Cocktail Recipes Below
DALLAS, TX. December 9, 2010 –Christmas Eve Dinner at Fearing’s Restaurant is scheduled to be a very special celebration, as a nostalgic three-course menu, a takeaway box of cookies just for Santa, and two new cocktail options for the big kids will be offered from 5 to 10 p.m. on December 24.
In homage to the cherished holidays of his childhood, Dean Fearing has added his family-recipe crown roast of beef to a special holiday menu, as each course presents a choice of dishes designed to bring back memories of holiday dishes and ingredients of yore. Capping off the dinner, Fearing’s will present each table with a holiday gift of “Cookies for Santa”, in hopes that the evening’s dining experience can be shared with late-night visitors from the North Pole
