Natirar’s Ninety Acres restaurant and Cooking School offer a delectable December

11/30/2016

Peapack-Gladstone, N.J. – Nov. 30, 2016 – The holidays are always a festive and joyous affair at Natirar. Nestled on a 500-acre estate in New Jersey’s bucolic equestrian country – just one hour from New York City and 90 minutes from Philadelphia – the resort’s award-winning Ninety Acres restaurant and Cooking School will wrap up the year with a bit of holiday magic and a full calendar of culinary celebrations.

Holiday Entertaining
Guests will find lush holiday trimmings a plenty at Ninety Acres. These include boxwoods, ilex berry bushes and pinecones sourced fresh from Natirar’s estate. The stunning setting is rivaled only by the quality of the dining experience.

Christmas Eve dinner at Ninety Acres will include three delectable courses served with family-style side dishes. The vision of Executive Chef David C. Felton, the holiday menu is designed to blend luxury with approachability. Many late fall vegetables, herbs and winter squashes are sourced directly from the bounties of the 12-acre Farm at Natirar which also serves as a picturesque backdrop to the restaurant. Held from 4 to 8 p.m., the Christmas Eve feast is $85 per person ($25 for children up to age 12).

Guests can bid adieu to 2016 in high style during New Year’s Eve celebrations at Natirar. From 5 to 6:30 p.m., Ninety Acres will offer a four-course prix fixe dinner with a glass of champagne. Dancing shoes are recommended for Natirar’s second dinner event. Held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the four-course prix fixe menu will include the choice of wine or beer pairings. Thereafter, there will be various interactive dessert, cognac and bourbon stations, and live music by The Brynn Stanley Band. An open bar, champagne toast at midnight and party favors will cap off the year’s grand finale.

To make a reservation, call 908-901-4701.
