Since the casino opened eight months ago, Everett said, he and Gill have focused on understanding their guests and trying to cater to their dining needs and preferences.
Gill develops many weekly dinner specials, one of which is the recipe he shared for a rustic sausage pasta dish. “We also rely on a lot of Maine classics,” such as Maine lobster mac and cheese and grilled Maine salmon (both $16.95), and a traditional Maine lobster roll, available for $14.95. Easy to make and quite pretty to look at, the lettuce wraps at the restaurant make a simple, delightful lunch for $9.95. Gill shared the Oxford Bar & Grill’s recipe for one of its many interesting appetizers, lettuce wraps, which are filled with a chicken mixture and given a light, oriental twist. He said he brings a Southwestern twist (check out the mesquite chicken salad, nachos or quesadillas) while Everett’s background lends itself more to an Asian flair (fresh rolls made with Napa cabbage, cellophane noodles and shrimp, topped with cilantro and a sweet chili sauce, or spicy hot noodles with tofu, chicken and vegetables). Gill called the menu “American fusion,” meaning an eclectic blend of several culinary influences.
