OCEAN PRIME
While Ocean Prime always attracts foodies with its decadent seafood offerings, its new partnership with Piper Heidsieck Champagne is sure to be a favorite. Introduced just in time for the holidays, the Cameron Mitchell Restaurants’ exclusive Champagne, Essentiel by Cameron Mitchell, pairs wonderfully with their white truffle caviar deviled eggs. Indulge in these salty, rich flavors as they melt on your tongue, complemented by notes of pear, acacia honey, blackberry and more in every sip of bubbles. 140 Seaport Blvd., ocean-prime.com
The infamous Million Dollar Potato from Abe & Louie’s is the perfect side dish.
ABE & LOUIE’S
Famously known for their steaks, Abe & Louie’s raw bar selection is not to be missed this holiday. The Million Dollar Baked Potato is complete with a mound of Kaluga caviar and smoked sturgeon crème fraiche. For a more classic caviar treat, choose from the Kaluga Amur, Royal Imperial Kaluga and Golden Ossetra—but don’t forget the bubbles! A 2004 Dom Ruinart bottle of Brut Rosé out of Reims, France, makes the perfect match. 793 Boylston St., abeandlouies.com

FOOL’S ERRAND
Tiffani Faison’s bites never disappoint—especially when California White Sturgeon caviar is involved. Served with sour cream, chives and potato chips, this dish is a go-to snack to pair with a crisp glass of their Bisol Jeio Prosecco Brut. The party continues with decadent accompaniments like an Iggy’s mini-baguette, whole grain mustard, black pepper honey, strawberry jam and cornichons. 1377 Boylston St., foolserrandboston.com
