 SW Steakhouse Restaurant Review: Wynn Las Vegas visionary Steve Wynn has his initials written all over this vibrant steakhouse. To reach it, diners ride down a regal, winding escalator and enter the spacious foyer furnished with plush chairs and couches and a dazzling bar. They are then seated in the elegant dining room or on the patio facing Wynn’s Lake of Dreams, backed by a lush forest with a calming water wall on which a light show is presented at 9 p.m. nightly. For an appetizer, try the sautéed Hudson Valley foie gras with spiced cranberry and golden raisin-celery root chutney, or the king crab soup with Old Bay, tomato, aromatic vegetables and green onion croutons. Roasted garlic and lemon sauce accents the 14-ounce broiled veal chop. Traditionalists like the nine- or 12-ounce filet mignon, the 16-ounce New York steak and the 20-ounce rib-eye, offered with béarnaise, jalapeño-tropical fruit and signature SW steak sauces. The fare is complemented by the choice of 800 wines. The playful presentation of funnel cake, set among branches of a metal tree and served with huge strawberries and chocolate and caramel dipping sauces, is among SW’s sweet temptations.
