“The location and setting of Rose & Thorn will allow us to showcase our unique twist on upscale handmade craft cocktails and homemade finished desserts, while the Longhouse boasts a more casual vibe with fresh sushi and seafood offerings. “We are proud to have been selected as two of the elite restaurants within Ilani,” Shawn Ellis, founder and CEO of Rose & Thorn and Longhouse, said in a prepared statement. Other restaurants made public so far include Chef Jet, as well as Tom’s Urban, Muze, Bar 360, VIP Lounge, and Food Market, which features Starbucks, Smashburger, Italia and more. When completed, the casino is expected to have 15 restaurants, bars and retail outlets. The casino, west of Interstate 5 at Exit 16, is being jointly developed by the Cowlitz Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut. While there’s still no word on whether patrons will find a buffet, they can expect to now choose from an array of options: steak, seafood, sushi and “upscale international street food.” Located on the Cowlitz Indian Reservation in north Clark County, the $510 million casino’s restaurant line-up will now include Rose & Thorn, a high-end bar and restaurant, and Longhouse, a raw bar, sushi and noodle shop. Just a few days after announcing the addition of Michael Jordan’s Steak House and Line & Lure Seafood Kitchen and Tap, the Ilani Casino Resort said Thursday it’s adding sushi and high-end cocktails to the menu. Clarification: In an earlier version, it was stated that Chef Jet was associated with Jet Tila, but a casino spokesperson said, “Chef Jet is a fast casual pan-Asian concept inspired by renowned Jet Tila who has been featured on the Food Network and has many locations nationwide.
