"A forthcoming Vegas restaurant from MasterChef Season 7 winner Shaun O’Neale will open next month at Panorama Towers, offering modern American cuisine that marries seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with international flavors. Standout dishes include a Baja kampachi crudo with a citrusy rocoto pepper marinade, avocado, oregano, chili oil, and micro cilantro; a mafaldine pasta made with Las Vegas–raised pork and Lady Goose ’nduja; and Key lime pie beignets dusted with speculoos cookie sugar and served with a vanilla bean diplomat cream. The beverage program—crafted by mixologist and former Survivor: Samoa contestant Benjamin Browning—aims to make the bar as much a destination as the dining room, featuring cocktails such as a smoky bourbon with angostura and vanilla‑clove syrup, a gin drink built on an orange and white tea‑infused oleo saccharum, and a vodka cocktail called “yoga pants” with celery juice, orgeat, lime, and serrano chile. The team is renovating the high‑ceilinged, brick‑laden space into bright whites and neutral beiges with mid‑century modern wood furniture, adds a dog‑friendly outdoor patio, and will open nightly for dinner at 5 p.m., closing at midnight Sunday–Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday–Saturday." - Valerie Silva
