Now gone, the big, dark statue personified the restaurant Botero, the dinner-only steakhouse that has given way to its polar opposite, the light, bright Jardin. The new three-meal-daily eatery overlooks the Encore pool, and its very name, French for "garden," evokes warmth. "I don't design to theme. But the name of the restaurant says it all: It's about gardens in all the beauty they present. Our job is to connect the inside to the outside and vice versa," explains Roger Thomas, Executive Vice President of Design for Wynn Design and Development. "The dining room was completely refurnished with cabinets specifically selected for Jardin and used to separate the space into more intimate dining areas while maintaining the focus of the view on the beautiful garden party The bright, fresh new décor and dishes in Jardin transform the restaurant into a light-filled centerpiece for Wynn's colorful gardens. by Larry Olmsted The Fleur chocolate cake at Jardin tells the restaurant's story in layered dark chocolate mousse and moist chocolate cake in a chocolate "flower pot."
