'The Supper Club' offers a festive, stress-free Christmas Eve dinner

Christmas Eve is here, and with it comes one big question. Who is cooking?

For those looking to skip the stress and still enjoy a memorable meal, The Supper Club in North Naples keeps its doors open on Christmas Eve, offering a festive dining experience designed to feel both indulgent and welcoming.

This restaurant experience is inspired by supper clubs in the 1940's, where dinner was more than a meal, it's an occasion.

The holiday menu is carefully curated to match the spirit of the season. Chef Brooke Kravetz, who has been cooking professionally for more than a decade, said the holidays are her favorite time to share food with others.

“Chefs love to share their cooking with people. What better time than the holidays?” Kravetz said.

Food at The Supper Club is micro-seasonal, with menus changing every six weeks. The Christmas Eve offerings lean into rich, celebratory flavors, featuring high-quality proteins, fresh vegetables, and thoughtful garnishes. Luxurious touches like black truffle and caviar add an extra sense of occasion.

Kravetz, who is Italian, also draws inspiration from the Feast of the Seven Fishes, a traditional Italian Christmas Eve celebration.

“It’s an Italian tradition,” Kravetz said. “I wanted to include seafood so those who want to honor that tradition have the chance.”

Director of wine Zach Bingham said the evening is about more than just the food. It is about creating memories around the table.

“I’m most excited to have the dining room full of good energy,” Bingham said. “That to me is the epitome of the holidays, sharing a special moment with loved ones.”

Christmas Eve dinner at The Supper Club is a seven-course meal featuring a mix of seafood, beef, and seasonal vegetables. The menu is $150 per person, with an optional $70 wine pairing.

Dishes include maitake mushrooms, halibut crudo, and center-cut filet mignon. The restaurant also offers a special New Year’s Eve dinner for those looking to continue the celebrations. Reservations are required.

“Polished and playful, but never pretentious. For far too long, fine dining has built walls and not bridges. We want to create an accessible place for everyone to be welcomed,” Bingham said.

For guests who cannot make it out on Christmas Eve, The Supper Club offers weekly trivia and wine nights on Tuesdays and regularly introduces new menus and entertainment.

The goal, Bingham said, is to make every visit feel like stepping back into the glamour of the early 1900s, where great food, good company, and timeless ambiance take center stage.
