Enjoy the Holidays With Wonderful Meals at a Louisville Landmark!

The Brown Hotel wants to make the last week of 2007 a memorable one for its guests. The four-diamond English Grill will be open on Christmas day and New Year’s Eve, serving special menus created by executive chef Laurent Géroli and his culinary team.

This year’s Christmas meal will certainly be special as chef Geroli prepares entrees such as Sautéed Yellow Tail Snapper, Veal Medallion, and Braised Lamb Shank to accompany the amazing appetizer buffet and dessert table. Appetizers will include Oyster Soup, Grilled Asparagus, Smoked Salmon along with many other choices. Among the desserts to be served are Mini Tiramisu, Cassis Mousse and several other sweet choices. There will be early seating times at 12:30, 12:45 and 1 p.m. The later dinner seating will be at 3:30, 3:45 and 4 p.m. The cost of this Christmas Day dining event is $55 per guest plus tax and gratuity.

If the last night of the year is spent in Louisville, it should be spent at a city landmark. Chef Geroli will serve five magnificent courses during three seatings on New Year’s Eve including entrée choices like Seared Opakapaka Hawaiian Snapper, Roasted Duckling and Seared Filet Mignon of Beef. This New Year’s celebration comes complete with party favors and a midnight champagne toast. Dinner music will be provided by pianist John Linton from 7 to10 p.m. Guests can dance the rest of the night away to the sounds of the John Linton Jazz trio, who will play until 1 a.m. Dinner seating is at 7:30, 8 and 8:30 p.m. The cost is $135 per person and includes tax and gratuity.

For guests who opt not to drive home this evening, the Brown Hotel is offering a variety of special room packages with or without dinner. Prices for these New Year’s accommodations range from $299 to $565.
