About PISCES Bar and Seafare

PISCES Bar and Seafare has become one of the most talked-about tables at Wynn Las Vegas, and the setting alone explains why. The restaurant sits along the edge of the Lake of Dreams, so almost every seat, from the bi-level dining room to the outdoor terrace, faces the water instead of a wall. That positioning turns dinner into something closer to a scene: a 90-foot waterfall on one side, the nightly lake show on the other, and the Strip’s energy humming just past the doors. It’s an unusual combination for a seafood restaurant, part European coastline, part Las Vegas spectacle, and PISCES leans into both halves rather than picking one.

The kitchen is run by Executive Chef Martin Heierling, who spent more than two decades training and cooking in five-star kitchens around the world before landing here. His approach is stripped down on purpose: source well, then get out of the ingredient’s way. That philosophy shows up most clearly in the dry-aged fish program, a technique still rare in American seafood houses. Aging concentrates the fish’s flavor and firms up its texture, and dishes like the Grilled Orata Seabream and the Salt-Baked Loup de Mer, the latter often cracked open tableside, are built specifically to showcase it.

Beyond the dry-aged program, the menu moves across the Mediterranean rather than staying in one country. Groups tend to gravitate toward the seafood towers, which scale from the modest Voyage up to the Siren’s Offering, a platter loaded with oysters, clams, mussels, Oishii shrimp, lobster, king crab, and Kaluga royal caviar. The Paella alla Pisces, built on spiny lobster, calamari, and saffron rice, is the strongest nod to Spain on the menu, while the Lobster Spaghettini balances rich shellfish against fennel and tomato. Non-seafood eaters aren’t an afterthought either; the Grilled Lamb Chops with harissa chili crisp and the Chicken Shawarma Paillard both hold their own against the fish-forward dishes around them.

The drink program deserves equal billing. Master Mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini built the cocktail list around Spain’s “Gintonica” bar culture, oversized gin and tonics served in balloon glasses and dressed with fresh botanicals. The Sirena, made with strawberry lemongrass vodka, passionfruit, and clarified Greek yogurt, and the Sun Sign, a pink guava margarita with Aleppo chili, are both designed to cut through the saltier, spicier dishes on the menu rather than compete with them.

Wynn’s design team handled the interior, and it reads as intentional at every step: a velvet-lined rotunda with ebony wood leads into a room saturated in deep blue, bronze, and copper, anchored by a bar fixture made of 400 hand-blown Murano glass orbs. It’s a lot of room to fill, and PISCES fills it without feeling like it’s trying too hard, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. It’s easily one of the stronger additions to the city’s growing lineup of Las Vegas seafood restaurants.

Know Before You Go

PISCES Bar and Seafare sits inside Wynn Las Vegas, so parking follows the resort’s standard structure: valet at the main entrance or self-parking in the Wynn/Encore garage, both connected to the casino floor by a short walk that leads straight past the Lake of Dreams. If you’re staying elsewhere on the Strip, budget a little extra time getting through Wynn’s floor, since it’s not a quick cut-through property.

Reservations are worth locking in ahead of time, especially for a table with a direct lake view during one of the nightly shows. Walk-ins have a shot at the bar, which opens earlier than the dining room and is a good option if you just want to sample the Gintonica cocktails and a seafood tower without committing to a full dinner. The restaurant leans into resort casual, so collared shirts and closed-toe shoes are a safer bet than beachwear, particularly for evening seating.

If the dry-aged program is the draw, ask your server what’s currently available. It’s a limited, rotating selection rather than a fixed offering, and the tableside preparation on dishes like the Salt-Baked Loup de Mer takes a few extra minutes, so factor that into your timing if you’re working around a show or another reservation. Large groups should look hard at the seafood towers; they’re built for sharing and tend to be the better value than ordering several individual entrées. As with most Wynn outlets, the bar service means the room skims toward an adult crowd in the evening, though the dining room itself welcomes families earlier in the night.
