Boulud Brasserie at Wynn — The Lobster Did It
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
Daniel Boulud at Wynn Las Vegas failed to impress this diner.
Our favorite food writer visits Daniel Boulud Brasserie at Wynn and comes away with a less-than-stellar impression.
Not even the crustiest critic goes out looking for a bad experience. Au contraire! Hope springs eternal that each new restaurant just might be the one that delivers a great meal with adept service in a charming environment.
Naturally, the more high profile the eatery, the more the diner is led to expect and if the name Daniel Boulud is not emblazoned in the culinary firmament, I don’t know what is.
Boulud’s Vegas home is at The Wynn, tucked downstairs with a view of the lagoon (they actually call it a lake) and its always-surprising conceptual sound and light show. The room is narrow, sinuously curved and with a palette of grays, coolly cozy. Cool might best describe the staff as well, at least until an issue arises. (more…)
