When Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati General Manager Kevin Kline went before city council’s strategic growth committee, he said the third restaurant at the downtown casino will be announced in the next 30 days.

Jennifer Kulczycki, spokeswoman for the casino, said she didn’t have a timeline for the restaurant’s opening. She did say the restaurant would fill the final space in the casino, which is located next to the cube entrance, across from Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Right now, the space is walled off.

Just like Margaritaville, the new restaurant will have doors from the casino and an exterior entrance so you won’t have to come inside the casino to dine there.

But what kind of restaurant will fill the space? Taking a look at some other Horseshoe Casino locations, here are a couple concepts that might be a good fit for Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati:

• Four Winds – an upscale Chinese restaurant concept at Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City, La. The average check here is $26 per person. This restaurant serves cuisine from five regions in Asia: Cantonese, Mandarin, Szechwan, Vietnamese and Thai. Menu items range from hot & sour soup to wok-fried Maine lobster

• Legends – At Horseshoe Casino in Southern Indiana, this casual venue serves American cuisine, such as prime rib and fried portabella mushrooms. The average check here is $14 per person. The restaurant also includes a dance floor, full bar and a martini bar.

I think the Four Winds concepts would fit well at Cincinnati’s casino. It offers a different type of cuisine than any of the other restaurants at the site. And it would tie in with the casino’s Asian Gaming Room.

What do you think? Would you be excited to try either of these restaurants? Would you rather have something unique to Cincinnati?
