Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill
On December 21, 2005 we ate at the Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill inside the Venetian. It is an open air restaurant located near the KA theater. The restaurant is separated from the casino floor only by glass dividers (not walls, they don’t go from floor to ceiling). The decor itself is modern. We came in at just the right time as the restaurant was emptying out for another showing of KA. We were seated at a table next to the glass divider, which was nice, because we weren’t completely surrounded by other guests. The host/waiter was slightly annoying, but he did his job. He brought us our menus and answered any questions we had. The menus were rather interesting.
This is quite evidently not a fine dining establishment, but it carries the Wolfgang Puck name and so we had high expectations. For starters I ordered a Caesar salad, and Shinta ordered some sort of fried seafood sampler.
The Caesar salad was okay. Nothing to write home about. The seafood sampler (I forget the actual name) was quite good. It was too much food for Shinta to eat, so she got a box for it and we finished it off at the airport the next morning. I recall fried calamari and fish. I’m not sure what else was in there, but I really liked it.
For the main course, I ordered a simple small steak that came with fries. Shinta ordered some sort of muscle dish.
The steak was okay. The quality of the meat was high, and the grilling was done well. It did not lack for quality, but it wasn’t anything special. I don’t know how good the muscle dish was, but Shinta seemed to enjoy it.
