From December 9th through December 23rd, amidst all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, chef Eric Brennan will be adding a special seasonal lunch menu to the docket at Excelsior. The upstairs dining room, with its bird’s eye view of the public garden, is the perfect spot for end-of-the-year business luncheons or for a rejuvenating bite to eat for weary Newbury St. shoppers. The three-course prix fixe menu features dishes like pan seared foie gras with pear-golden raisin compote and gingerbread melba, grilled lobster salad sandwich with red cabbage slaw and kettle chips; and classic crème brulee. Check back for more information about pricing but in the meantime, make reservations (which are required) by calling 617.426.7878.
