"Expect the non-traditional at Mister Mao, where chef Sophina Uong conjures inventive, bold, and flavorful “inauthentic” cuisine. For New Year’s Eve: A Tribute to (San Francisco’s) House of Prime Rib, four courses for $85 with family-style prime rib and interesting trimmings. There are vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free options too, and an ice cream pie for dessert — worth celebrating. Choose from two seatings, one at 6 p.m. and one at 8:30 p.m." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
