“Not your average Japanese”, Michael Schulson’s “hip” spot in the AC Borgata Hotel offers “fresh” sushi, “interesting” robatayaki and “creative” small plates, plus “beats that can’t be beat”, in a “sexy environment" - Zagat
Celebrity chef Michael Schulson will bring his modern Japanese fare to Hollywood, Florida with the opening of Monkitail late spring. Schulson's menu is a contemporary take on the classic izakaya, featuring sharable small plates and sushi as well as an array of specialty cocktails and saké. An open robatayaki kitchen sits at the heart of the restaurant, a 15-seat sushi bar and a private dining area overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Tucked away beyond the main dining room is discreet karaoke bar offering tunes, cocktails and signature dishes late into the night.
Since opening in 2007 Osteria has become one of the country’s most critically acclaimed Italian restaurants, earning Chef Jeff Michaud the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for “Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic” for his work helming the kitchen. Michaud's classic take on Italian cuisine presented the perfect addition to Schulson Collective with Osteria's award-winning menu of antipasti, homemade pastas, house-cured salumi, authentic Neapolitan and Roman-style pizzas, wood-grilled meats, seafood and decadent desserts.
