Opening on a Sunday evening to fill your bellies before you celebrate the new year.

Dear Feastlings,

We always make a special menu for New Year’s Eve.  Tired as we may be- so tired, in fact that our last seating will be at 9:00 so we can be safely tucked in by the time 2024 rolls into town- we’re opening the doors on a Sunday, despite the fact that we’ve been closed on Sundays for eight or nine months now.  Come Sunday, December 31st, we’ll serve a special prix fixe dinner, with or without wine pairings, alongside a few dishes from our regular menu, and send you off to ring in the new year wherever your plans take you.

We’ll begin service early for those of you who want to sleep through the banging of pots and pans and the odd bottle rocket, at 4:00 pm.  And we’ll finish up at 9:00 so as not to be responsible for anyone’s tipsy trip down Speedway.  You can make to your parties or your pillow by midnight, whatever your druthers.  From four to nine, though, the kitchen will be open and we’ll be serving this menu:
