Every week, we give you a detailed calendar of upcoming dining events to help you navigate the weekend’s culinary festivities. With the New Year looming large, we’re dedicating this week’s edition to restaurants with special New Year’s Eve offerings to give you a truly Atlantan way to toast the future.
PACES 88
The St. Regis Atlanta’s
Paces 88 has two (and two halves) prix fixe dining options for the special day.
A $65 four-course tasting menu runs from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Then an $125
eight-course tasting menu runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with the option to add
wine pairings for six of the courses for an additional $75. Starting at 7 p.m.,
patrons can head to The Wine Room and the hotel’s bar for a $50 cover, which’ll
get them appetizers and a breakfast—if they choose to stay till 1 a.m. And the backdrop
to all the money-dropping will be live entertainment in the hotel’s Long
Gallery.
SHAUN'S
Inman Park’s Shaun’s has an
a la carte menu of the restaurant’s signatures, along with a gourmet tasting
menu for $50. Stick around till midnight, and get a complimentary champagne
toast—plus party favors.
BLT STEAK
W Atlanta-Downtown’s BLT
Steak has two prix fixe dinners, with mostly overlapping menus. The
four-course, $65 option starts at 5:30 p.m. and involves oysters, jumbo
scallops, pistachio-crusted venison, and chestnut-honey ice cream. The
five-course, $95 version begins at 8 p.m. and entails cauliflower mousse,
frog legs soup, lobster cannelloni, roasted pheasant, and mimosa sorbet. And
afterwards, you can stick around for the hotel’s $100 evening, entailing
performances by Angie Aparo and Michael Tolcher plus DJ Rod Summers. The bar
will be open from 9 p.m. until midnight, when guests will get a complimentary
Veuve Clicquot champagne toast.

Twelve will have menu offerings from breakfast through dinner along with
balloons, noisemakers, and a champagne toast at midnight.

noisemakers, a balloon drop, and all the other trappings of New Year’s will
