Red Owl Tavern

Red Owl is doing Christmas brunch right, serving festive morning fare from 8 am to 2 pm on December 25. Meals include pumpkin pie waffles, loaded hash browns, wild mushroom toast, and plenty more, plus you can make it a mimosa brunch for $22 and add a bottle of sparkling wine with your choice of orange or cranberry juice.

Red Owl, located in the Hotel Kimpton Monaco, will offer a $65 per person Thanksgiving meal that starts with turkey, BBQ grilled salmon, scallops, Amish roasted chicken, and more as entree options. Garlic mashed potatoes and other savory sides will round out your meal, and you can kick things off with pierogies or a “local cheese of the day,” so it’s hard to argue with that.
