text: We stayed at Encore and walked over to the Wynn for dinner.  We'd made reservations and were treated very well by the attentive hostess.  Our bartender was Kao:  friendly, fantastic & efficient!  Our server was Jaime and she as excellent as well.\n\nUnfortunately, the food never measured up to our expectations.  I ordered the Corsa Salad with Warm Goat Cheese and had to send it back as the goat cheese was rancid.  Our server quickly replaced it with a Cesar Salad, but the dressing just didn't hit the mark.  My husband order the Steak Tartare appetizer and found it way too big (looked like a giant burger on the plate) and tasteless.  \n\nAs entrees, my simple pasta was acceptable and his Crispy Chicken Wild Mushroom Risotto was the biggest disappointment.  The risotto stood on the plate like a scoop of mashed potatoes, the chicken was NOT crispy and the wild mushrooms were not hydrated properly and the stems were woody and chewy.\n\nSadly, this was our anniversary dinner and the meal did not create the right type of memories.  Thank goodness for the good company and the wonderful bottle of Chianti.
