>Rockville New Year’s Eve Guide
December 31, 2007
When you search for a place to celebrate New Year’s Eve, most events are elsewhere. But thanks to our new Rockville Town Center, we now have a few close by alternatives. My advice is to call to check the details and availability.
To Ring in the New Year in Town Center:
Austin Grill Rockville is free to get in New Year’s Eve (and every other night!). Never a cover charge at all the Austin Grills. Jonny and the Stingrays will be playing their blues roots and rock. PLUS, they’ll be celebrating New Year’s TWICE – once at midnight and then again at 1 AM when it’s midnight in Austin. Double the fun! They’ll have $20.08 food specials all day and night, including Crab Cakes, Bacon-wrapped Grilled Shrimp, and the Austin Mixed Grill, which includes a 6 oz ribeye, a 4 oz pork loin, and a marinated portabella mushroom. On New Year’s Day they will be serving up their hardy tex mex brunch. 301-838-4281
Gordon Biersch says that they will have a special deal at $80 per person. There will be a buffet of appetizers and sandwiches, plus all the beer and wine you would like. Champagne at midnight is included, plus a goody bag and “morning” type drinks after midnight. Call and check for details and reservations, because I know you can never get in this brew restaurant. It will no doubt be extremely popular on such a special night! 301-340-7159
Sushi Damo will have a prefixe menu, champagne, dancing, and the Time Square broadcast on a plasma screen. They will be open until 1 am. 301-340-8010
Stonefish Grill will have live jazz entertainment with the X Factor starting at 9 PM. They are taking reservations on a first come basis for $150 per couple with a complimentary bottle of wine on the table – either Esperto Pinot Grigio,Delle Venezie,Italy or Beringer Merlot Founders Estate, California. Choice of Lobster Bisque or Sweet Corn Chowder; then entrée choice of Parmesan Crusted Sole with Lemon Butter Sauce and Capers or Grilled Sea Scallops with Garlic Brocolli and Aromatic Basmati rice, or Tandoori with Spinach Fettucini in a Vodka Cream Sauce, then for dessert either Raspberry White Chocolate Cheese Brulee or a Fruit cup. 301-315-5888
Dinner Only:
La Tasca welcomes you to celebrate New Year’s Eve Spanish Style with a Gala Dinner. Reservations are being accepted from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM. For $39 per person (tax and gratuity not included) you can enjoy an unlimited tapas dinner off a special menu. 301-279-7011
On Rockville Pike:
Tour Grill will be having a party with live music (the best from Ocean City) and a special four course dinner for $55 per person (with a wine pairing $75 per person). 301-770-3312
Please drink responsibly, stop for all those red lights, and stay safe into the New Year! If you have a suggestion for New Year’s Eve, leave it in Comments.
