As Seattle’s dining scene gears up for another spectacular New Year’s Eve, Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi is setting the bar sky-high—literally. The Bellevue penthouse restaurant announces Havana Nights, an exuberant, all-inclusive celebration inspired by the vibrant pulse of Cuba’s capital city.
For one night only, guests are invited to step into a world of bold color, sultry energy, and late-night Havana glamour, all framed by Ascend’s signature panoramic views—the very best vantage point for the 2026 AHG Cares x Amazon Fireworks Show.
