New Year's Eve at Cafe Estelle

Since chef Marshall Green cut dinner service from his sun-washed Cafe Estelle (444 N. Fourth St.) two years ago, chances to eat in this bacon-scented solarium after 5 p.m. have been few and far between. Which is why, when Green's rare prix-fixe dinners, like the one he's hosting on New Year's Eve, come along, we lunge for the phone like its the last slice of pizza. Passed hors d'oeuvres will float through the restaurant to kick off seatings at 6 and 9 p.m., followed by five cold-weather courses like Portuguese stew and truffled cannelloni. Sign us up for the spiced bison tenderloin with Brussels sprouts, the entree for the $65 first seating (salmon available for fish-eaters). The second seating, $75, includes a Champagne toast for $75. Call the restaurant for reservations. Full menu after the jump.

- New Jersey Fluke crudo, pickled baby vegetables, caviar

- "Portuguese Fish Stew": Pureed kale soup, olive oil poached salt cod, fingerling potato, oven dried tomato, linguiça sausage, crispy garlic

- Truffled Mushroom Cannelloni, Melted leeks, ricotta cheese, mushroom essence

- Winter Spiced Bison Tenderloin, Turnip and horseradish puree, roasted Brussels sprouts, Red wine Demi glace

- Chocolate Ganache Tart & Blue Cheese | Cheesecake With bacon caramel
