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.

Revel Looking for $100 Million to Get Through 2013

Posted by Foobooz on August 21st, 2012

Revel Resorts opened in Atlantic City this past April to great fanfare but it hasn’t produced results where they count most, the gambling floor. The casino has ranked eighth each month in gambling revenue since its opening. The casino is to double its revolving credit to $100 million in order to give it more flexibility through 2013.

With average daily room rates of $211, the hotel occupancy rate of 45 is way below the industry average of 87 percent. Revel spokesman Joseph Jaffoni says that group meetings and food and beverage sales have been strengths. Reassuring, considering the culinary fire power assembled.

If the casino, which has been hyped as a game changer in Atlantic City doesn’t extend its credit, it could be looking at bankruptcy.

Jose Garces Openings At Revel In Atlantic City

Posted by Jason Sheehan on March 28th, 2012

Opening one new restaurant is tough. Opening two? That’s crazy. But Jose Garces (who, I think, must have access to both a jet pack and a time machine what with his sudden explosion of interstate restaurant openings) will, come April, be opening three new restaurants, in Atlantic City, all within 14 days.

Then, when he’s done, he’s going to ride his bike from A.C. to Paris, fight Mike Tyson and eat the entire moon in a single sitting.

Revel Rolls Out Three From Chef Michel Richard

Posted by Jason Sheehan on February 15th, 2012

The so-new-it-ain’t-even-open-yet Revel resort and casino in Atlantic City is certainly not being shy in building up its restaurant arm. The developers appear to be on some kind of obsessive buying spree–bringing in crazy-good and nationally-known chefs from all over the country and offering them spaces at the new property. Thus far we have reported that Alain Allegretti will be in the house (with his Azure by Allegretti), as will Stefano Chiaruga (Lugo Caffe), Robert Wiedmaier (Mussel Bar), Marc Forgione (American Cut) and Jose Garces (with versions of Amada, Village Whiskey and Distrito).

And now, it has just been announced that chef Michel Richard will be hitting the beach with three concepts of his own: O Bistro and Wine Bar, The Breakfast Room and an A.C. outlet of his award-winning Central Michel Richard.
