A Springfield restaurant is offering a four-course dinner special on New Year’s Eve to celebrate the new year.

Stella Bleu Bistro, 20 N. Fountain Street, is taking reservations for 5, 7, and 9 p.m., but spots are filling up.

The restaurant is known for, “casual fine dining, a great environment, excellent service and the quality of food served,” Executive Chef Darin Mitchell and Manager Amanda Harman said in a questionnaire submitted to the Springfield News-Sun.

The four-course meal will start with apple butter and brie crostini, with red wine syrup. Followed by customer’s choice of a side salad with mixed greens, candied pecans, cotija, blueberry vinaigrette or a house salad with choice of dressing.

Customers will have four options for the main-course - lump crab lasagna, mushroom risotto, smoked chicken shells, or beef tenderloin.

A hot fudge cake with Butterfingers whip or espresso creme brulee will conclude the meal.

“We have brought a side of fine dining to downtown that has not been here,” Mitchell and Harman said.

The four-course dinner is $35 per person. Wine and champagne specials will be available.

For more information or to make reservations, call 937-717-0478.

Stella Bleu Bistro has been operating since June and offers dishes made for a variety of palates.

Mitchell and Harman describes the food served daily as, “American, inspired by cuisines from around the world.”

Customers’ favorites include the diner burger or Stella’s grilled cheese for lunch and the rib-eye, filet or salmon for dinner.

“We have dishes and prices that can accommodate almost everybody,” Mitchell and Harman said.

On New Year’ Eve, the restaurant will not offer their regular menu. The regular menu will return on Tuesday, Jan. 7, because Stella Bleu Bistro is closed Wednesday, Jan. 1, through Monday, Jan. 6.
