Halloween on Lincoln Road: Where to Eat With Your Ghoul

Laine Doss

Take your ghoul out for a nice dinner while you watch the Halloween parade.

Though there were a bunch of Halloween parties this past weekend, the big one is on Lincoln Road. We've seen it all -- drag queens in full regalia, space aliens, zombies, slutty nurses, and hairy Hooters girls that look more like Tom Selleck than someone named Bambi.

The best way to see this night of ghouls is to find one of the many restaurants on Lincoln Road and watch the action go by as you sit with friends and have a nice dinner. Most restaurants have table minimums or prix fixe menus for the big night and reservations should be made in advance.

Meat Market
The steakhouse is offering a special three-course set menu for outdoor dining by chef Sean Brasel. Appetizers include pumpkin lobster bisque, entrees include filet mignon topped with lobster hollandaise, and dessert is an autumnal trio of cupcakes. Two outdoor seatings are available at 6 or 9 p.m. $75 per person, excluding cocktails, tax, and gratuity. Call 305-532-0088 for reservations.
