Chef Tim Grandinetti is one of those guys who loves Christmas: the tree, the gifts, the lights and, naturally, the food. This time of year, it takes over his whole personality.

“For me, spending uber-quality time with my family and friends, enjoying the Holiday Season is absolutely the best!” he says. “I encourage you to be intentional regarding celebrating the holidays this year with those you love.”

This year, he and the Spring House family have transformed the old 1920s downtown residence into a spectacular celebration of the season that will take us into 2023.

First up is the 12 Days of Christmas, a different prix fixe three-course dinner over a dozen nights between Dec. 3-23 — no dinner service on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

The lineup is superb, and also evocative of those dishes we love at this time of year: seafood fettucine, filet mignon, lobster tails, even Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie, with a smoked Gouda-potato crust. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake is unforgettable.

Then, to continue the holiday season, Chef Grandinetti pulls out all the stops for a celebratory five-course tasting menu that’s an evening of entertainment unto itself.

Appetizers range from the timeless shrimp cocktail with Texas Pete Voodoo Sauce to porkbelly grits and corn-crab beignets. Entrées include prime rib, roasted salmon, Gorgonzola-crusted filet mignon and more. There are vegetarian and vegan options aplenty for every course. Desserts like the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake round out the evening before the clock strikes midnight.

Make your reservations now to celebrate the holidays with the Spring House family.

Spring House Restaurant, Kitchen & Bar has more culinary delight planned for 2023, including new hours and a new menu. More on that next month.
