything. The tuna tartar, split a piece of fish with the citrus dressing, creamed spinach, and lobster risotto finish. Everything was on point. The fish was perfectly cooked and quite honestly, I’m glad we split. The portion was actually bigger than expected. Perfect for two with the sides and app. The lobster risotto was creamy and had large chucks of lobster meat. The spinach was also super creamy and seasoned perfectly. The tuna app was also a substantial size and had a nice kick to it.
For dessert we had the crème brûlée. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and had a coffee flavor to it. Different twist, for sure!
Service was superb as well, stopping by to check in but also giving enough space to feel comfortable and not rushed.

Great dinner… poor service. Geoffrey was our server and the catch phrase of the night was «I’ll be right with you». Now I don’t know if they were understaffed but service was bad. We (2 couples) were having dinner before seeing Le Reve (which I recommend! It’s the best show in Vegas) were having dinner and only had an hour and a half before the show started. Well 15 minutes into being sat someone takes our drink order. Needless to say the service never recovered. LakeSide is lucky to have great food because the service was not great for a $ 300 dinner for two.
Food: was amazing! New York strip, lobster, crab Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were amazing! So good it made up for the poor service and the tap water tasted awful. Like it had led in the water. Food and drinks make this place what it is. Best seafood in Vegas.

Carpaccio is amazing. I come here every few months and the food is great. If you like seafood then come to lake side. There is a show outside so try and sit on the terrace.

Mostly seafood on this menu! The chicken and Caesar salad was a nice alternative for myself which I’m not a fan of seafood. My party enjoyed all the appetizers on the menu and the broccoli soup! Our waiter even played along with our Casper the ghost fourth guest!

This was an amazing, multi-​sensory experience! Our meal started with cocktails and an overflowing bread basket. The breads ranged from buttery and flaky to crisp and flavorful. The fresh catch from the Pacific waters of Hawaii was the specialty of the house, so that is what we all ordered. We all choose different accompaniments, so all if our meals were unique in taste and visual presentation. The food was plentiful and very tasty, but the best part of the evening was the incredibly gorgeous waterfall view from the restaurant patio. Every 30 minutes the waterfall ignited with light and displayed a new and different musical/​visual performance. It was so fun, so cool, and so Vegas!

We dined here at Lakeside on Saturday night with two other couple. It’s located inside Wynn right across the SW steakhouse. This Restuarant is beautiful & has a waterfall outside. They played a laser show every 20 min or so. It was so nice. The lighting & the colors of the restuarant is just perfect. The bathrooms are so nice with orange sink. Very unique & trendy ambiance.
They have the Rib Eye Glatt Kosher steak!!! I personally asked to see it, it was sealed & had the OU sign. I was so happy that they had this service.
We ordered the Glatt kosher Rib-​eye steak, the black bass & 2 of our friends ordered the regular steak with chili & crab on it. All dishes were very delicious. Mine was a bit more well-​done than what I wanted it to be but I was so happy I was having kosher steak in a Restuarant like that with the beautiful ambiance, I didn’t care at all. Usually when we go to restaurants, my husband & I are forced to get sea food because they don’t have a kosher option. We just have to sit & watch our friends eating their yummy steak while we eat our boring salmon! So the fact that we could have our kosher steak with everyone else was just priceless.
I also heard all restaurants at Wynn have vegetarian & vegan menu.
For desert, we ordered the coffee crème brûlée (very unique), orange chocolate & macadamia donut with tea & coffee. The desert was so delicious. Perfect amount of sweetness. Not too sweet.
We asked to be seated outside for the desert part so we can watch the waterfall show better. Jason, our waiter was so nice, respectful & he made that happen. The service was outstanding, I highly recommend this place & will go back to it next time I go to Vegas.

I loved SW next door with the lake view, so I made the reservation for Lakeside to try different type of food but enjoy the same view.
We ordered Yamazaki Whisky while waiting for being seated. Once we were seated, there was a bug in the glass, my guest told our service lady, Melanie, who didn’t apologize or offer the new glass but joking about that even bugs like this whisky!
My guest was nice and didn’t want extra hassle and didn’t say any more. But I asked our service lady for another new glass. She first told me that it’s my guest’s choice that didn’t ask for another glass at the first beginning, and she brought up the normal whiskey instead of Yamazaki which caused my guest headache.
After this unpleasant beginning, we found the crab shell in our avocado appetizer and another shell in my lobster risotto!
At this point, i was totally disappointed. For over $ 400 bill, I would expect better experience!

Booked a table in the patio over looking the dream lake, I should say the view and the service is outstanding. The food is just average. Had oysters and two Hawaiian fishes. There’s was nothing about the dishes that would make me want to come back again … for the price they charge ($ 47/​$ 49 for 6 ounce of fish) it was Plain & boring.

Came here for a fantastic birthday dinner courtesy of the boyf. Located downstairs of the Wynn, I absolutely fell in with everything at the Wynn and this restaurant and hinted how this hotel and restaurant is great for weddings/​rehearsal dinner, boyf begged to disagree. (ouch) Either way, he booked on Open Table and in typical Persian fashion we arrived 10 mins late to our reservation. Even though, nothing mentioned on Open Table of preference of seating, we requested to sit on the patio upon arrival since there were in fact seats but the hostess wasn’t the mostess and told us that those were reserved months ago. Boyf is Type A and always books things in advance and he was getting sassy; he booked way in advance as well. We came to a compromise and was seated across from the patio but not on the patio.
Ordered a yummy pinot noir, had the lobster rubbed with tamarind butter and was out of its shell. We got a yummy summer salad and cream truffle spinach.
The wait staff push around three live lobsters in a bright crate for your picking-​kinda sad but at least we know its fresh. Also, there is a show of lights and songs on the actual lake. We had a singing frog singing wonderful world.
Will come back for my friend’s bachelorette dinner that I am planning.

My husband and I have been wanting to come here for sometime, but because it is a fine dining restaurant, we really needed a good reason to come. So we came to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary.
My husband easily and quickly made reservations online and added to the notes what we were celebrating and that we would prefer patio seating.
A few hours before our dinner reservation, my husband received a call from the restaurant to confirm our reseravations. My husband also took the opportunity to ask what the dress code was and they did let him know that it was business casual. It’s nice to get dressed up when my husband loves his t-​shirts, shorts and sporting his kicks.
Upon arrival, because of our request, we waited for a bit. During this time in the bar area, my husband got a chance to enjoy a «STELLA!» Apparently something my husband and the bartender have in common on how to say Stella Artois.
While waiting, instead of a dessert cart or dim sum cart wheeling through the restaurant, it was large very alive lobster cart. Apparently, the Maine lobsters don’t even compare to the lobsters served by Lakeside. The most expensive and largest lobster feeds 8 people, which includes the whole lobster and the meat goes through half the body and into the legs. It is an Australian lobster at $ 178/​lb. Great learning experience, but not in my budget. Additionally, I am not much a lobster person and prefer crab. I learned from my father and have experienced that the larger a crustacean, the tougher the meat and lacks flavor.
As our table was ready, the hostess led us to the patio where we were met by the restaurant manager to wish us a happy birthday and anniversary. Apparently, the seat they had for us is the best in the house and I would agree. We were able to see everything and enjoy the «cultured» watershow.
My husband ordered a glass of syrah. As I get older, alcoholic drinks just makes me tired. So I ordered a refreshing raspberry fizz. I also recommend ordering the bottled water as the house water does not taste filtered. They serve Fiji water.
Being from HI we appreciated the Hawaiian fishes that were available. The bread selection included little french baguette, foccacio and naan. The naan was my favorite as it was made with furikaki (sesame seeds and seaweed flakes). For starters, my husband enjoyed the oyster Rockefeller and we shared my king crab chowder. My husband loved his starter and the chowder, not only tasty but filling.
My husband’s entrée was a medium chili pepper rubbed rib eye with grilled crab leg. The steak also had two grilled chili’s on top so there was a small portion of his steak that was a little too spicy for him. The steak portion was large that my husband could eat only half of it. I ordered the Hawaiian sea bass. You can choose from 4 preparations, I went with the Mediterranean which included artichoke, olive oil. The fish was a little smaller than my fist and it was thick. I felt the outside of the fish was cooked just a little too much that I used a knife to cut through. However, the inside was cooked perfectly. For our sides, we ordered the lobster poutine and bok chow. They definitely don’t skimp. The bok chow had 8 bundles. When you go to the Asian market, there’s a dozen to a bag. The bok chow was cooked well and went well with the steak and fish. The poutine was just okay but I’m a poutine novice.
The water show runs every 30 minutes which is perfect to take a break in between bites because it is a lot of food. Did I mention that the water shows are very «artistic». I like all the technology used.
Dessert was yummy! I ordered the crème Brule which was made with lychee and passion fruit and topped with mamgo. Lychee is my favorite. You can taste the lychee in the dessert and the mango pieces were a little tart so it was a perfect compliment. Because it was also my birthday, they gave us a small red velvet cupcake. It really was a perfect size to follow our filling dinner.
Before we left, the second waiter who delivered the desserts offered to take our picture. Super sweet, and they made it a point to refer to us as Mr and Mrs Santiago, even upon leaving, wishing us a good night and one last happy birthday and anniversary.
Mahalo to all the Lakeside staff for taking the time to make this a beautiful evening for my husband and I.

I dine at this restaurant consistently once a month. I have business partners that come to town and with all the options available to eat in Las Vegas this is consistently the top pic of where to go.
The service from the moment you walk in the door is stellar.
We have never had to wait for a table when making a reservation.
Now the food is «off the hook» amazing seafood. Although my steak last night was hard to beat!
The outdoor patio with the show I will not give away is a great surprise.
If the weather is nice, the patio is a must. I have even seen the man himself, Steve Wynn there a couple times;)

My favorite restaurant in all of Las Vegas! Amazing food. amazing service. Unforgettable memories.
Enjoy a show right over the lake during your dinner that takes place every 30 minutes. Check out my pictures below. Enough said!
#Bone in Rib-​eye
#Chili Rub Lobster (MP) wink wink

Romantic atmosphere with fabulous view but it doesn’t stop there the food was amazing. The light show rocked the night.
The lister risotto was the best I have ever had to date. That is saying a lot since I have travelled the world and back. No tiny bits of lobster here but chucks with tail. Creamy and rich.
Save room for dessert because it’s sure to please.
Staff is in top of it.

Chilli paste steak with king crab is what I always get
Crab bisque is a bit to heavy and wasn’t as hot as I like my soup. Ahi appetizer is amazing the lobster putine was ok thought is would be fries but it was more like hashbrown.
Food is great but what makes this restaurant amazing is the tripped out water show that happens every 30 mins… Reminiscing of sledgehammer video.

Pricey! But delicious!
If you are staying at the Wynn/​Encore, or plan on spending time here seeing a show or gambling, this is a great location to enjoy the Lake at the Wynn and some wonderful, fresh, Hawaiian seafood. I’ve eaten here twice recently and both times, the fish (flown in daily from Hawaii) has been expertly prepared. Nothing is like eating fresh fish on the Islands, but if you can’t be in Hawaii, this is a great place to enjoy the same flavors.
On my most recent visit this last week, I thoroughly enjoyed my Opah cooked Japanese style, with a side of fresh baby bok choi. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
The restaurant offers lots of steak and seafood options, but I really enjoy being able to have fresh Hawaiian seafood. You can select your fresh fish and then your choice of preparation.
The setting is beautiful, the service is excellent, and even the bread selection is amazing. And don’t forget yummy desserts!
Iced Tea Rating: 4 stars! Delicious black tea (the same served throughout the Wynn) and plenty of refills.

Beautiful décor. Stunning scenary. Quirky evening show every half hour. Great seafood. Terrific service. No complaints!
We had a 6pm reservation and stayed past 10pm because we loved the food, ambience, and shows! Started with the lobster risotto and Reisling, both lovely. The lobster macaroni and cheese was also great! Finished with the celebration cake, which is mint cream and dark chocolate — absolutely perfect combo.
Cant wait to go back!!!

Staff was amazing! I asked about the unique dish called King Crab Guacamole and she raved about it so I got it… and LOVED IT! I wanted to eat another one just for dinner but it’s an upscale restaurant so I refrained. :(My grilled shrimp salad dogs bit leave me disappointed though! So glad I came here and by myself, I might add! Everything was spot on! !
