We love the joy, fun, and anticipation of a great New Year’s celebration. Make it even more special with a New Year’s meal, happy hour, or meet up at Root and Branch. Here’s why you should kick off 2026 at one of Clermont’s favorite local restaurants.
Clink! Over Our New Drink Menu
Nothing says New Year’s meal like the pop of a cork or the clinking of glasses. Our rotating drink menu is full of tasty libations and delicious sips. Here are a few ways you can make the most of your New Year’s toast:
- Try Expert Wine Pairings and Recommendations: Our in-house wine expert is happy to recommend a red, white, or sparkling wine to pair perfectly with your appetizer, entree, or dessert. Not sure which one to choose? Try a tasting flight to pick your favorite.
- Add Sparkle with Spritz: Have a classic Aperol Spritz, the Hugo Spritz (made with Elderflower liqueur), or a Strawberry Peach Spritz for something sweet and fruity.
- Relax with a Craft Beer: Our selection of local beers on tap and favorites in cans and bottles is sure to pair perfectly with your favorite sandwich or burger.
- Sip on a Cocktail or Mocktail: Whether you love the standards or want to try something new, a handcrafted cocktail is one of the most festive ways to complement a New Year’s meal. We suggest the Hemingway Six for something light and refreshing, or the Pirate Gold Fashioned if you like rich, complex flavors.
Small Plates are Great
We love sharing small plates during a New Year’s Meal. It’s easy to keep the conversation flowing, and there are lots of opportunities to try a bite of something new. Your table can share lots of delicious small plates at Root and Branch, like fried green tomatoes, lump crab cakes, or homemade hummus. Have some carnivores in your crew? Order up some succulent pork belly lollypops, a pile of wings, or a braised short rib crustini.
New Year’s Dining: Just the Way You Like It
We want everyone to enjoy a delicious New Year’s brunch, dinner, or happy hour, no matter their dietary needs or preferences. Need something changed to make it perfect for you? No problem. We’re happy to customize menu items and prepare everything to order.
