At Biga, we understand that there are two distinct ways to celebrate New Years Eve on the River Walk. Some like to have an intimate dinner and join their friends later in the evening for the stroke of midnight. Others prefer an evening where dinner is the main event and take a little more time enjoying their last bites of 2015.
That’s why we’re offering two ways to say goodbye to 2015.
For those with somewhere to be we offer an earlier seating from 5:30 to 7:30pm that will include 4 courses for $65.
Those who are seated 8:00pm and later will enjoy a 5 course dinner with live music, party hats & horns and a Champagne toast for $100.
The menu is not quite finalized but here’s how it is shaping up so far…
