New restaurants are popping up all over. Bravo!, sister Italian restaurant to the popular Brio Tuscan Grille, celebrates its grand opening at the Galleria at Sunset on May 28. Therapy, an American gastro-lounge featuring cuisine by former Comme Ça executive chef Daniel Ontiveros, is set to open in the always bustling Fremont East Entertainment District in June. Down the street, the El Cortez is almost ready to debut its new 24-hour eatery Siegel’s 1941 in the space formerly occupied by the Flame Steakhouse. Also planned for a June arrival is Downtown Summerlin’s Public School 702, a 14,000-square-foot gastropub.

The Venetian and Palazzo resorts bring back Carnival of Cuisine on June 5 starting at 6 p.m. at Palazzo’s pool, a scrumptious showcase of restaurants such as Aquaknox, B&B Burger & Beer, B&B Ristorante, Bouchon, Buddy V’s, Carlo’s Bakery, Carnevino, DB Brasserie, Lagasse’s Stadium, Lavo, Otto Pizzeria, Public House, Table 10, Tao, Yardbird and Zine Noodles & Dim Sum. A special visit by Mario Batali is in the works, too. Tickets start at $100 and can be had by calling 702-414-9000.

The venerable Andre’s at Monte Carlo has introduced a new spring menu, but the real surprise is that the classical French fine-dining room is incorporating $10 small plates into the mix. Those dishes include smoked salmon parfait with cucumber dill salad, grilled lamb sausage with curry slaw, and pork rillette with sweet pepper relish. Andre’s still offers five- and seven-course tasting menus, and the new seasonal offerings also include a brand-new selection of desserts from pastry chef Tammy Alana, like blackberry and blueberry almond tart or a Neapolitan Napoleon.

Speaking of small plates, some of the delectable offerings of Julian Serrano’s new Lago are now available next door at Hyde from 5 to 10 p.m. So you can lounge and/or party in the most delicious way with bites like cipolline e speck, three-cheese formaggi and ricotta cheese, chocolate and orange cannolis, among other options.
