You still have options for New Year’s Eve

If you haven’t made plans for greeting 2010 in Kansas City, here are some options:

Grand Street Cafe is taking reservations — they’ve got a surf-and-turf special ($38, lobster tail and filet mignon) or a sea bass ($32, with spinach risotto and bacon-wrapped asparagus).

La Parrilla in Lawrence has a menu influenced by Central and South American flavors — dishes like Peruvian style octopus ceviche, seafood chowder, and Steak Parillada. Dinner is from 5 to 10 p.m. and the menu is a la carte.

The Blue Bird Bistro features its full menu as well as a number of dinner specials from 5 to 11 p.m. Keep an eye out for the butternut squash soup topped with pea shoots ($7), beef tenderloin, scallops and savory bread pudding trio ($36), and housemade cheesecake with a pecan crust and sweet potato champagne sauce ($11). There’s also a four-course prix fixe option for $45; wine pairings are an additional $20.
