Looking for the best bet for your New Year's Eve party experience? Celebrate AnQi's Havana Nights 1954 as the stunning restaurant is transformed into "Barrio Chino." Exciting musical entertainment by percussionist-DJ, Joakim Eskasan flown in from Cuba, and popular Grammy Award winning Latin guitarist, David Maldonado, will count down as guests dance into 2014.

Show, cigar rollers, tango stilt walkers, artistic pole acrobats will provide entertainment, with exotic Cuban cocktails and for one night only, enjoy a culinary experience with a twist on Cuban Asian fusion cuisine -- of course, AnQi style. 

Multiple pricing options range from an early Hemingway’s Hour A La Carte dinner, to a four-course sharable gourmet flights of dishes served family style with an over-the-top show throughout the evening. Veuve Cliquot Champagne Countdown party and dancing begin at 10 p.m. culminating with a midnight balloon drop. 

Prices range from $53-225 per person; wine pairings an additional $75. And, wow the Ultimate VIP White glove Butler service  package at $4500 is already sold out! Tax and gratuity not included.
