Festive Menus That Spark Joy

Christmas Cheer & The Feast of the Seven Fishes Christmas Eve at The Sea Fire Grill is nothing short of a culinary voyage. Honoring the Italian-American tradition of the "Feast of the Seven Fishes," this four-course spectacle features a parade of oceanic treasures. Think Bruschetta Caviar, Lobster Squid Ink Spaghetti, and Nova Scotia Halibut—each dish a tribute to the bounty of the sea.

For Christmas Day, diners at all Benjamin locations can revel in a seasonal showcase of culinary craftsmanship. Savor dishes like Lobster Bisque, Filet Mignon, and the ever-iconic NY Cheesecake. Families with children can also attend the beloved Santa Brunch (held on December 15 from 1-5 PM) where Santa and Mrs. Claus make a magical appearance, complete with complimentary keepsake photos.

New Year’s Eve Elegance Ring in 2025 with grandeur. New Year’s Eve menus across Benjamin’s locations spotlight lavish specialties, from Scottish Salmon to Lobster Squid Ink Spaghetti. Toast to the new year with a glass of Champagne—or perhaps a sip of the iconic Azure Daydream cocktail (more on that below).
