Chicago
Many restaurants are celebrating Christmas Eve with their take on the iconic Italian culinary tradition, the Feast of the Seven Fishes, including Gioia Chicago, Osteria Via Stato and Heritage Restaurant & Caviar Bar.
And on Christmas Day, don't miss options like all-day Japanese restaurant Miru at the St. Regis Chicago hotel, celebrating Christmas inspired by the popularity of Kentucky Fried Chicken at Christmastime in Japan. The $95 brunch buffet with fried chicken is available from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. with regular service throughout the day. Or make a reservation at MingHin Cuisine, a community staple open 365 days a year, serving Chicagoans a full authentic Chinese dim sum experience with reservations still available.
Portland
Gracie's, tucked inside the Hotel Deluxe, is offering a grand buffet on Christmas Day for $90 per person or head to Mayrose, located in the Duniway, for a $70 three-course Christmas prix fixe menu featuring yuzu scallop agnolotti, braised short ribs and smoked duck breast.
Seattle
Famed restaurateur Ethan Stowell is serving a Christmas Day Feast at Goldfinch Tavern featuring Marcona almond-crusted beef tenderloin and a traditional Bûche de Noël for dessert, or enjoy a classic beef Wellington and Espresso Crème Brûlée at Réveillon at Red Cow.
Both flagship restaurants at The Fairmont Olympic -- Shuckers and Seneca -- offer a timeless holiday prix fixe menu with main courses like citrus-brined turkey, prime rib, and eggnog Crème Brûlée for dessert. Christmas dinner at Il Bistro, the Tuscan-inspired restaurant celebrating 50 years in January, will be open from 5 until final seating at 10 p.m. serving a special three-course meal for $89.
