are opening our second american Cut location

in Manhattan’s tribeca neighborhood this

summer. it’s not only thrilling for the brand,

but i think it will prove to be a pretty powerful

connector between our new york and atlantic

City customers.

our second summer at Revel promises to be a

good one. our chefs have been working hard

to fine-tune their menus with signature dishes

and new creations, while our bar staff has been

crafting seasonal cocktails and selecting wines

that pair best with the chefs’ cuisine. We have

the sun, the ocean, and views—but most of all,

we have the passion and desire to share la dolce

vita with our guests. — John Meadow

“Revel is a phenomenal property and both John and i really worked hard last year to have each of our restaurants become part of the local community. the entire LDV team is ready for a high-energy second summer here at Revel.” —Curt Huegel

With any new project, there is always that initial

launch excitement. and then over the course of

the first year, it’s up to you to define your identity

and connect to your loyal customer base. the

biggest sign of a real success is that people

keep coming back—not only on weekends but

on weeknights as well. it’s been one year in at

Revel, and we feel extremely comfortable with

where we are operationally and from a guest

standpoint. azure by allegretti, american

Cut, and Lugo are all in a great spot. Hurricane

sandy was devastating, as we all know, and we

were very concerned going into the new year.

But the overwhelming response we’ve seen so

far in 2013 points to our restaurants as being

well-received. each of the different dining

experiences we offer have really resonated

with our guests. it has been amazing to watch

american Cut and azure turn into full-blown

destination spots, frequented by regulars from

the local community and guests driving in from

Margate and philadelphia. they are coming to

celebrate in our dining rooms as well as enjoy

all the other amenities and experiences that

Revel has to offer.

We are also excited about moving Lugo to a

new location with a full view of the ocean, right

off the casino floor. and given the opportunity

to expand, we are opening a fourth venue at

Revel: Corso Coffee—a coffee bar concept that

we launched earlier this year at the paramount

Hotel in times square. and on that note, we

LuGo: RooM WitH a VieW

BeHinD tHe BaR: CLassiC anD autHentiC

Lugo offers its guests the greatest opportunity to engage in an authentic italian aperitivo before dinner—and given its view, there isn’t a better setting in which to enjoy one. Xavier Mariezcurrena, LDV beverage director at Revel Resorts, points out that Lugo’s convivial atmosphere pushes the cocktail program in a classic direction.

For starters, Lugo is a really fun environment. it sets a busy market scene, with the open kitchen and the mozzarella and burrata bar that leads into the dining room. it’s the most approachable restaurant in terms of its overall

IngReDIenTS

1 each onion, small dice

2 tbsp blended oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1 lb ground veal

2 eggs

1/4 cup whole milk

1 cup parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, fine

2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chopped parsley

1 tsp chopped basil

1 tsp chopped thyme

in a medium sauté pan, sweat onion in oil on low to medium heat until translucent. add garlic and cook to light brown. Remove from heat and cool down.

in a large mixing bowl, mix all remaining ingredients by hand for 2 minutes. portion out 6-ounce balls, roll tight, and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes. serve with pomodoro sauce and garnish with grated parmigiano-Reggiano.

“Lugo was designed to be a bright, airy experience. It now has a full view of the ocean, with all this amazing natural light. We feel confident that Lugo will be an even better restaurant because of this new dynamic location. It suddenly

becomes a little sexier, trendier, and relevant overall for the true Italian dining experience during the day or a night out. Always with the same great food offerings.” —John Meadow

appeal and has really become a meeting hub for people who are headed out to a concert or evening event. it’s a piazza in the sense that it offers something for everyone. you have the classic well-done, well-executed italian food that definitely keeps true to its roots with a little nod toward an italian-american style. and in keeping with the food, the cocktails tend to be classic as well.

one of my favorite italian spirits is Campari, with its distinctive crimson coloring. We use it in a negroni—which is not only a favorite with cocktail enthusiasts but also the quintessential drink for italians in general. Bright and refreshing with a really nice bitterness, a negroni is equal parts gin, vermouth, and

Campari. the perfect way to start off any meal!

We’ve also created an excellent amaretto sour at Lugo, where we infuse the amaretto into bourbon citrus and use fresh lime instead of a sour mix. it’s very clean and bright and a less sugary version of what you would normally get.

Given that Lugo serves food all night, it’s perfect for everything from grabbing a pizza to getting a great plate of salumi. We also have a really fun draught beer selection and an excellent wine list that has universal appeal.

TOMaTO Sauce

1 yellow onion, finely chopped

2 oz chopped garlic

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cup basil, finely chopped

6 ripe tomatoes, quartered

12 oz can of Roma tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

MeThOD

Cook the onion and garlic in oil until both are light brown. add 1/2 cup basil and the ripe tomatoes and cook for 30 minutes. then add the Roma tomatoes and cook an additional 45 minutes. add 1 cup basil and salt and pepper to taste. pour sauce into a food mill, food processor, or juicer until desired texture.

Chef alain allegretti established and has maintained the azure credo from the very beginning: “Keep it authentic, keep it simple, and let the quality of the ingredients and the originality of the dishes speak for themselves.” in addition to its fresh whole fish, azure’s daily tasting menu offers the chef’s signature dishes in keeping with seasonality—from his seafood risotto to his crusted rack of lamb. “azure represents a certain lifestyle that we presented to guests coming to atlantic City

“Azure was our most ambitious restaurant concept: bringing the dream of St. Tropez and the Mediterranean to the Jersey Shore; serving guests whole

fish and a big magnum of rosé. It’s very rewarding to see what we deemed our

biggest challenge come to fruition in such a big way.”

—John Meadow

and they accepted,” says allegretti. “the dining experience is much like one you would have on the French Riviera—it’s about a sense of hospitality, good friends, good music, a good vibe, the right lighting, and the ability to enjoy authentic, simple cuisine in an upscale setting. We are really delighted that azure has turned into this amazing big-night-out experience for the local community as well as for surrounding towns.”

BeHinD tHe BaR: LiGHt anD BRiGHt

azure is the perfect setting to enjoy the world through rose-colored glasses—of rosé wine and Champagne, of course—as if you were sitting in one of those picturesque French or italian Riviera villages along the sea. LDV Beverage Director at Revel Resorts Xavier Mariezcurrena’s approach to the wine list is definitely influenced by azure’s gorgeous dining room. “azure evokes that feeling of hanging out on a patio and enjoying an excellent meal,” he describes. “there is also a spirited scene, depending on the night—

especially if there’s a great DJ in town. it takes on a more festive tone with a mix of beautiful, sophisticated people. the room’s color scheme—the vibrant blues and stonework—and the music all set the tone.”

While the beverage side of azure is driven by wine, it is also cocktail friendly, though it tends to be more fruit-forward, staying on the lighter and fresher side. “the pear Drop is a great example of what azure represents,” says Mariezcurrena. “a riff on the classic lemon drop, we use a Grey Goose La poire pear-flavored vodka instead of gin. it’s clean and refreshing and has a beautiful floral nose.”

tropical libations are inspired by the setting—especially in the summertime, as the sun hovers over the ocean in a perpetual afternoon. azure’s version of the Dark and stormy with Gosling’s Black seal Rum, fresh lime, and spicy ginger beer—a classic Caribbean cocktail—definitely makes that connection. “the rum and lime lends itself to that free-spirited feel that really works well here.”

Chill the lobsters for about 7 minutes then remove from the water bath. Boil the knuckles and claws in the court bouillon for 8 minutes and chill in the ice bath. Crack the claws with the lobster cracker and remove the meat, making sure to remove

Chef Marc Forgionea M e R i C a n C u t: M a K i n G i ts M a RC“as a newcomer to atlantic City, we really listened to what people had to say in the opening months. Because making my guests happy makes me happy,” says Chef Marc Forgione. “american Cut is the perfect place to come and unwind, and blow off a little steam. that’s exactly what this city is all about. our guests want to have a little fun!”

american Cut is the perfect example of combining fine-dining service in a fine-dining atmosphere while keeping the soul of an old-school steakhouse intact. “i really believe that the service, the music, and the design elements that we offer help us stand out,” explains Forgione. “and then, of course, there’s our secret weapon: the food.

signature steakhouse dishes as shrimp cocktails and Caesar salad, but once you’ve tasted ours, you’ll see why they are so special. and we’ve definitely made a name for ourselves with the hot and cold seafood towers and our succulent veal porterhouse.” a sweet spot for Forgione is the cheesecake, which he claims is one of the best he’s ever had!

BeHinD tHe BaR: DaRK anD seXy

“american Cut is appealing on all levels. By embracing a edgier, darker side, not so clubby and classic in presentation, and playing off Chef Forgione’s rock ’n’ roll attitude, you end up with a sexy, Gotham-like atmosphere,” explains Xavier Mariezcurrena, LDV beverage director at Revel Resorts. “it’s a grand setting where you go to essentially revel in your own success. it’s a celebration.”

Keeping that in mind, Mariezcurrena developed a cocktail program to reflect a lot of the classics, but with an edge—based on either the ingredients or the style of preparation. “a perfect summer cocktail is the purple Haze. it’s a riff off a gimlet as well as a really

classic cocktail called the Clover Club. We substitute blackberries for the raspberries and add a little jalapeño syrup to give it some kick in another dimension of spice.” as a pairing, Chef Forgione recommends the grilled Black pig Meat Co. bacon with charred-onion vinaigrette.

Keeping it fresh and clean for summer is always a good idea, especially when you add a heavier steakhouse meal into the equation. “Many of our dishes pair beautifully with our citrus-driven, smoky-bourbon-inflected, and fruit-forward cocktails,” adds Chef Forgione. Mariezcurrena also recommends the Ziggy stardust, a take on another classic cocktail, the French 75, which pairs well with the spicy chili lobster. its combines Grey Goose La

poire pear-flavored vodka, fresh lemon, and Domaine Chandon Blanc de noirs, a sparkling wine from California. “it’s fun, it’s feminine, and it sparkles.”

american Cut also showcases a lot of american whiskeys and bourbons. “i find it fascinating to watch our generation transition from drinking Dewar’s on the rocks and listening to Frank sinatra to sipping a quality scotch while enjoying the stones and Led Zeppelin,” muses Forgione. to that end, he recommends the Beast of Bourbon, a take on the classic Manhattan, to pair with the toasty, caramelized flavors of his steaks finished in a wood-burning oven.

“the concept behind the cocktail is that it opens up your palate and awakens your appetite,” explains LDV Beverage Director at Revel Resorts Xavier Mariezcurrena, a certified sommelier who has spent years in the industry in operations as well as beverage positions. “the reason you find a lot of cocktails with citrus notes or acidity in them is because when

you drink something acidic, it causes you to salivate, which in turn creates that feeling of hunger.”

unlike a bottle of wine, where you are relegated to the specific flavors of the grape, cocktails are more versatile because you can build them the same way you do any recipe. “so you can definitely drink cocktails during a meal, because you can pair almost anything

as long as it complements a component of the dish—like, for example, a sauce, which usually drives the flavor profile,” Mariezcurrena continues. “something spicy that normally might be too overpowering for a red wine could go really well with a high-acid cocktail, or one with a sweet or fruity edge to it. in that sense, cocktails are extremely playful.”

While Gennaro is quick to tout iced coffee drinks as a summer favorite, he points out that there is so much more you can do besides simply adding ice. Gennaro takes 3 shots of espresso, shakes it up with ice and whipped cream, and tops it with a little liquid chocolate. “By giving your iced coffee drink a little more body, you enhance the taste without it being watered down. plus it’s refreshing—much like eating a granita!”

to MaKe

shake 3 shots espresso with ice and whipped cream. add a liquid chocolate and enjoy!

Gennaro oliva of LDV imports translated his passion for the bean into the first Corso Coffee, located in the paramount Hotel in times square. Corso Coffee’s second location at Revel, in addition to a large kiosk that greets guests as they head off the main lobby of the resort, is only the beginning. after spending a year cultivating the wholesale business, Gennaro intends to introduce the Corso Coffee bar culture to coffee aficionados everywhere. But piano, piano—slowly, slowly—Gennaro would insist.

in italian, corso means a place of gathering—more specifically, a wide boulevard of street-lined cafés bustling with people drinking coffee at their leisure. and while Gennaro is eager to bring that scenario to Revel, he tempers the

italian experience: “We want it to be a place for everyone. sure, it’s an italian name and concept. But the most important idea to get across is that when you come here, you feel at home.“

With the Corso Coffee brand recognition building, a retail store will make the connection that much stronger. Gennaro also sees it as an opportunity to give away as much of their knowledge as possible to clients and customers alike: “on the wholesale side, through the store, we can show our clients how to use the equipment we have in place, manage quality control, and train their staff. and for our customers, it’s important for us to explain to them where the coffee comes from, how we brew it and at what temperature, and why we recommend certain ways to drink it.”
