RALEIGH, N.C. (October 26, 2009)—With the holiday season approaching, Restaurant SAVOY (www.restaurantsavoy.com), North Raleigh's affordable fine dining experience, announces private dinning as an alternative to the holiday office party. Open for lunch and dinner, mid-afternoon gatherings are always welcome and allow groups additional privacy. Making plans now will reduce some of the stress associated with the coming season.

“Holiday parties

give business owners a chance to thank employees for their hard work,” says Chef and General Manager Marshall Smith. “There is no better way of showing appreciation then stepping away from cubicles into an award-winning restaurant.”

The North Raleigh location, Four-Star cuisine, and private upscale dining make it a welcomed alternative to catered office parties. Savoy’s contemporary and elegant private dining is suited for smaller offices up to 20 employees. On request, the main dining room can be reserved for larger gatherings.

SAVOY’s classically trained chefs will assist you in creating a custom, multi-course, prix fixe menu for the occasion, using locally sourced, fresh ingredients. Offerings such as upscale fois gras are menu staples, while popular seasonal specialties include pumpkin bisque, sweetbreads and dishes using apples, butternut squash, zucchini and watercress.
