We returned to SW again and really enjoyed the experience! This is definitely a high-end steakhouse on the strip and is located in the Wynn hotel. Reservations are highly recommended! The interior is very plus, and the service was extremely friendly and attentive throughout. Water glasses were constantly refilled, and the server folded your napkin if you left the table to use the restroom. A nice touch! I had the "luxe" lychee martini which was perfect - balanced and ice cold. We also had some complimentary pretzel bread, but I miss the assorted bread basket they used to do. We had the chilled jumbo shrimp entree which was delicious and was accompanied with three different sauces including a classic cocktail sauce. We also split a ceasar salad which was fresh and tasty and seemed to have a classic dressing. For an entree we had the pepper-crusted chateaubriand. I thought this was delicious and amazingly tender! We tried several side dishes. I was sad to see they don't have the lyonnaise potatoes or the potato rosti that I used to love here. We had the prime rib tater tots, mushrooms, broccoli, and parmesan truffle fries. The tater tots were the highlight. They were perfectly crisp outside and had a wonderful fluffy interior. The broccoli and mushrooms were also very tasty. I did not care for the fries as the truffle flavor was just too much for me. For dessert I had the souffle. Although it's labeled as "for sharing," it was rather small and easily served just one person. It was delicious and featured rich chocolate flavor and lacked the "eggy" flavor you get from poorly prepared souffles. This was a great high-end dining experience, and I recommend SW steakhouse!
The food never misses here, always taste great, views are unmatched, wait staff is incredible, I really compare all my restaurant experiences to any restaurant within the Wynn. Several years ago, i could have sworn they had truffled cream corn and man, that was the best creamed corn ever! I believe it was elote inspired creamed corn during my most recent visit at SW Steakhouse back in July The wagyu here melts in your mouth, sides are shareable, pull apart pretzel bread is fun. Oysters and caviar are exceptional.
It's the best place in Vegas. That's all I'm Going to say. JUST GO. BYE ! Food -10/10 Ambiance -100/10 Service - UNRIVALED
The food was mediocre overall. The steaks weren't anything special. I'm honestly not sure how it's possible to make an octopus dish underwhelming, but they managed to do it. While the grilled octopus itself was tender, the sauce just didn't work. The ravioli, on the other hand, was unexpectedly good. The sauce was absolutely divine and easily the highlight of the meal. The steaks were just okay. I actually visited about 15 years ago, and if I remember correctly, I had the same impression back then. The service was excellent, and the ambiance is incredibly romantic, especially with the view of the Lake of Dreams. Those two alone are enough to earn this place 4 stars. For the price, though, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.
Located in the Wynn down the escalator by the Parasol and aft bar is this beautiful and classic restaurant. I was celebrating my birthday and they did not disappoint. Attention to detail is the name of the game with a little chair for your purse. The service compares to none other with them answering questions without me even asking. The food is delicious, with me and my husband splitting crab cakes, a boneless ribeye, chopped salad, and potato's augratin. The dinner came with a show that runs every 30 minutes on the lake of dreams. The night ended with a complimentary desert to celebrate my special occasion. This is absolutely the best of the best.
Amazing service amazing steaks appetizers and food do you have a special occasion this is the place at 730 they start the light show it's a great experience
I've been to SW Steakhouse a few times, but I honestly didn't realize how difficult it can be to get a reservation especially during a holiday weekend. Knowing we were going to be spending 4th of July in Las Vegas, I tried booking about a month and a half in advance through OpenTable, but there was absolutely no availability. I was notified that additional reservations could possibly open up seven days before our desired date, but unfortunately I waited too long and checked about four days before our trip... and everything was completely booked. We were staying at Wynn/Encore and originally had reservations at another steakhouse across the Strip, but traffic was completely stopped and we knew making it on time was not looking promising. We canceled and decided to take our chances at SW. To our surprise, even though the restaurant was fully committed, they have a great bar area with plenty of seating options not just seats at the bar, but also smaller tables for two and four. Of course, it's not the full booth-style dining experience, but honestly, our service was absolutely amazing and we still felt completely taken care of. We ordered the 36 oz bone-in ribeye to share, along with mashed potatoes and mushrooms , and everything was cooked perfectly. I also had a lemon drop martini that was amazing. From the food, to the service, to the atmosphere everything was exactly what you expect from Wynn. Wynn/Encore never disappoints. I'm so glad we decided to shoot our shot because we ended up having such a great dinner experience. Definitely recommend SW Steakhouse and if you can't get a reservation, don't be afraid to try the bar seating. You might get lucky like we did!
Lovely restaurant in the Wynns hotel. The restaurant was gorgeous. The outside had a cascading waterfall wall that was so soothing to watch. Servers were very professional and on top of everything. Steak was amazing. Had a seared peppercorn crust. So delicious. Truffle fries were so good. Came with a couple dipping sauces that I loved. The creme brûlée was perfect. If you're looking for an amazing steak restaurant this is it.
Went to SW Steakhouse for Mother's Day dinner and it was honestly such a good experience. The food was amazing, the patio/view at night was beautiful, and the ambiance in general was just really nice. Also wanna give a shoutout to our busser Nana because she was SO attentive the whole night and had the best personality. She really helped make the dinner feel extra special and was on top of everything without being overbearing. Loved her.
11/10 dining experience. Came here for dinner and ended up with one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Everything from the food to the service to the view with a water show was outstanding. From the moment we were directed to our seat until we reluctantly concluded our meal, we were treated like the only guests in the restaurant. With a full patio, the atmosphere and attention to detail is unmatched by any other steakhouse we have visited. Unlike other steakhouses in vegas, you are treated to wonderful waterfall shows while waiting for your meal. Amazing vocals and visual effects had the whole audience locked in. The star of the show was the bone in rib eye. Juicy with the perfect crust, it was flavorful and presented nicely. Thank you SW and we will 100% be returning.
Was invited to this dinner last minute for a business dinner and loved the ambiance! I really felt fancy when I walked in and believe this may be one of the best restaurants I have been to concerning fanciness. . Now for the food, the seafood tower was great! Can never go wrong with seafood. The leg of bone, bone marrow was too much for me... I thought the flavor was not there and I am just not a fan of marrow in general. . The salads looked fantastic and my sea bass was amazing!! Overall, for a steak restaurant I think this place is quite good and the service is held to a high standard... but I am a foodie and feel there are so many other restaurants in Las Vegas and I wanted something other than steak and seafood. . The bread was fabulous, the seafood great but would have loved something a little more unique and special for such a nice restaurant!
Finally made it to SW Steakhouse after many trips to Vegas, and I genuinely cannot believe I waited this long. This was easily one of the best meals I have had in Vegas, and I will absolutely be back. We had a reservation but did not request an outdoor table. Once we arrived and saw how beautiful the patio was, we asked if we could get an outdoor table and let them know we were fine waiting. We were quoted about 30 minutes, but it ended up being much quicker, which was such a great start to the night. The outdoor ambiance is exactly what you want in Vegas--lively but still intimate, with strong heaters for cooler nights and a stunning waterfall show known as the "Lake of Dreams," which plays every 30 minutes starting at sunset. It really complements the high-end dining experience and makes the whole night feel special. Dinner was incredible. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the lobster blossoms, oysters, Caesar salad, 12 oz filet, salmon, short rib ravioli, wild mushrooms, mac and cheese, fries, and the Rocky Road dessert. Our server, Antonio, suggested ordering several items as half portions (which most restaurants don't offer) which made it so easy to try a little bit of everything. The Caesar salad is huge--easily enough for four people. The filet was cooked perfectly, and Antonio even brought out a trio of complimentary dipping sauces, although it was great on its own. The short rib ravioli was a standout. I was not a huge fan of the lobster blossoms since I am not big on deep-fried foods, but I still do not regret trying them. At the end of our meal, Antonio noticed that we did not touch the salmon and offered to box it up. When we said no thank you because it was a bit too oily for our taste, he went ahead and removed it from the bill without us even asking, which was such a thoughtful gesture and really speaks to the level of service here. They also serve complimentary pretzel bread and butter, which was so good. The birthday dessert is on the smaller side, so we upgraded to the Rocky Road, and it was 100% worth it. Overall, everything was top tier. Antonio truly made the experience even better. This is definitely going to be a must-visit for me every time I am in Vegas!
I was with business partners, a total of 5 of us on this dinner. I have been fortunate enough to sample many various offerings in the resort corridor over the years and SW Steakhouse achieved a new low. We had a reservation at 7:30pm, checked in 5 minutes late but not a full restaurant so all was well. The Wynn Hotel usually sets the standard for fine cuisine and they rarely disappoint. On this particular evening they managed to disappoint to a new low, actually very impressively, as we saw a server twice in almost 2 hours. That leaves empty glasses with less revenue on the table no doubt. The mains (5) steaks came out after 1 hour and 45 minutes. An astonishing poor performance for this brand that we wondered if the kitchen was closed. The food was fine when it finally came, good taste, cooked as specified, and all of the sides were ok. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was ok, clean, well stocked restrooms, no issues there. However, the service here is on par with a Golden Corral, or less than that brand. In what world does it take 2 hours to feed 5 people on a $1k+ dinner? Was extremely disappointing, won't return anytime soon.

We had an incredible meal combined with 5-star service and an exquisite setting outside next to the Wynn water feature. We were surprised with a chefs special appetizer of sliced wagyu steak skewers. Holy cow delicious and melt in your mouth! The shortrib ravioli was simply amazing. Generous in filling and the dijon butter sauce was elegant and not over powering. We ordered the tomahawk steak to split and it was sheer perfection in cooking and taste. Dessert of a Rocky Road chocolate decadence and a flambé banana foster cheesecake and it was quite a night!! My only complaint was not enough salad dressing on the Caesar salad so will be asking for a side next time :) read more
What a beautiful restaurant! This upscale steakhouse is located in the luxurious Wynn hotel and faces the lake where they project various shows throughout the night. A perfect setting for date night, a get-together with friends, or even a business meeting. I highly recommend requesting a table with a view of the lake. I think the best time to come for photos is before sunset. After sunset, the vibe is more romantic and dark, so pictures will not be as clear. The menu showcases your typical steakhouse specials. They serve complimentary bread and butter which was delightfully fluffy and tasty. We got the chopped salad which was a nice, clean start to our meal. Then we had the filet mignon which just melted in my mouth. The mac and cheese was not my favorite. It came out lukewarm and didn't have much flavor. But the meal ended on a high note with a wonderful surprise mini cake for my birthday :) Overall, the service was good. I wish our server came by the table a bit more since it was hard to flag her down for drink refills and the check. read more

There are so many steakhouses in town. Food taste alone is no longer enough indulgence. I like dining with some views or different vibes. SW is a nice option, especially in the good weather to be seated outside. Romantic and relaxing atmosphere by the lake. read more

Water glasses were constantly refilled, and the server folded your napkin if you left the table to use the restroom. A nice touch!

SW steakhouse did not just offer great food but also exceptional service. They even had a mini chair for my purse! I've been to many steakhouses, but they've all felt old. This was sexy and youthful. There was also a fountain show outside. The steak was tender, juicy, and had the right amount of char. I appreciate they cut the steak into pieces. The sides were great supporting cast members. Definitely recommend. 10/10 read more
Ranked as one of the top steakhouses in Las Vegas, SW Steakhouse delivers an upscale dining experience at the Wynn Casino and Resort. Service and quality and top tier with attentive wait staff. The food was superb as you would expect at any high end steakhouse. My boneless prime rib was well seasoned and left me very full. The sides consisting of puree potato, tater tots and corn brulee were ok but nothing that was memorable. I would definitely reserve this place for special occasions as it offers that elegant steakhouse feel. Pro tip: when you make a reservation, ask to be seated outdoors so you can view The Lake of Dreams show that plays every half hour with different scenes. It makes for a unique dining experience. read more

Food is amazing we split a rib eye and ravioli dish, and they even sliced the ribeye it for us. Recommend getting medium rare since it still cooks on the hot plate they serve it on. 10/10 recommend the shareable pineapple upside down cake . Mac and cheese was really good. Skip the au gratin potatoes. If you want to see the show make sure to check the time it starts by calling the restaurant Sat on the patio both visits and would do again read more

If you want some good quality meat, SW Steakhouse has the best steak around! The Bone-In Rib Eye was amazing! The meat has been aged and procured from the finest Midwestern ranchers. It was perfectly cooked (medium), tender yet juicy and charred to give it a unique flavor. Definitely the best Rib Eye I have ever had! The Baby Beet Salad and Complimentary Bread were really good starters. Besides the steaks and chops, SW had some delicious sides (big enough to share) and my favorite was the Maine Lobster Sardinian Gnocchi. Different from your average gnocchi but good and paired well with a steak. Also enjoyed the cocktails and if you come after 8pm, expect short shows every half hour on the lake! Dinner and a show, who can complain? The Singing Frog is what the restaurant is known for so well that they even have a beer named after it which is bomb! Overall amazing experience! Definitely recommend if you want a good steak, some drinks or even just a nice lakeside view. The steaks are a must! UPDATE: Food, drinks and ambiance are all still amazing! Service was on point and was upgraded from indoor seating to lakeside. The views were awesome for date night. The food was delicious and loved the Short Rib Ravioli; that needs to be made into an entree. The show started after sunset and came on about every 30 minutes. If I didn't have the show Awakening to catch after, I would have stayed for dessert. Definitely have to check it out if you're at the Wynn! read more
Finally back after 8 years and everything is still excellent. Hubby and I came to SW for our 8th year anniversary. I made reservations online a few weeks before our visit and we were seated right away when we arrived. All the waiters were very courteous and attentive. We enjoyed: Bread basket: 5/5 the three complimentary types of breads were fresh and warm. Pretzel was my fav. Pink sangria: 4/5 pretty tasty! Lychee martini: 3/5 this was ok, kinda sweet Tomato salad: 5/5 light and refreshing Cowboy ribeye: 5/5 cooked to perfection. I was able to finish about 3/4 of it. Our waiter said he was impressed. Potato au gratin: 3/5 not what I remember it to be. Texture and flavor was very average. I would skip this. Anniversary truffles: 5/5 these complimentary truffles were absolutely delicious. The white ones were amazing! Service and steak were top notch. Definitely recommend this place if you need a stea read more

I'm late, writing this review. We came to SW Steakhouse after we got married. This restaurant delivers professionalism and top tier service. We ordered a variety. The seafood tower, Mashed potatoes and steak to share. And to add something special, we were given a complimentary creamy cheesecake to congratulate us. Everything was so good! I also enjoyed the dim lighting which made it romantic. Thank you again, we'll be returning :) read more

I had high expectations for SW Steakhouse at the Wynn, but unfortunately the service fell well short of what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The evening actually started off well. The server handling our beverages was attentive, friendly, and kept our drinks filled despite it being a busy Saturday night. No complaints there. The problems started after our food order was taken. Our food server took our order, stopped by once for a quick "How is everything?" shortly after the food arrived, and then essentially disappeared. After finishing dinner, our party of four sat with empty plates for at least 20 minutes without anyone checking on us. By this point, the restaurant had noticeably cleared out. What made it more frustrating was that I saw our food server look over at our table and say something to the drink server during this long stretch. It genuinely felt like he had no interest in coming back to our table. We were a party of four with a bill of around $450, and the level of attention we received simply didn't match the setting. Eventually, the drink server returned with the dessert menu. We believed we had ordered the crème brûlée through him, but somewhere there was a miscommunication and he thought we were still deciding. Then...nothing. Another 30 to 40 minutes passed without anyone returning. Finally, a woman came by, (my impression was because we'd been seated well beyond our allotted dining time) and asked if we wanted dessert. I explained that we had been waiting because we thought our dessert order had already been placed, and that this was now the second extended period where no one had checked on us. She apologized and entered the order. At that point, I assumed things would improve, especially after we had explained what had happened. Unfortunately, they didn't. Our desserts were delivered, but once again no one came back to check on us. Another 25 to 30 minutes passed before I had to ask someone to get a manager. As the manager walked over, I watched him stop and speak with both of our servers while they looked toward our table. When he arrived, I jokingly said, "Well, I know you've already been briefed." He denied it, saying they were discussing another table. Maybe that was true, but from where we were sitting, it certainly didn't appear that way. I explained the entire experience from start to finish. To his credit, he apologized and comped three drinks and one dessert, which I appreciated. However, while the gesture was nice, it didn't change the overall experience. The disappointing part is that a week earlier we had a dinner at an Outback Steakhouse, where a young server provided similar service (which I said at the time that's what you would expect from a outback) . I never expected to leave SW Steakhouse at the Wynn feeling like the service experience was comparable, or arguably worse. For a restaurant with SW's reputation and pricing, you're paying for more than just excellent food. You're paying for exceptional hospitality. Unfortunately, that's not what we received. I don't mind spending money for a great dining experience, but this simply wasn't one. read more

How is this place only rated 4.1 stars on Yelp? We have dined at SW several times over the years, from intimate anniversary dinners to a family Thanksgiving meal. Every visit the service, ambience, wine and cocktails, and most importantly the food have all been on point. I have zero critiques for SW. Please keep doing exactly what you have been doing, it is a perfect equation. Let's start with the appetizers. The Grilled Spanish Octopus was one of the best versions I have had outside of Barcelona itself. I also highly recommend the Crispy Lobster Zucchini Blossoms. Both are must-order dishes. If you love steak, get the bone-in ribeye. It is my ideal steak cut, with great marbling and fat content and the bone for extra flavor. You simply cannot go wrong, and their execution is perfection. My medium rare came out exactly right. The sides are just as strong. The SW fries were honestly the best french fries I have ever had. The creamed spinach is classic and very well done. SW remains one of my favorite steakhouses in Vegas and is an easy recommendation for any special occasion or memorable meal. read more
This was by far the best steak I have had in my life. I walked in and sat at the bar. I saw the ribeye, it was huge (20+ oz boneless) and I wasn't hungry... but I thought to myself why the hell not? I'll just eat half and have leftovers. I could not stop eating until I finished the whole thing. It was very well seasoned, and had a beautiful crust. It was an explosion of flavors. I can't wait to go back to Las Vegas and eat it again read more
SW steakhouse was a really cool experience. The most notable, and perhaps most popular, aspect of this restaurant is the lake of dreams show that plays every 30 minutes during dinner. The show uses a combination of lights, holograms, and animatronics which are choreographed to different songs throughout the night. The service was friendly but they were definitely more attentive to certain tables. Likely a little profiling going on to try and maximize tips. Food was good but not amazing. As you would expect, the prices are on the higher side for what you get but this is to be expected when dining at an upscale restaurant on the strip and was comparable to most other restaurants of the same level here. Overall good experience but not sure I'd go back. Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total: 3.75/5 read more
Food was amazing! Service was on key! We offered the Hamachi Crudo. Fresh and tasty. For diner I ordered the Dry Aged Bone in New York steak with the white cheddar, fontina & Gruyère Mac and Cheese.Our steak was cooked to perfection medium rear! Then mac and cheese was heaven and crumbs on top added a nice crisp. I also enjoyed a Lychee martini which is one of my favorite drinks. Loved it! My husband ordered the margarita and it was also very well made and was delicious. The place itself was nice, warm and inviting. I felt the food took a a little longer than expected. For dessert we had tried the Rocky Road which our waiter suggested. So good if you love chocolate. Hands down one of the best desserts I've had. Definitely a place you have to try. read more

Hands down one of the best steaks we've ever ate. This place knows quality and service. My husband and I made reservations as we wanted to stay "in" the hotel that night. SW was the right choice. Not only was our serves friendly and welcoming but attentive service received is exactly what we wanted. I can full heartedly say we will be making another reservation here next time around. Besides the fabulous steak, an item worth mentioning were the Rockefeller oysters. They were divine, no notes. Although, we had a slight delay to be seated, it didn't matter because the overall experience was wonderful. read more
luxury experience from beginning to end. multiple servers tending to you, and everyone around is just extremely attentive. they brought out a mini chair so my bag wouldn't be on the ground. house bread is just as fluffy and perfect as it looks. lychee martini was probably the lightest one i've ever had, fruity, fragrant, and slightly tart. ribeye steak came with three sauces (house sauce - barbecue reminiscent, chimichurri, and horseradish which was prob the best). a job well done BUT THE BEST BITE OF FOOD I HAVE PROB EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE, the short rib tater tots...the server explained that the staff stretch and fuse the cheese and potato together to create the dish, and it was just a magical crispy first bite filed with tender short rib. i could've ordered only this as a meal they gave us chocolates for our anniversary! so kind read more
Short Review- Extremely overpriced, this place is not for people who are looking for the best food from a steakhouse in vegas even though they charge like it. This place is good if you are trying to impress someone with ambiance and luxurious levels of service, perhaps a date night or something like that. Longer Review Ambiance- This is where this place shines. We sat out on the patio as it was a gorgeous evening, the vibes were immaculate and the scenery pulls you out of vegas with the lake, greenery and waterfall with the show. Truly unrivaled in this department. Service- The service was top notch, the waiting staff definitely go above and beyond. Our drinks were never empty, someone was never too far when we needed something, our orders were taken promptly, it does seem like they actually care about you enjoying your time here. There are plenty of little high end touches as well, for example they bring tiny chairs over for your bags. Food- We ordered, a ribeye (medium-rare picture attached), the rosemary chicken, and the salmon, with the Brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. The chicken and salmon my party says were fine however I did not get a chance to try them. I ordered the ribeye and it too was just fine. It was about as ordinary of a steak as you can think of, the cook was just barely acceptable, it had pretty large grey banding. They said something about the light on the patio would make it look overcooked, which was accurate, shining a phone flashlight on it reveals the cook not how it appears on the plate. The steak was just extremely bland, no salt or seasoning, would be what I would expect from an outback steakhouse or similar, not a steak that costs over $100. They give you three sauces for the steak, which were okay, I do not think a good steak needs any help, this steak though does benefit from those slightly as it definitely did need some help. The sides were also just fine, being fairly unimpressive and bland. The food just feels like they are playing it as safe as possible. The main problem with the food comes when you factor in its price, you are paying upper echelon pricing, for what I would consider to be average or slightly below average food especially for a steakhouse. Here you are mainly paying for the experience around the food. We did not go because I was looking for ambiance or service, I was recommended this place because of their food and I wanted an excellent steak. We are foodies and have tried a good percentage of the steakhouses in vegas over the years, this place unfortunately doesn't come close to being in the conversation for the best as far as the food is concerned, it may be the best in experience though. read more

I normally don't write reviews, especially this long after a visit, but this experience has stayed with me for years and I felt like it was worth sharing. I visit Las Vegas multiple times a year, and I was genuinely excited to try this place at the time. Despite all the amazing dining options in Vegas, this is one restaurant I've consistently avoided recommending because of how we were treated. From the moment we sat down, the service felt noticeably different compared to the tables around us. It genuinely felt like we were being judged, and even though we were dressed appropriately and not casual at all, it seemed like we didn't fit what they considered their typical customer (if you know, you know). Because of that, the service we received felt subpar. Other tables received attentive and friendly service. Staff checked in often, offered suggestions, and made sure everything was taken care of. Our experience was the opposite. We were largely ignored, no one checked on us, and no one asked if we needed anything. When we did try to ask for recommendations, the responses felt dismissive and unfriendly. I've honestly never experienced anything like that at a restaurant before. It left such a sour impression that even years later, I still think about it. Anytime someone asks me for restaurant recommendations in Vegas or I come across this place, it's an easy no for me. As for the food, it was good, but not memorable enough to make up for the experience. The filet mignon was solid, but nothing spectacular. One of the main draws is the water show, but we were seated in a spot where we couldn't really see it, and the show itself felt shorter than expected. I debated posting this after so much time, but the fact that I still think about it says a lot. I just hope future guests are treated more equally and with the level of service everyone deserves. Edit: I'm not looking for anything from the restaurant. My opinion is 100% honest and nothing will entice me to go back there. read more

Nemo M., we regret your experience at SW Steakhouse did not live up…
We arrived at SW on a Sunday and had the greatest experience. It was my first time going, and I was with a group who had been before. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, and we had a table facing the outside, so we got a great view of the show happening out by the water. Our waiter Anthony was fantastic. Even though it was busy that night, he always made sure we had everything we needed and that we were taken care of. We ordered the tomahawk steak, which was excellent quality and cooked perfectly. We added the Oscar style with asparagus and king crab, and it was a great choice. I'm really glad we shared everything because it was a lot of food. The cream corn brûlée was something new for me and I loved it since it was the perfect mix of sweet and savory. The whipped mashed potatoes were creamy and full of flavor, and the king crab tater tots were packed with real chunks of crab and tasted amazing. We also added a Maine Lobster, which was a nice bonus to the meal. We had so many delicious dishes to try at the table, and the portions made it easy to share and even take home leftovers. Overall, the food, service, and view made this a memorable night. I can't wait to go back. read more

I came here for my ten year anniversary. Husband and I studied the menu before coming here as we were looking forward to trying it. I want to start off by saying that the service here is definitely 5 stars. We had made a reservation to sit outside by the lake of dreams and they accommodated us. They even offered me a chair for my purse. Love touches like this. We had a waiter and a server dedicated for drinks and for water. We noticed our silverware and plate had stuff stuck to them and they rapidly replaced them. They check in to make sure everything that hits your table is to your liking. The complimentary pretzel bread was warm soft and delicious. Great way to start dinner. We ordered a boneless ribeye medium. The cook on it was good and it came with complimentary sauces such as bbq, horseradish, and smoked chimichurri. The chimichurri was the best one. The sides were ordered were the king crab tots, wild mushrooms, Gruyère Mac and the potatoes au gratin. Out of all the sides, the best one was the king crab tots. The rest were somewhat bland. We ordered the chocolate cookie soufflé to share and it was just okay. The best dessert ended up Being the complimentary truffles. They were delicious! The lake of dreams also was a great addition to dinner. I only give it a 3 because other than the steak, everything else was just okay. I'm still glad we tried this place and maybe other dishes are better but for the price point, I was expecting it everything to have more flavor. Def try it at least once and see for yourself. read more

Delicious steak, true to their name. Service is wonderful and they are great for those with food sensitivities. read more
Yes, it's a lot of money. I'm not going to go on and on about it. This is the place you go when you really want to celebrate. The beef is incredible. Our group had ribeyes, New Yorks, and fillet mignon. The oysters were good but small. The sides impressed: creamed corn brûlée, mac and cheese, the mashed potatoes were great. The French fries were incredible. The lobster seemed slightly over cooked, but not terrible. The service is on point! read more
What a fantastic place to celebrate the first day of 2026! Excellent service! We got seated right away, served water, and were given a chair for my purse! Love it! Everything we ordered was delicious from the complimentary brioche to the main dish and sides. The cocktails were perfect! And oh, what a classy ambiance! Highly recommended for very special occasions! read more

Ask the Community - SW Steakhouse
Where's the best place to sit ?inside main dining area or out by the waterfall?
Patio, no question as long as the weather is nice.
Do they still serve the Marshmello DJ cake where its toasted tableside?
Negative
Can you eat dinner at the bar? Would a reservation to eat at the bar be needed or would it be first come first serve?
Yes, it's a full dinner service at the bar, no reservations needed, first come, first served.
Do they still have the chili rubbed steak on the menu? Had a long time ago, and would love to order it again. However, I don't see it on their menu. I hope it's still available.
The chili rubbed steak is no longer part of the menu
How do I eat?
In this restaurant, you eat by using a knife and fork while sitting at a table. Very traditional approach to how you eat when at a restaurant.
Can you still bring your own wine for a corkage fee?
Yes, you can. My husband and I were there recently and did this with friends over a special bottle we brought. I do not know the corkage fee.
Does this place allow children under 5 for private group dining? (I ask here because no one answers my calls or emails)
I think Wynn hotel does not allow children under 5 in any fine dining establishment, including SW. I do not think private dining matters as I was told the same rule when I was inquiring a reception dinner for my wedding at SW or Mizumi. Children…
I'm traveling alone, do they accept walk-ins?
Yes if you go early like at 5:00 pm. The bar has open seating for 6 or 8 I think.
Are kids allowed to dine in?
Yes! I saw some families dining while I was there (kids around 8-10years old). Although, I'm not sure if they have special accommodations for children.
I made reservations one month in advance prior to me coming to Las Vegas , will I be guaranteed an outdoor seating, as I requested in early June on my reservation?
You would want to call the restaurant as I don't believe they typically guarantee outdoor seating unless you have some pull or status.
Do they allow you to choose your steak?
No it's not that kind of restaurant but you may choose your cut and grade all the way up to $75. per ounce Japanese Wagyu Kobe.
Is the patio open during the winter months? If so, is it heated well?
Yes on both count
Can I wear opened toes high heels?
Absolutely yes!!! You can get as dressy as you want. Pre-COVID, men had to wear dress slacks. Now, they allow everything from jeans to fancy :) have fun!
Is there valet parking if you're dining at the steakhouse?
There is Valet at the Wynn where the restaurant is at.
Do they do anything special if you note on the reservation that you are celebrating a birthday or do you need to call and make a special request? I've been reading mixed reviews...
They brought a small dessert out with a candle. It was unexpected and we had an amazing experience.
Can you sit on the terrace if you have a 10pm dinner reservation?
Hello Alexis, patio seating is based upon availability. You may put in a request for patio seating upon checking in for your reservation. Thank you.
Anyone from San Diego who can comment on SW's dry aged rib eye vs Born and Raised's?
Give me 2 hours to answer
Can you bring in your own bottles of wine for a corkage fee?
Hello Michael, we allow guests to bring in wine to our restaurants only if we do not offer that bottle on our wine list. The corkage fee is $50 per 750ml bottle and $100 per magnum bottle. Maximum 2 bottles. Thank you.
