[title type="h6"]Commander's Palace[/title]
Commander's Palace takes a different tack with its Reveillon menu. Instead of emphasizing the bargain prices typical of Reveillon menus, it cuts loose with the first-class ingredients and unusual presentations. This year, this program exceeded previous years, with eight courses going for $110--the most expensive Reveillon menu ever. Somebody had to do it, and why not this long-time leader in the local haute cuisine world?
This dinner is similar to the Chef's Playground option offered nightly at Commander's, and to the four lucky people who dine at the chef's table every evening.
Eight courses, $110
