Boom Bang Fine Food & Cocktails
A dream team of culinary powerhouses—Bravo Top Chef alum and Joel Robuchon’s first female sous chef Elia Aboumrad-Page, prominent L.A. restaurateur and chef Christian Page, and local food and beverage specialist Tony Angotti—is behind this Henderson favorite. In this kitchen, American cuisine gets a French twist to craft plates like the wild and cultivated mushrooms tart (with goat cheese mousse and verjus) and the sole meunière (with potato puree, brown butter, capers, lemon and parsley). Then, go out with a (boom) bang with desserts like the Red Velvet Mad’ Bomb—warm red velvet madeleines a la mode with rose water glaze. Weekend brunch is also on offer for the Saturday and Sunday crowd.
A fiesta awaits at this Day of the Dead-themed cantina that’s flowing with cervezas, tequila and specialty cocktails. Indulge in tacos wrapped in from-scratch tortillas brimming with rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked short ribs and tasty Baja fish.
