Lazaroff used the works of numerous American artisans and craftsmen in the creation of this unique award-winning setting near the Pacific.



Pioneering Las Vegas Fine Dining





In 1993, Wolfgang and Barbara entered the casual dining arena with the opening of a series of whimsical Wolfgang Puck Cafes. This full-service casual dining concept is dedicated to providing high-quality food at affordable prices. Here, Wolfgang combines an eclectic menu featuring his wood-fired pizzas, specialty salads, pastas and other signature dishes with Barbara's design of boldly colored mosaic tile and dramatic custom-designed lighting and furniture.
