As the holiday season comes to a close, one of Orlando’s lesser-known but well-loved dining spots invites guests to celebrate both the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. Bites & Bubbles, the locally owned restaurant and bar in the Mills 50 District, confirmed it will be open on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Located at 1618 N. Mills Avenue, Bites & Bubbles is known for its contemporary American cuisine with European influences, an extensive wine and cocktail program, and a relaxed atmosphere.
“We pride ourselves on offering delicious food, an impressive selection of wines, craft cocktails, and an inviting atmosphere perfect for any occasion,” says Bites & Bubbles.
New Year’s Festivities
For New Year’s Eve, the restaurant is presenting a special prix-fixe dinner crafted by award-winning Chef Eddie Nickell. The one-night-only three-course menu includes choices like chilled shrimp and snow crab cocktail or heirloom tomato burrata to start; braised short rib or duck confit for the main course; and desserts like espresso pot de crème or berry crème.
Reservations are required for this exclusive experience, and the prix-fixe dinner is priced at $68 per person. Following the dinner, Bites & Bubbles will also be open on New Year’s Day, welcoming diners with its regular menu.
Bites & Bubbles has become a go-to destination in the Mills District for both locals and visitors seeking upscale casual dining, wine dinners, and social gatherings. In addition to holiday offerings, the restaurant regularly hosts monthly wine dinner events and seasonal specials.
Whether you’re planning a celebratory dinner to say goodbye to 2025 or a laid-back meal to kick off 2026, Bites & Bubbles provides a welcoming and flavorful option this holiday season.
