Holidays at The Ashby · 2026

Four dinners between now and New Year's.

A Champagne dinner with the importer at the table, and the three nights of the year people plan around. Each one seats once, and the dining room is not large.

Thanksgiving Dinner

$125 per personSeatings 11:30am to 5:30pmPlus tax and gratuity

Three courses with several choices at each, including a traditional turkey for the people at your table who would riot without one. Seatings run from late morning through the afternoon, so you can make it lunch or make it the whole day. This one books out every year, and every year we hear from people who meant to call sooner.

Five courses with Champagne through the whole meal, and Hugh Beaulieu of Elite Wines at the table to pour and talk. We are seating twenty guests, and no more, so the evening stays small.

Make a night of it

Ten rooms, and no drive home.

Every one of these dinners is better when nobody at the table is counting drinks or watching the clock. There are ten rooms upstairs, all different, most with working fireplaces.

Rooms on these dates go first. Mention your dinner reservation when you book and we will seat you and settle you on the same night.
