New Year’s Eve Chef’s Tasting Menu
December 30 & 31, 2020
Is it 2021 yet?
Like the rest of this very unexpected year, we’ve shifted our traditional New Year’s Eve celebration a bit. In order to accommodate the 10 p.m. mandate for restaurant closings and limited seating due to COVID restrictions, Chef Michael Smith will offer an extraordinary five-course tasting menu with choices for each course, paired with Nancy Smith’s exceptional optional wine pairing (full menu not available).
Five Course Chef’s Tasting Menu $125 per person ++
Optional Wine Pairing $60
Bar opens at 4 p.m.
Seating times between 5-8:30.
Due to restrictions, our last seating will be at 8:30 p.m. to ensure guests finish by the 10 p.m. mandate.
Reserve now!
