Reveillon @ Muriel's

 

Muriel's

Muriel's on Jackson Square rises to every special occasion with highly-alluring seasonal menus. Their Reveillon is a particularly good example of this. Chef Erik Veney--who is back at Muriel's after a long stint at the now-extinct Stella!--reaches into the market for what's good and matches the weather. Here is the only venison dish to show up for this year's Reveillon. The four courses at $48 constitute a good deal even by Reveillon standards.

Four courses, $48.

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.
