text: I had a horrible experience dining here.  The food was really bad!!!  I order the calamari to start - it came as a huge plate of fried squid...granted, that is what I had ordered, but it was a bit over the top.  I only ate about a third of it.  It would be great if the halfed the portion of this and lowered the price (pretty pricey appetizer of $16).  \n\nThe worst part was my main course.  Ordered the linguine with clam sauce and it was the WORST pasta I have ever tasted.  Even Olive Garden and Chef Boyardee are better than this pasta.  It was so incredibly bland it was like they forgot the white wine for the white wine sauce.  I couldnt' believe what I was tasting and asked my husband to try to make sure I wasn't crazy.  He shared the same sentiments so I sent it back.  Next I asked for the Roasted Shrimp Penne which was okay...at least it had some taste to it, but I have had much better.  Given the prices, the food was VERY mediocre.  I think I would have enjoyed my time more at Maggiano's across the street.\n\nA huge disappointment....we are regulars at the Wynn and Encore, and this has been my only negative dining experience at this hotel (all the other restaurants are great - SW Steakhouse, Okada, Switch, Wazuzu, Red 8, Bartolotta, etc)
