Join us this November and December for a variety of family-friendly festivities. At the DSBG, experience “A Mile of Million Lights” in addition to seasonal gardens, model train displays, s’mores over crackling fires, visits with Santa and much more at this year’s Holidays at the Garden.

Wrap all of the festivities together with a perfect bow on an upcoming weekend as you wait for Santa this holiday season!

Spotlight: Old Stone Steakhouse

Mouth-watering meals alongside a glass of wine in a warm, inviting atmosphere. For more than ten years, the downtown staple Old Stone Steakhouse has charmed guests with delicious dishes, an extensive beer and wine list, a large outdoor patio and its cocktail and cigar bar, Jailhouse – aptly named for the former police confinement area it occupies.

For more than 100 years, the Belmont Police Department occupied a 2,800 foot space on Main Street. In 2007, Old Stone Steakhouse restored the historic space, offering upscale steak and seafood at casual prices within a welcoming, preserved environment. Make your season a little warmer with delectable dining at this downtown restaurant.
