Festive Flavors — December Dining Specials

Wheelhouse Bar & Grill — Christmas Day Dining

For the main course, guests can indulge in either the pretzel-encrusted chicken, served with beer cheese, cheddar jack, spätzle and caramelized onion, or an equally enticing honey mustard-glazed ham steak.

To top off your experience, Wheelhouse’s chefs have collaborated to bring guests an innovative, sweet holiday hybrid … gingerbread tiramisu. This delightful dessert combines gingerbread ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese and coffee syrup — and can only be found at Rivers Casino on Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25.
