"Located inside the swanky Umstead hotel, Christmas dinner here is guaranteed to be fancier than eating with grandma’s best china. It’s expensive, but the food is always outstanding at this Forbes-rated five-star restaurant. The pre-fixe dinner option will be $185 per person ($35 for kids under 10) and wine pairings will be offered for an additional $100 per person. Reservations are required and limited, so don’t wait too long to book." - Elliott Harrell
