As the national tour of the musical theater sensation arrives at The Bushnell for a three-week run Dec. 11 to 30, Hartford restaurants plan for crowds of theatergoers with special promotions.
At Peppercorns Grill, 357 Main St., Hartford, the restaurant offers a special “Hamilton” prix-fixe menu, “based on the favorite foods that our forefathers enjoyed and discovered during their times.” Courses include choice of West Indian spiced beef and sausage soup or salamagundy salad; entree choice of Hamilton ribeye steak “a la mode” (served with potato puree, sauteed broccoli romanesco and cauliflower, and a sauce of beef demi-glace); George Washington wild Atlantic salmon, with a lobster sauce with baby shrimp; and Thomas Jefferson housemade beef short rib ravioli. Desserts include James Madison square apple pie or Hamilton’s bread pudding.
Cost is $49 plus tax and gratuity; special menu may not be combined with any other offer, discount, or promotion of any kind. Theatergoers can receive 20 percent off the regular menu.
