Get Ready for The Taste Trip of a Lifetime at Ocean Casino Resort 🍽️
Stephen Starr, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur extraordinaire, is giving Atlantic City a much-needed culinary boost! Starr's two mouthwatering concepts, Chez Frites, a tantalizing French dinner spot, and Sunny's, an irresistible American breakfast and lunch bistro, are set to open their doors on August 1.
According to Starr, these new dining destinations will bring a delightful blend of American and French cuisine to the resort, offering an unforgettable mix of comfort, tradition, and decadence.
Ocean Casino Resort, considered one of Atlantic City's luxury jewels, aims to attract more visitors to the New Jersey shore by diversifying its culinary landscape. By welcoming Starr into the fold, the resort is strengthening its appeal with a stellar culinary lineup.
Chez Frites and Sunny's will be housed on Ocean's 11th-floor lobby, near The Park— a lush, three-acre escape nestled among the resort's hustle and bustle. The partnership between Ocean and Starr Restaurants Group, which boasts around 30 restaurants across Philadelphia, New York, Washington, DC, South Florida, and Paris, is a clear testament to the resort's dedication to delivering exceptional gastronomic experiences.
