"I'm ba-ack!"

Don't Miss Out On New Year's Eve! 

New Year's Eve is still 10 days away. Yet seating at the Rookery that evening already is more than half sold out. It's actually the most reservations for New Year's Eve we've ever had prior to Christmas. A true testament, we hope, to the growing reputation of our signature five course feast.

So PLEASE...don't delay if you're interested in joining us this New Year's Eve. Because it's looking to be entirely possible we won't be able to accommodate every last minute aspiring guest. 

Just as in years past the Rookery will be flying in fresh (meaning still live!) Maine lobster. And once again those tasty crustaceans not only will be a featured component of our surf and turf main course. They'll also serve the leading role in our special housemade lobster bisque, the incredible mouthwatering delight many guests tell us is what brings them back year after year. Plus Madeline Island guitar virtuoso Ric Gillman will be performing live at the Rookery throughout the evening. 

I mean, really...why would you wanna be anywhere else on New Year's Eve? Call NOW to be sure you don't miss out.

Revised Holiday Hours 

Previously it was announced the Rookery would be open EVERY evening during the holiday week BETWEEN Christmas and New Year's (despite normally being closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays during the winter). And that schedule still stands.

However, at the time of that earlier announcement we weren't yet sure whether the Rookery would be open on Christmas Eve. We're happy to report we've taken quite a few reservations for that evening in the meantime. So the Rookery most certainly WILL be open for dinner this coming Wednesday, December 24th (but please make reservations nonetheless). 

Now we're instead debating whether or not to be open on Christmas evening (Thursday, December 25). And just as we did for Christmas Eve we'll make that decision just a day or so in advance, based solely on whether we have sufficient advance reservations. So please call by this MONDAY if you'd be interested in joining us on Christmas evening. 

Give a Rookery Gift Card for the Holidays

The Rookery's custom gift cards make great holiday gifts. They can be used for either dining and drinks or toward the purchase of any of the stunning images in our Kristen Westlake nature photography gallery.

These credit-card-style gift cards can be issued in any amount, and any unused balance from a visit to the Rookery will remain on the card and available for use on a subsequent visit. Includes an attractive card holder with plenty of room for your personal greeting.
 
Stop by the Rookery to pick up a gift card (or several) any evening that we're open. Or call and we'll mail it directly to you or the lucky recipient (715-794-2062).
