It’s finally summer and Revel is celebrating with two mouthwatering summer events: the Summer Grill Shack Menu and the Summer Wine Series at Quoin.

On the Revel deck, the Summer Grill Shack Menu—available nightly during dinner hours—features cuts of whole animals on the wood fired grill. The menu changes every two weeks, but for the next week or so, try Kid Goat from Anderson Farm (Oregon). $20 serves 2 (A good way to start), $27 serves 4 (Enough to go around), and $35 serves 6 (A whole lot). A veggie platter is also available for $10.

The Summer Wine Series is underway on the Quoin deck (Thursdays, 5-7 p.m.), with five tasty weeks to go. Enjoy small bites paired with excellent wines for $15.
