The Solo Scale:

---

Located in the Wynn, just down the hall past the Buffet, is a modern American cuisine — La Cave. This is more Americanized/California style cuisine, but that usually means more of a general array of food. The chances are high that there’s something on the menu that you’re going to like. It’s not a super busy restaurant, but it would still be wise to get reservations if you really want to try it out. This is advice I would echo for any restaurant on the strip.

As you enter, there’s a full dining room area at the front, but they’ll first seat at the back near the windows (with some of them having a slight Sphere view). Here, the ambiance of the restaurant is very casual with mood lighting. There’s a few comfortable chairs in this area, but I wouldn’t recommend eating in them. They’re more the style that you might want to take a nap in.

Your waiter will explain the restaurant and how they operate. This will include a warning — meals come out tapas style, meaning that food doesn’t come out in the traditional appetizer to entrée style. Instead, cold foods will come out first, followed by the hot. Keep that in mind when you place your order, in case you were hoping for a more regimented meal. That was the complaint of the table beside us. Even though they were warned, they expected a more traditional service.

When it came time to order, we began with cocktails. I did a Tuscan Pear, which was a substantial drink that wasn’t too strong on the pear (and I tasted more of the wine included), but it was a refreshing start. Cocktail prices are pretty average to the rest of Las Vegas, but they’re nothing too shocking.

From there, we ordered a whole host of items including a charcuterie board, and several appetizers. You’ll find the reviews below attached to the pictures, but everything was very tasty. The only thing I would skip if I returned and have any regrets about is the french onion soup. It’s only because I was so full that I had no room for dessert and because the way they prepared the top, it wound up being more of a cheesy puff pastry than soup, and it felt a little dry. It was good, but not great like the other things (the ravioli, the lamb, the charcuterie + cheese). As they had warned, the soup did come out first with the charcuterie, followed by the crab ravioli, and finally the lamb.

There was a slight time gap between some plates, which could be a problem if you’re worried about running out of stomach room.

Overall, this was a great option for dining. The American/California menu meant that there was a broad set of options. It was casual and delicious, and at a decent price considering we purchased a number of plates, cocktails, and glasses of wine. The service was attentive, the atmosphere lovely, and it positions you nicely to go see Wynn’s “Lake of Dreams” after!
