"After nearly two decades, Alex Seidel has just announced his New American flagship in the Country Club neighborhood will be closing in mid-January — which means a New Year’s Eve spent here will be all the more memorable. The five-course meal, priced at $175 per person, includes such elegant fare as grilled, chilled yellowtail with soy puree (and optional caviar); chestnut agnolotti in root vegetable veloute with black truffle; and coffee- and cacao-rubbed, bacon-wrapped bison loin with pimenton-spiced sunchoke and fennel. (Note that Fruition’s Union Station sibling, Mercantile Dining & Provision, will also be open for business from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. when a la carte specials like mussel toast with caviar and lobster ravioli will be making the rounds.)" - Ruth Tobias
