Mizumi
$ $ $Wynn’s gorgeous Japanese restaurant, which recently underwent an extensive renovation, resonates with different people for different reasons.
Restaurateurs Crystina Nguyen and Joe Muscaglione are among those who come here for the intimate teppanyaki room, where communal table grilling is taken to a new level of elegance. Food writers Rob Kachelriess and Phil Tzeng both chose it as a perfect date night spot. And then there’s the view of Wynn’s manmade lake and waterfall, which enraptures chef/restaurateur Nina Manchev, as well as Tzeng. “Mizumi's outdoor gardens, koi pond and waterfall (make this) a spot I love taking out-of-towners,” says Tzeng.
In keeping with the restaurant’s broad appeal, it offers an expansive menu that combines several types of Japanese cuisine. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi, sashimi, tempura, robata, noodles, soups or steak, there’s has a dish for you. There’s even a full page of vegetarian options. And there’s no telling what their new head Chef Jeff Ramsey, an acclaimed sushi chef who has also worked with Spanish master Jose Andres, has planned next.
For the ultimate Mizumi experience, ask about an omakase tasting menu on the outdoor floating pagoda in the center of the lagoon.
