The Hotel Charlotte is offering fall specials in the restaurant on Thursday and Sunday nights through the first week of January and some great holiday menus for the coming festive season. We hope you will join us for one or all of these!

Thursday Nights: Gift Certificate Redemption Night
Join us for dinner on Thursdays, use a gift certificate and we will add another 5% to the value of your gift certificate. (no cash back, just value off your dinner ticket total) Valid Thursdays through 1/4/2009.

Sunday Nights: Courses of Course! & Clear the Cellar Night                Valid through 1/4/2009
We are offering a 3-course dinner of soup or house salad, a 5oz bacon wrapped filet mignon & homemade ice-cream, coffee or tea for $19.95. Add a bottle of wine from our select vintages from $15, (the price of a bottle of house wine and only while supplies last) We have a few great wines in small quantities to share so we can make room for new vintages. The list will change weekly

Thanksgiving weekend: This year our family holiday visiting schedule has been adjusted and we will be open the weekend of Thanksgiving, but not on Thanksgiving itself. This is a change from prior years when we would close for the whole weekend. We look forward to welcoming you and your out-of-town guests!

Christmas Dinner: Since Christmas falls on a Thursday this year, we will be open for dinner, 5:30 to 8:30. We leave Christmas Eve to our staff to enjoy their families and hope to serve you and your families on Christmas night after all the festivities have wrapped up for the day. (Other than us, who really wants to cook again that day?) We will serve from our regular menu and regular prices with a couple of specials, perhaps something like lobster, king crab legs or venison rack.

New Year's Eve Menu: Consider joining us for the early seatings, starting from 5:30 pm on Wednesday, December 31st. Perfect for those who like the party, but not the late hour of Midnight. The menu choices are:

   Lobster bisque or wilted spinach and blue cheese salad
