If you'd like the inside scoop on this restaurant -- complete with tidbits like where to get the best seat, where to park and how to dress -- please read on.
Reservations
Reservations are recommended and can be made by clicking the "Make a Reservation" Icon below, or by calling the restaurant directly. Alternatively, the restaurant does accept walk-ins.
Seating
Seating is primarily in light caramel-colored armless leather chairs. Banquettes overlooking the atrium are upholstered in brown textured leather with a striped upholstered back, while those in the main dining room aligning the glass wall are completely upholstered and provide less "distraction" from the movement of Crystals. Chairs are 19 inches at their widest point. There are higher low-backed chairs at the bar and at tables near it, as well as comfortable cream-colored couches and armless form-fitting chairs in the lounge area. Chairs in the private dining room are the same as the chairs in the main dining room.
Atmosphere
Music plays throughout at the dining room at Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria & Cucina, where privacy is plentiful at generous 36-inch-by-36-inch tables as well as pseudo booths that are 52 inches by 30 inches. Our favorite spot was at a booth overlooking Crystals' retail area, as it provided just the right amount of privacy and comfort. Service was completely seamless. Our server, Brandon, was wonderful and gave us a full description of each item we ordered once it was served, including some little known secrets about the dishes. He even offered to escort us to the restroom so we wouldn't get lost. Additionally, Matt Dickerson, a Wolfgang Puck veteran, is an amazing manager who makes the dining room work like clockwork; he makes it look effortless, although we are sure it is not! There are many different atmospheres at the restaurant. There's a table overlooking the retail shops and ever-changing artwork, which is separated from the three-story atrium by glass screens. Or there's a table or seat at the bar, cocktails in the lounge or a table farther back in the main dining room, away from the hustle of the retail. There's even a private dining option. Whatever mood you are in -- fun and fanciful or quiet and reserved -- Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria & Cucina can cater to it. Whether you have a large group of friends or want to dine alone, Puck's got a table that suits your needs.
Restrooms
Restrooms are located inside the restaurant, with same-level access.
