Every day that goes by is another day closer to spring, and Revel, the gorgeous, curvaceous glass fortress housing a new hotel and casino at the tippy-top of Atlantic City's boardwalk, isn't wasting any time letting people know what to expect from its dining portfolio. Within the past couple months, they've announced three concepts from our very own Jose Garces (Amada, Village Whiskey, Distrito Cantina); a steakhouse by Michelin-starred New York chef Mark Forgione; Mussel Bar, an outpost of Robert Wiedmaiere's "Belgian roadhouse" in DC; and the French Riviera-inspired Azure by Allegretti from Alain Allegretti, who operates Les Promenade des Anglais in NYC. Eat your heart out, Nuck.
The casino has tapped Manhattan again for its seventh restaurant (of 14!), a branch of the bustling Midtown brasserie, Lugo Caffe. Chef Stefano Chiaruga will be making his own mozzarella and firing Neapolitan pizzas in a brick oven, cornerstones of menu at this grand, gilded, ocean-view space, the kind of place we could see Angela Darmody waiting tables back the in day, if she didn't get ... you know.
Revel will soft-open April 2, eight weeks before the casinotel's formal debut on Memorial Day weekend. Online reservations for the 1900 hotel rooms will open up March 5. Set your alarms.
