Best Wineries in JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort

Celebrated wedding anniversary here. Many wine choices

Our first time, and it won’t be our last!! We moved from Chicago last year, and loved our higher end Italian restaurant (s) - it’s Chicago…so there are lots!! Amari definitely would fit in! The daily specials looked amazing! We started with Caesar’s Salad and Carpaccio. Both were excellent! There were four of us dining. We had : Lasagna, Boar Bolognese, Lobster Ravioli and chicken piccata. All were served beautifully and were sooo tasty!! For dessert we had 3 Tiramisu lol They have an extensive wine menu. We had a blended red and their house Sauvignon Blanc. This is NOT your local Olive Garden or Bucca….expect to pay for a high quality meal. I can’t wait to come back!

Reservation was for Christmas Eve and it was very delightful. They presented a smaller menu but enough variety to easily make choices. We shared their charcuterie board which was excellent. I asked for a particular wine which they didn’t have, but the server was knowledgeable and suggested an equal substitute. For main entree, I had Dover Sole. Nice presentation and although a little lemony, it was still delicious. This is a beautiful restaurant, especially during the day when you can enjoy the view of the lake. Highly recommend!

The level of food quality and consistency at this establishment is simply unmatched. You can go anywhere and get a good meal once, to come back again and again and see the established high quality standard that has been set in both the front and back of house is really refreshing. Since moving to Las Vegas about 15 months ago, my wife and I make a point to go here at least once a month. Their seasonal menu turns over every few months with a few staples never leaving. Their “Royale with cheese” is a top 5 burger in Las Vegas - period, the spicy garlic shrimp and their seasonal pasta dishes cannot be skipped. The food alone will make you come back but Kat and the entire front of house team set the standard in terms of making you feel welcome and at home in their restaurant.

Service was excellent and the ambience although crowded on an early Tuesday evening was festive. I am sorry though to see that televisions are on in the dining room. It really takes away from the bistro feeling. Our meals were good (ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parmesan with spinach, calamari, and warm goat cheese with pistachios), but the Branzino was so-so and the ahi tuna was almost inedible as it was fibrous and chewy. I would stick to the pasta and traditional dishes.
