Diving Horse’s Opening Menu for 2013

Posted by Sam Bloch on May 20th, 2013

On Wednesday we told you that Avalon BYOB The Diving Horse is opening for the season on Tuesday, May 21. Well, now we have a sneak peek of what the menu will be like for Memorial Day weekend. And with the praise given to Fitler Dining Room, interest in the Pub & Kitchen crew’s third restaurant is sure to heat up. Dishes like oysters on the half shell, chilled carrot soup, cape may scallops, and soft shell crab make The Diving Horse a good option for one of the first meals of your summer.

Pure Tacos at 1935 Chestnut Street is closing on Tuesday, May 7th after ten months in business. The gluten-free taqueria also had a seasonal location in Ocean City, New Jersey that will not be returning this year.

Chestnut Street has not been kind to Mexican spots as El Fuego, Moe’s Southwestern and now Pure Tacos have all closed. Of course there are still south-of-the-border options in Qdoba and El Rey.

Revel might be in bankruptcy but the troubled Atlantic City casino is still battling. The resort is considering reversing its no smoking policy and is implementing other changes to widen its appeal.

One of those modifications will involve chef Jose Garces. Garces, who has three restaurants at the resort (Distrito, Village Whiskey and Amada) is now looking to open a new Asian noodle and dim sum concept.

Garces Group is hiring for the restaurant and is currently looking for an executive sous chef with experience in Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The noodle bar will replace the former Plancha Bar. No word on an opening date.

Paesano’s Is Heading to Margate

Posted by Foobooz on April 19th, 2013

paesano_arista Paesano’s recently posted a job listing on Foobooz, looking for a counter/sandwich maker “for at least one more shop opening in the next couple weeks.” Paesano’s general manager Nate Baynes tells us that the sandwich shop is definitely looking to expand this summer and will “most likely” operate out of Jerry Blavat’s Memories night club in Margate. They are of course aiming to open in time for Memorial Day but there are details to iron out.

One idea is to be open 24-hours a day to cater to people at the Atlantic City casinos.

Chef Vola’s Stands Strong Through Sandy

Posted by Amanda Shulman on November 2nd, 2012

While Sandy only nicked Philadelphia, the storm did some serious damage in Atlantic City and across the Jersey coastline. And while you may be concerned about whether some of your favorite spots are still standing, we’ve got some news on one spot that would have been severely missed. AC’s beloved Chef Vola’s, which was awarded a James Beard Award as an American Classic, is alive and raring to go. Their answering machine message claims that they will be attempting to open tonight, an announcement that will be met with glee from the restaurant’s many regulars who make pilgrimages to the subterranean restaurant.

The family-run restaurant operates out of a basement of a house, just a half-block in from the Boardwalk. The hidden spot has been open since 1921, does not advertise and doesn’t even list its phone number (though Google reveals all). Reservations are required for this Italian BYOB and regulars are are treated like family.

The Press of Atlantic City has more information on the recovery of Jersey Shore restaurants after Hurricane Sandy.
