Executive Chef Pascal Lorange will create a four-course prix-fixe menu ($150*) highlighting the unique flavors from the French Riviera.

Guests are invited to celebrate at 6 p.m. with dishes from the à la carte menu or enjoy a $150 four-course, prix-fixe menu at 9 p.m. Vibrant décor will adorn the restaurant and music will be curated by St. Tropez‘s celebrity DJ Julien Nolan and DJ Thomas Toccafondi. From 9–11:30 p.m. a cocktail reception ($100) of wine, cocktails, and passed hor d’oeurves will commence in the lounge. Complimentary Champagne will be passed to guests leading up to the live balloon drop at midnight to kick off the New Year.
