There's more than a touch of metaphorical significance to Mizumi haven taking over the space formerly occupied by Okada in the Wynn - something about sweeping away bad vibes from that whole Steve Wynn-Kazuo Okada mogul bromance gone sour. Mizumi's covered up that era with a décor that calls to mind the boudoir of a glam geisha, equal parts fantasia and restraint. That's also an apt description of the Seafood inaniwa pasta, a standout dish on Executive Chef Devin Hashimoto's menu. The seafood elements (scallops, king crab, octopus) and uni butter sauce scream pure decadence, but the light touch and delicate inaniwa noodles - offset by lime and the tonic of shiso - make this pasta dish a Zen study in savory balance.

The 16th annual Desert Companion Restaurant Awards

Dec 01, 2012

  Downtown upstarts with fresh moves and fine-dining citadels on the Strip upending their own traditions — 2012 was a year of surprises, mashups and fertile chaos. The gastropub dished up a remix of the artisanal and casual; desserts refused their status as sweet epilogues and rushed the stage; and Vegas culinary institutions strove anew not to just meet a standard, but to forge a new one.
