Dishes include Tournedos Rossini — a prime fillet of beef with a hearty winter truffle sauce — and steamed fish accompanied by baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and artichokes.
For the more traditional, there’s the chestnut-stuffed roasted turkey, served with cranberry sauce and gravy, with sides of Brussels sprouts, heirloom carrots, and sweet potatoes.
