Now, I am pleased to bring you a sneak peek at not just the décor, not just a menu preview, but of the reason we are all here.the food.īut first, let me take you on a brief tour of this restaurant/bar/dance club/lounge. The dessert menu is the one place in the casino where you're guaranteed riches: our choice, espresso and cocoa nib crème brûlée, is the lightest option.A month ago I brought you an article about John Tunney’s latest creation, Ballo Italian Restaurant & Social Club. The list of wines by the bottle is extensive, by the glass, less so, especially if you want to pair a sparkling selection with secret-recipe fried chicken. And Fulton Fish Market Cioppino is a shellfish-loaded stew that celebrates American excess. Mussels and fries get an all-American makeover with green chile broth. Florida-style mahi mahi stays moist and firm thanks to its thin plantain coat. But honestly, Flay's fish dishes are the stars. If you're tempted by the buttery, spice-rubbed rib-eye, definitely go the 'surf' route to start. Stylish shellfish cocktails and other raw bar offerings from oysters to chilled half lobster compete with down-home appetizers like Gulf shrimp and grits. This bold, Modernist space with a warm orange glow has a decadent vibe, and even though tables for two or four and cozy banquettes for six are positioned quite close, each feels intimate. At Bar Americain at Mohegan Sun - one of two casino restaurants the celebrity chef masterminds - don't be surprised if even the spicy-sweet steak sauce, made with honey, Dijon, maple syrup and tongue-zinging horseradish, makes you want to lick the bowl.

Bobby Flay has done more than his share to elevate the status of American fare.
