BORDER GRILL OPENS ALL-NEW LAS VEGAS LOCATION INSIDE THE FORUM SHOPS AT CAESARS
Border Grill, the second Vegas location from Chef/Owners Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger of Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters” and Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales,” is now open daily for lunch and dinner inside The Forum Shops at Caesars. Located on the first floor and adjacent to the distinctive spiraling escalator, the stylish new restaurant encompasses an open floor plan including an indoor patio that flows into the cantina lounge, a dynamic ceviche bar, demonstration kitchen, private dining room and bar.
Featuring a vibrant, modern design, the all-new Border Grill offers a warm, inviting atmosphere peppered with woodcarvings and colorful murals. The ornate décor, including the rusted steel patina, orange and red tiles, purple lighting fixtures and graphic light boxes, makes this the perfect setting for sipping handcrafted cocktails and savoring the bold flavors of Mexico.
Guests can indulge in an impressive selection of the restaurant’s critically acclaimed, modern Mexican cuisine, as well as a variety of new dishes created for this location. Highlights include lighter fare such as Roasted Cauliflower (aioli, crispy kale, puffed quinoa and piquillo); Black Bean & Corn Esquite Salad; Yucca Fritas (cilantro mojo and horseradish dipping sauce); and delicious main courses such as Hibiscus Glazed Duck Breast (marcona almond mole, heirloom carrot duo and ancho powder) and Chile Rubbed Ribeye (ancho steak sauce, roasted serrano, tomato, purple peruvian potato, and garlic confit), just to name a few.
The addition of the open kitchen provides a lively interactive component, where guests can view hand-rolled tortillas cooking on the comal and guacamole being freshly mashed. This eye-catching space features an array of ceviche offerings and rotating signature specials.
“We’re excited to offer a variety of fresh, sustainable seafood from our new ceviche and oyster bar, inspired by the flavors from our first trip to Veracruz where we tasted the most incredible ceviche,” says Susan Feniger.
Designed to elevate and complement the overall experience, Border Grill features two full service bars with an extensive selection of margaritas, imported and domestic beers, as well as an array of fine wines. Adding to the restaurant’s award-winning margaritas, guests can imbibe in newly created signature cocktails with housemade infusions and fresh squeezed juices including Jalisco Burro (corralejo reposado, ancho reyes chile liqueur, fresh lime and ginger beer); Piña Verde (pineapple & mint infused herradura silver, fresh lime, green tabasco, and agave nectar) and much more.
Border Grill inside The Forum Shops at Caesars is open seven days a week, Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. For reservations or additional information, please call (702) 854-6700 or visit www.bordergrill.com.
