Situated above Merriman Pond, The Sunset Grille at Crestbrook Park gives patrons a respite, offering family-friendly lunch and dinner options along with private banquet dining and event catering. The venue’s floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor patio provide natural views all year long. When the dining room is decorated for the holidays and the stone fireplace is lit, it offers a warm “lodge feel,” said Manager Mike Romano. Available from the day after Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, a special holiday menu offers creative cocktails such as the Gingerbread Martini and the Maple Mudslide.
