Restaurants open on Christmas Day

I know I'll get a number of requests for a list of restaurants serving Christmas dinner this year because I do every year.

The choice usually boils down to Chinese restaurants or hotel dining rooms.

However, Sotto Sopra, the Italian restaurant in Mount Vernon, has stayed open for limited hours and with a limited menu on Christmas Day in the past. ...

It will be doing so again this year. That interests me because I think of the traditional big holiday dinner for Italians to be Christmas Eve. I often make my own-mini version for the three of us with shrimp, salmon, pasta, a red sauce, salad, and biscotti. Maybe I ought to look into what Italian restaurants are doing for Christmas Eve.

Anyway, Sotto Sopra will be open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Dec. 25, with what the restaurant describes as a "smaller regular menu."

Obviously I'd love to hear of any other restaurants that are open Christmas Day with specifics on what they will be serving. Please post below.

China Moon. Where I'm sure I'll be possibly on Eve and Day!

Eichenkrantz is usually open. I haven't seen an ad yet in the Guide, though, and their website was last updated when the choir was still practising there.

Dogwood did a "dinner of the seven fishes" for Christmas a year or two ago. Any word on the reopening?

The Web site still says reopening in December. EL

Aida's in Columbia does the "Feast of Seven Fishes" each year. This year it is offered on the 23rd and 24th.
Went with my family the last 2 years and love it.

Thank you for mentioning that our restaurant, Sotto Sopra, is open Xmas Day. We wish everyone the best of the holiday season.

Grazie
