Ellis Island's New Year's Eve celebration brings together their signature brewery atmosphere with an elevated dining experience in The Front Yard, their outdoor venue. The fixed-price dinner menu starts with complimentary bread and butter, followed by your choice of starters like winter mesclun salad, shrimp cocktail, or mortadella and olives. For the main course, you can choose between roasted lamb chops, beef tenderloin, or broiled salmon, with dessert options including chocolate marquise mousse, black forest cake, or vanilla napoleon.

After dinner, The Front Yard transforms into a party space with a DJ keeping the energy up as midnight approaches. The celebration includes a champagne toast to ring in the new year, letting guests transition seamlessly from dinner to dancing under the stars. It's the kind of New Year's Eve setup that works whether you're looking for an intimate dinner or want to stay late and celebrate - all in the comfortable, unpretentious vibe that Ellis Island has maintained for over five decades.
