Seattle Restaurants Open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for Dinner | Eater Seattle

"If you want to have Christmas dinner in an understatedly swanky space with sexy, bordello-dim lighting (you do, don’t you?), this pillar of Old Seattle is the way to go. Il Bistro has been a mainstay for nearly half a century (it celebrates its 50th anniversary in January), with a bar renowned as the spot where the late, great Murray Stenson rose to prominence before going world-famous at Zig Zag Cafe. From 5 til last seating at 10 p.m. on Christmas Day, it will be serving a three-course dinner for $89. It’s a ticketed event (i.e., pre-paid) through Open Table. Reservations will open in early December, so check Il Bistro’s website for bookings to go live." - Mark DeJoy
