Chef/Owner: David Walzog
Cuisine: American
The Buzz: The paint’s barely dry on Executive Chef David Walzog’s latest Vegas creation, which opened November 4 in the Wynn Las Vegas casino resort, but the food is already poised. Taking over the space formerly occupied by the Daniel Boulud Brasserie, Lakeside Grill “serves up a menu of updated American classics ranging from a prime rib that competes with the best of his beef offerings next door at SW Steakhouse, to a dessert ‘dim sum’ cart divided into nutty, creamy, chocolate, and fruit categories,” said John Curtas, of
Eating Las Vegas and Nevada Public Radio. In addition to the mouth-watering food, the restaurant boasts a 17th-century mosaic-tiled floor, a breathtaking view of the Wynn Hotel’s Lake of Dreams beyond its windows, and, according to Curtas, is “a nice, casual counterpoint to the Wynn’s more formal assortment of top-shelf eateries.”
