"The Belvedere at The Peninsula Hotel Beverly Hills is offering a four-course Christmas Eve dinner from 5-9pm. For $180 per person ($80 for children), you'll get winter truffle risotto, sea bass with miso beurre blanc, and a gingerbread bûche for dessert. The Christmas Day menu ($190 per person or $90 for children) runs from 11:00am to 8pm and offers a slightly different menu, with braised wagyu beef cheek, cider-glazed turkey, and a three-chocolate Christmas log. Also, the Peninsula is known to go all out on Christmas decorations, so prepare to feel like Kevin McCallister at the Plaza. " - sylvio martins
