Holidays at the McNinch House

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

The McNinch House restaurant is like a purple jewel located in the heart of Uptown. The restaurant that is located in a violet Victorian house on Church Street is known for their exceptional food and service. The unique experience of dining at McNinch (the chef picks the entire menu and you pick your entree the week before your visit) can only be enjoyed sparingly by most though as their prix fixe menu runs quite the pretty penny.

The good news is that McNinch House is offering two new abbreviated prix fixe (and budget-conscious) menus for the holidays: a five-course Premier menu at $79 per person, and a four-course Bistro menu at $59 per person.

Seasonal favorites will be offered, including:

  • Burgundy and Spice-Marinated Loin of Vension over Butternut Squash Risotto, Braised Kale, and Shiitake-Port Reduction
  • Grateful Growers Tamworth Pork Osso Bucco with Truffled Stone-Ground Grits, Grilled Fennel, and Lemon-Olive Gremolata
