December 20, 2009 at 10:19 pm · Filed under Chef's Notes, Events, Menu, Restaurant
Join us for a New Year’s Eve to Remember!
Our 8th New Year’s Eve Celebration is just around the corner. This is the time we let our talented kitchen crew play a bit more and shine with a specially designed five course menu to sweetly kiss goodbye 2009 and make a warm welcome for the 2010.
This year, we are paying homage to one of the all time great Masters of the Classics – Julia Child. Featuring Julie (DiTursi that is) and (inspiration from) Julia, New Years Eve 2009 will be celebrated with a five course menu offering classic recipes created by this modern day epicurean pioneer. Think about crepes and baked Alaska – we are! Menu to come – we’re still reading, testing and tasting.
As tradition stands, this will be one seating only, December 31, 2009. Bubbly pours at 6:30pm. Five courses to follow. $60 per person. Space is limited. Call 603.679.8772 today for reservations.
