Review of Citricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
Citricos at Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is a fine dining/signature restaurant, and it won’t disappoint. Airy and comfortably elegant with large windows, it’s a welcoming environment whether it’s a date night or a family affair. We found the service to be exceptionally attentive and friendly, and the American/Mediterranean influenced menu with […]
Review of Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer – Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas
Craving caft beer, piled-high burgers, and monster milkshakes? Black Tap at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas has your back. This was our second Black Tap experience, the first being in Manhattan in a funkier, more hole-in-the-wall location. In Vegas, not surprisingly, you’ll find a more spacious venue. As in New York, the restaurant has […]
Review of Costa di Mare – Wynn, Las Vegas
Costa di Mare – a gorgeous, elegant, but also friendly and vibrant Italian restaurant in the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel. Our experience from start to finish tops the list of our dining adventures in my books. From the coastal Mediterranean cuisine, to the stylish decor, and to the excellent – even exuberant – service, our […]
Review of Cipriani – Wynn Las Vegas
We dined at the brand new Cipriani this past December, a fine dining establishment at Wynn Las Vegas. Open just a few weeks in the new Wynn Plaza Shops area of the resort, the experience was a treat from start to finish. If there were any complaints to register, it was that there may have […]
Review of Terrace Pointe Café – Wynn Las Vegas
The Terrace Pointe Café is a casual dining option at The Wynn. Open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., it’s a great spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or maybe an indulgent afternoon drink or dessert. Though casual, the interior is quite elegantly decorated, with the fresh and somewhat whimsical colors you see all over the Wynn […]
Review of Mesa Grill – Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
Looking for amazing, premium margaritas and delicious Southwestern fare? You must check out Mesa Grill in Caesar’s Palace. Owned by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, Mesa Grill is a definite bright spot in the imposing, cavernous casino. We’ve been on a number of occasions, always for lunch as it happens. Each time, Mesa Grill has more […]
Review of Delmonico Steakhouse – Venetian, Las Vegas
Delmonico Steakhouse is a longtime fixture of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, and just a short and pleasant walk away from the Wynn where we stayed this time. While other restaurants in the Venetian have come and gone, this classic steakhouse owned by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse endures. We’ve had the pleasure of dining […]
Review of Lakeside Seafood Restaurant at Wynn Las Vegas
We dined at Lakeside Seafood at the Wynn on the first night of our trip (December 9, 2018). We had originally reserved a table for 9:30pm. However, travel and check in had gone so smoothly, and we were ready to get things rolling. It was not a problem whatsoever to change our reservation to 8:30 owing […]
Lunch at the Post Hotel Dining Room – Review, October 2018
When it’s time for lunch (or a late breakfast/brunch meal), and you want something quiet, leisurely, and just a bit more refined than something ‘grab-and-go’, the Post Hotel Dining Room is a great choice. (A handy tip for those seeking lunch before noon: breakfast and brunch is also served here, from 7am-11am — the restaurant […]
