Welcome to Nieuport 17!

We will be open Christmas Day Dinner

After many years of customer requests  We will be open for Christmas Day Dinner. Every year more and more restaurants are finding there is demand for dining customers on traditional holidays. They have finished with their Christmas festivities at home and want to get out of the house and enjoy a meal with none of the cooking and clean up. This has been a Nieuport 17 tradition for many years on Christmas Eve and this year we decided to offer the opportunity to those who stay home on Christmas Eve and are looking for dining out alternative on Christmas Night.  Being the first year we decided to create something new. Chef de Cuisine Greg Moro has created a special $65 Pre Fixe menu with some amazing choices ($20 kids). We will offer special pricing on bottled wines for your party to continue the celebration.
