The Wynn Taps a New Seafood Restaurant After Previous Plans Fall Through

The Lake of Dreams. | Barbara Kraft Plus, more karaoke and boba hit Chinatown and the southwest gets a new brewery After two big shake-ups, the Wynn Las Vegas has a new restaurant slated for the closed Lakeside space. In 2024, the seafood restaurant closed to make way for Michelin-awarded chef Fabio Trabocchi’s Fiola Mare. Those plans fell through, and now the resort will debut Pisces Bar and Seafare this spring. Executive Chef Martin Heierling will helm the forthcoming seafood restaurant. Most recently with the Nobel 33 hospitality group and restaurants like Toca Madera in Las Vegas, Heierling is designing a menu with caviar and crudo, seafood platters, fresh pasta, and fish dry-aged in-house. Located on the shore of the resort’s Lake of Dreams with its regular shows of dancing lights and a singing frog, the Lakeside space is getting a redesign of reflective mosaic floors, embroidered velvet walls, mirrored portholes, a seafood display, and an expansive bar. Wynn Las Vegas’ mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini will develop a Mediterranean-themed cocktail program and the resort’s executive pastry chef Jennifer Yee will spearhead the dessert menu.
