The star of 2025 is “The Grinch’s Roast Beast Feast” at The Lazy Goat. The 16-oz prime rib is served with caramelized shallot whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts. New to the menu is the “Whoville Scallops,” served with Who Hash and a watercress Coulis that will have you scraping your Grinchy green plate.

My favorite bite from 2024 at The Jones Oyster Company is back: “Bumble’s Oyster Bliss.” Inspired by the Abominable Snow Monster, this is Oyster Rockefeller as a dip, served with parmesan-dusted pretzel sticks, and it was just as good as I remembered. Joining the lineup here is a cozy bowl of “Yukon Cornelius Golden Bisque,” and a deliciously spiced “With Your Nose So Bright... Bread Pudding.”
Don’t forget the drinks, with specialty mocktails and cocktails available, too.
