Restaurant Week Returns to AC
Three restaurants within some of AC’s top venues offer lavish prix-fixes.
February 27, 2013
Celebrating everything culinary, Atlantic City welcomes the fifth annual Restaurant Week from March 3 to March 9. Seventy-nine of the shore’s most popular restaurants will be offering prix-fixe menus starting at $33.13 for dinner and $15.13 for lunch. Here are three of our favorites.
The Quarter at Tropicana
Located in The Quarter at Tropicana, The Palm Atlantic City will offer diners a choice of seven entrees from their carefully curated prix-fixe lunch menu. Dig into the Nova Scotia lobster BLT, jumbo lump crab cake sandwich, and “A Spin on a Philly Classic”—a USDA Prime New York sirloin steak sandwich with roasted peppers and onions in a sour cream horseradish sauce. Or, visit the restaurant during dinner hours for standouts like the Burgundy wine braised beef brisket and lobster bisque. For a different dessert, order the root beer float and cookies, a combination of Harp’s root beer, warm chocolate chip cookies, and vanilla ice cream in a rich chocolate sauce. For reservations, call the restaurant at 609-344-7256. 2801 Pacific Ave., Atlantic City
Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City
At The Steakhouse within Harrah’s Resort, enjoy appetizers like a California roll, Steakhouse chowder, or sumptuous salads. For entrees, the award-winning eatery will feature meaty mains like a 10-ounce NY steak plated with roasted cipollini onions and crimini mushrooms, and a Frenched chicken breast in a port wine demi sauce with mushroom duxelle stuffing, served alongside five-grain rice. Meanwhile, pescetarians should look forward to barramundi served with arugula risotto in Riesling butter sauce. No matter what you choose, cap your dinner off with a dessert like crème brulee, lemon meringue tart, or the NY-style cheesecake. For reservations, call The Steakhouse at 609-441-5575. 777 Harrah’s Blvd., Atlantic City
Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa
The Borgata's Wolfgang Puck American Grille will showcase its signature contemporary American cuisine in the restaurant week dishes. Some notables include honey crisp apple salad, market vegetable minestrone soup, pan-roasted Atlantic salmon, and a red wine braised beef short rib complete with sweet pepper romesco and Parmesan polenta. Finish your meal off with either the warm melting chocolate truffle cake or the 15-layer carrot cake with ginger ice cream.
