Mat & Naddie's
Mat & Naddie's, despite its seemingly frivolous premises and name, is in deadly earnest when it comes to its food. The Reveillon menu they present this year is one of the two or three most offbeat in what has been a Reveillon season full of innovations. And Mat & Naddie's price is among the lowest. Note: they're open for dinner on Monday nights, but not Tuesday or Wednesday.
Four courses, $44.

FULL REVIEW
All the Reveillon menus can be perused here. We'll feature one every day throughout the Reveillon season, which runs in most of the Reveillon restaurants until December 31.The snowflake ratings are for the Reveillon menu, not the restaurant in general. Dishes marked with the snowflake symbol ✽ are my recommendations.
