Our Christmas Eve Traditions

If you’ve never joined us for Christmas Eve dinner, this is the year to start. We do holidays the Easy way: with chef-crafted dishes made from the freshest locally sourced ingredients, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and a menu designed to make you linger a little longer around the table. For those who already make us part of your holiday tradition, welcome back! Whether you’re here for our oysters, a perfectly cooked steak, or our signature cocktails, we look forward to serving up the flavors and hospitality you’ve come to know and love. This year, we’ll be taking Christmas Eve dinner reservations from 5 PM to 8 PM on Tuesday, December 24th. Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend reserving early to ensure you have a seat at the table.

A Menu to Celebrate

When it comes to the holidays, food is at the heart of every celebration. That’s why we pour extra thought and care into the dishes we serve on Christmas Eve.

Start the night with something fresh from our oyster bar, or warm up with a shared plate that’s made to bring the whole table together. From small plates to entrees, each dish highlights the best local ingredients of the season and the Southern and French influences that shape our cooking. And for those of you who like to end on a sweet note, we’ve got desserts that will make you wish the holidays lasted just a little longer.

And then, there’s the drinks. Whether you’re in the mood for a festive craft cocktail, a glass of wine, or something a little stronger from our whiskey selection, there’s something to raise a toast with this Christmas Eve.
