#NYE with Stanford Kitchen

The last few weeks of the year are rushing past us—and the big finale is almost here. New Year’s Eve is getting closer and closer… and is it just us or did it get here way too fast this time around?

Wrapping up the year is stressful enough, so let us take care of every detail of the big night. Stanford Kitchen is planning New Year’s Eve, so you can spend time and energy on your loved ones.

Is New Year’s your night for a distinctive three-course meal and wine with friends? Or just a quiet table for two? Start with our Crab Cake Salad—blue crab dressed with fresh grapefruit and champagne vinaigrette—and classic House Salad, with Adobe dressing, goat cheese, spiced pecans, and cornbread croutons over a bed of crisp greens and veggies.

The big night calls for a special dinner—try our Wood-Fired Rotisserie Chicken, super-slow-roasted and served with mashed potatoes and green beans, or our signature Barbeque Pork Ribs, cooked patiently so it’s falling off the bone, with a side of French fries and rich, tangy coleslaw. Our Seared Ahi Tuna is topped with aromatic ponzu; our ten-ounce Prime Rib is served with a smear of horseradish sauce; and our nine-ounce Grilled Filet Mignon is drizzled with Cabernet sauce.

Accompany or end your meal with one of our hand-selected wines, whether you’re in the mood for a glass of our light, fresh Fleur de Mer rosé or a La Crema Pinot Noir from California’s Sonoma Coast. Or stick with the classics, like a flute of Vueve Cliquot—it is New Year’s Eve, after all!

We at Stanford Kitchen wish everyone in our extended family a great night and very happy new year. We hope to welcome you back soon in 2019!

Ring in the new year at Stanford Grill

Gather the family and friends for a relaxed evening of catching up, reconnecting, and toasting the future over an unforgettable meal—join us at Stanford Grill on New Year’s Eve.

Make a toast to everyone at the table and cherish these opportunities to spend time together with a glass of something memorable—whether the crowd is more Domaine Ste. Michelle, Rosé or Grgich Hills’ “Fume Blanc,” Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Or maybe New Year’s is more of a cocktail kind of evening for your crowd: our fruit-and-flower-infused Mandarin Blossom, Elite Margarita, or Peartini will brighten up any winter evening.

Get the party started with our Fiesta Eggrolls, Chicken Meatballs, Tower of Onion Rings, and Spinach Artichoke Dip for the table. The main course should be as special as the occasion: make your last meal of the year our Danish Barbecue Pork Ribs, Hardwood Grilled Salmon served with our house-made Chef’s dressing and fresh, herby tabbouleh salad, Lamb Shank drizzled with our balsamic and red wine sauce, or Hickory Grilled Filet with our Cabernet sauce. Order a Lobster or Bacon Mac & Cheese for the table, too 🙂

No meal is complete without dessert, and tonight calls for something distinguished. Our classic Ice Cream Sundae, rich, light Key Lime Pie, or warm, comforting Bread Pudding is a taste of indulgence to wrap up the big night.

Want to get a head start on your New Year’s resolution for healthier eating? Indulge in our Seared Ahi Tuna Salad and fresh sushi: Yellowtail Jalapeño Roll, Nigiri Sushi Plate, Rainbow Roll with Coconut Shrimp, or Spicy Tuna Roll. Finish with a light, sweet treat of Seasonal Sorbet.

When you’ve had a little too much fun, join us for brunch on New Year’s Day!

Happy new year from all of us at Stanford Grill!

Ring in 2019 at Copper Canyon Grill!

What are you doing on New Year’s Eve this year? Join us for a great evening of fun, friends, family, and fantastic food at Copper Canyon Grill!

The big night calls for a special toast to start the evening off right and keep everyone in celebration mode: our extensive wine lists boasts everything from outstanding sparkling wine and champagnes, like Napa Valley’s Mumm Napa Brut Prestige and Laluca Prosecco, to crisp white wines, such as Columbia Valley’s Château Ste. Michelle Riesling, to Belle Glos’s “Clark & Telephone” Pinot Noir from the Sante Maria Valley. Is everyone in the group more of a cocktail mood tonight? Our refined Fleur de Lis features Belvedere Vodka and Elderflower Liqueur, while our Hemingway’s Daiquiri is a throwback to summer with Bacardi Light Rum, maraschino cherry liquor, fresh lime and grapefruit juices, and simple syrup.

Get dinner started right by ordering for the table: our Coca Cola Ribs, Tuna Sashimi, Fiesta Eggrolls, and Spinach Artichoke Dip get the party started on the first course. Our Wood Grilled Steak Salad, Shrimp & Grits, Prime Rib, Warm Beet Wedge salad, Fresh Fish of the Day, and classic “Stanford” Cheeseburger keep the party going! We also offer a full gluten-free menu and veggie option to keep everyone at the table happy 🙂

Want to make it official and be a guest at your own event? Let us do the heavy lifting and host your private party for 20 or more guests on the big night (or any other night!).

Stanford Kitchen #BlueRidgeMoments

The Thanksgiving season is a special time to connect with family and loved ones and take the time to sit around the table. We’re excited to carve out some time with friends too, before the family rush takes over. We want to hear about your favorite memories of getting together at Stanford Kitchen this year. Show us some of your #BlueRidgeMoments in 2018. And maybe the best is yet to come—get everyone together for Friendsgiving this time around. We’ll do the cooking so you can spend time all together.

It’s no secret that Thanksgiving is all about the sides. We’re offering up everything from our fresh Seasonal Vegetables to creamy Orzo Rice and Mashed Potatoes, deliciously addictive French Fries, tart and herby Tabbouleh, and our famously irresistible Bacon, Mac & Cheese. Get an order (or two) for the table!

You’ll probably be getting enough servings of turkey on the big day, so Friendsgiving is your chance to try something new and exciting on this casual get-together, like our Barbeque Pork Ribs, served with french fries and coleslaw; or our Crab Cake Salad, Grilled Filet Mignon and Seasonal Vegetables, or Wild Mushroom Meatloaf. Any special diets to keep in mind in the group? We’ve got everyone covered with delicious alternatives like our Veggie Burger or Chopped Veggie Salad, so everyone can relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Show us your best photos at Stanford Kitchen, whether it’s your big Date Night, Friendsgiving, family brunch, or favorite dish that you make a special trip to enjoy. Share your #BlueRidgeMoments and don’t forget to leave a little room for dessert!

The Stanford Grill #BlueRidgeMoments

It’s that cozy time of year—the days are shorter and evenings by the fireplace are stretching out longer and longer, but the rush of the holidays still hasn’t started yet. It’s a good time to take a moment and reflect on how grateful we are to everyone in our ever-expanding Blue Ridge family. We’re starting to look back at our favorite memories at The Stanford Grill this year, and we want to hear about yours, too!

What was your favorite meal you enjoyed with us this year? Wood Grilled Steak Salad with a side of Lobster Mac & Cheese? Our world-renowned Danish Barbeque Pork Ribs with Iron Skillet Cornbread and Seasonal Vegetables? There’s no better way to share a meal than around the table with a few friends and a trying a bite off their plates.

Have you tried our Crab Benedict or Roasted Pear Stuffed French Toast on a lazy Sunday morning brunch with the family? Maybe you had a late night craving for our Ice Cream Sundae or indulged in our Bread Pudding and a Cappuccino on a never-ending afternoon…

Was this the year you decided to prioritize healthy eating, and indulged in our gluten-free Rotisserie Chicken Salad, Hardwood Grilled Salmon, or Spicy Tuna Roll?

Did you come in looking for a quiet evening and ended up raising your Uptown Old Fashioned or Elite Margarita to toast friends new and old?

Tell us—and show us—about your favorite #BlueRidgeMoments of 2018 here, here, or here. We love seeing our guests enjoy themselves and spend quality time together (or alone!) in our dining room. We’ll be sharing the submission highlights in the season ahead.
