Since most of us are sheltering at home these days, Easter gatherings will tend to be on the smallish side. Many will be cooking Easter brunch or dinner at home, but a few restaurants are working to prepare curbside/take-home meals for your Easter Sunday. Here are some delectable options. 

At Scott Evans’ Pago restaurant, Easter Dinner To-Go will be three-course heat & serve meals priced at $30 per person (minimum of 2 people). Each meal will include crab cake, artisan cheese, choice of entree: braised lamb shank or ½ roasted chicken, potato gratin, minted asparagus and peas.

From noon to 6 p.m. on Easter Sunday, Franck’s will offer a four-course take-home curbside dinner beginning with a  baby iceberg wedge, honey-roasted pork belly, avocado-lime dressing, pineapple “ceviche,” smoked hazelnut, chipotle. 2nd course is butter basted Nordic salmon, local hiratatke mushroom risotto, dill beurre blanc, spring pea “tartar,” and pea tendrils. For the main course there is root beer-glazed Wagyu beef cheek, Wagyu fat grilled cabbage, marinated globe grapes, vanilla bean Burgundy sauce, Wagyu pastrami & fennel salad, and Robuchon-style pommes puree. Dessert is carrot cake, chocolate wood grain, goat cheese frosting and berries. The cost for Franck’s Easter Curbside Dinner is $100 for 2 people or $200 for four, tax and gratuity not included.
