Dining in Atlantic City- The Borgata

The Borgata in Atlantic City is a great hotel with both the original Borgata & the Newer Water Club.
It has many great dining choices. There is the Old Homestead- the second of this venue- the first is over 100 years old in Soho. A huge "scene" at the bar, but good steaks.
There is also Wolfgang Puck - also very good (he happens to be one of my favorite chefs) Fornelletto- good Italian food but extremely noisy and usually quite crowded , Bobby Flay who used to be on of my favorites but after meeting him after years of following him on the Food Network, and all his shows, I finally met him at the Wine & Food Show in South Beach last year & he was the LEAST friendly chef there. But, I do still like his restaurant at the Borgata, while I am not a huge fan of his NYC places. Then, there is Seablue- a Michael Mina dining experience.
Wonderful. He has many other places, as you will see in my older posts, and this place is consistently excellent.
Do try & go there if you are ever in AC. as it is well worth the trip! SO fabulous. The lobster pot pie is huge and just sensational and although try t make it a rule never to order the same thing each time I go to a place I love, I couldn't help myself- the dover sole coated in phyllo flakes that resemble panko bread crumbs, garnished served with leaves of brussel sprouts and topped with crabmeat atop a potato puree. OMG!
