Last New Year’s Eve, I enjoyed a decadent wine-pairing dinner at Andrea Restaurant at Pelican Hill Resort, followed by a NYE countdown in the Great Room with dancing and champagne.
This year promises to be more sedate but no less delicious, thanks to local restaurants that are offering fabulous takeout dinners for New Year’s Eve.
The selections range from sushi to surf & turf to Hawaiian, but don’t wait orders must be placed in advance for pickup on New Year’s Eve.
Sushi Roku: Sushi Roku in Fashion Island is offering “New Year’s Eve In A Box” for two that includes G.H. Mumm Champagne with two glasses, Edamame, Shishito Japanese Peppers, Prime Ribeye Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans (option to upgrade to A5 Wagyu Steak), Sushi (Tuna, Yellowtail & Salmon), and Specialty Rolls (Baked Crab, Tuna Jalapeno & White Lotus). Each box includes celebration hats and noisemakers. Each box serves two and is priced at $160. You can upgrade
