A majority of the restaurants featured on the award’s list are located at the same address. That’s because these restaurants are part of the fine dining offerings at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.
The resort and casino features a cellar of more than 5,000 bottles and more than 300 labels of wine, a spokesperson at Beau Rivage told McClatchy Media in a June 30 email.
“Sommelier Charlene Egan has curated wine lists for each restaurant that pair with the menus from four vastly different cuisines to create a sumptuous dining experience for our guests,” the spokesperson said.
The restaurants that made the awards list located at the resort and casino include the following:
- Coraline’s
