Review of Terrace Pointe Café – Wynn Las Vegas

May 16, 2019 By karin Leave a Comment

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 hotel. There’s great natural lighting, and spacious, comfortable seating both indoors and out.

On our recent visit, we were fortunate to have great weather for sitting outside on the patio that overlooks the hotel’s beautiful pool. Plenty of umbrellas made it comfortable on a very sunny day. We weren’t faced with a wait of any kind to be seated as the restaurant is quite large. Having said that, we found very little to be busy in Vegas in early December – so factor in time of year if you’re visiting.

Arriving at around noon, we were offered a choice of breakfast or lunch menus, and looked at both for good measure. There’s an extensive list of selections as you might expect, with hearty brunch choices like Crispy Fried Chicken and Waffles, massive omelettes stuffed with goodies like half an avocado and bacon (served with a salsa that I wished I could have purchased!), a rich sounding Croissant French Toast, and a selection of different eggs benedict.

Sandwiches and salads also abound, and as you’ll find at other Wynn dining locations, there are a number of Hawaiian-inspired options (poke bowls), smoothies and fresh juice bar selections, and a full vegan menu. Lighter calorie meals are also flagged throughout the menu. (Can’t comment – didn’t eat those.)

The service was great both times we dined here on our trip – friendly, attentive, and well-paced. Prices hover around the $20 mark (US) for most plates – we found the portions to be more than generous, and well-prepared.

Note to Blood Mary/ Caesar lovers – we ate here to kick off our first full day in Vegas, and maybe it was just that beginning-of-the-vacation magic but the Wynn Signature Bloody Mary I sipped on was absolute savory/spicy heaven, one of the best I’ve ever had.

If you’re staying at the Wynn, or just hanging out at the Wynn casino on the earlier side of the day, consider relaxing poolside with a meal (or Bloody Mary!) at the Terrace Point Café.

Lunch at the Post Hotel Dining Room – Review, October 2018

December 6, 2018 By karin Leave a Comment

Post Club Sandwich

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 is truly closed at 11 for a half an hour before reopening for lunch.)

The menu may look short on the page, but there’s a surprising variety of choices – something for everyone and every taste.

The Post’s take on the club sandwich is quite wonderful. Especially good is the rich, creamy slather of avocado and black bean mayonnaise between the layers of sour dough bread (pictured above.)



Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict is that perfect bridge between breakfast-brunch-lunch. They do a lovely job, with a beautiful Hollandaise, and delectably thin slices of smoked salmon. Yum!

On another day, the burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms was hearty and satisfying. Swapped out the fries for a tasty Caesar salad…

Other lunch selections include a chicken breast calzone, mushroom-spinach crepe dish, and on to dinner-style entrees like fillet of salmon, and beef tenderloin with gnocchi. Of course, there’s always access to the Post’s stellar wine list, so lunch can be as special as you want to make it depending on plans for the rest of the day…

If you’re looking for a more casual atmosphere, try the Post Hotel’s Outpost Pub, with not surprisingly, more pub-like fare — burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas and pizzas. While we haven’t personally dined there, it looks great and is sure to make for a hearty, satisfying lunch before heading up to the lake or wherever else your time in the Rockies takes you.
