This place was good, but not as good as I expected, given that it's (a) in the Wynn, and (b) pretty expensive. \n\nI came with a party of 5 late on a weekday evening in January, so there was no trouble getting seated immediately. I think the total bill for all 5 came out to somewhere around $300 with tip and most people did not have a full, multi-course meal. A few people had 1-2 glasses of wine, and I think there were a couple of appetizers and desserts along with each person's entree.\n\nThe good - Lakeside Grill has both vegetarian and vegan items. That's great when you have a variety of diets in your group. Unfortunately, the menu as a whole is pretty small. I wasn't asking for Cheesecake Factory menu-length by any means, but it would have been nice to have a few more choices.\n\nI ended up sharing the mushroom risotto and truffle pizza with a friend. Both were amazing, but the pizza should have been called \"Onion Pizza with Truffles\" rather than a truffle pizza. The onions were completely distracting, and the pizza would have been about a million times better without them. The risotto was delicious - not like the \"Rice a Roni\" tastealikes you get at most places.\n\nDessert was not quite as good, unfortunately. I had 2 of their small desserts - a peanut butter cup thing and a s'mores dessert. Although they were pretty good, they tasted a lot like stuff you'd get over at the Wynn Buffet. I was hoping the s'mores dessert would be gooier, and that the peanut butter cup dessert would at least be possible to eat with the spoons they brought. Neither one was silverware-friendly at all, which made for some awkward dining moments.\n\nThe atmosphere was great, albeit a little cheesy and weird when the giant Max Headroom-style head was being projected out over the water. \n\nMy only major complaint was that the service was surprisingly bad for the price range of the meal. Our waiter was extremely bad at reading signals (like all menus closed, making eye contact, etc.) and the delays in service easily added at least 30-45 minutes to the length of the meal. Even paying was difficult, as they guy basically stopped coming around after we received our entrees. We had to flag down someone else for dessert menus, and to order, and again to get the check. They dragged our guy back to us, but you really shouldn't have to go to that much trouble when you're eating at a place with caviar on the menu.
