Anyone know a nice restaurant open on Christmas? Slocum House? Biba's? Firehouse? etc..... We have been to the Hyatt (or was it the Hilton?) downtown. Looking for more of a real restaurant feel

Thanks

Gina

We had a great Christmas Eve experience up in Placerville. I forget the name of the place, but I'll bug my wife for it. I would strongly recommend them if they're open.

Ah, found it!

My first choice would be Biba. If you're looking for something more cozy/romantic, Slocum House is a good choice. Also, finally went to Bidwell Street Bistro last week and had the Muscovy Duck Confit -- wow!. That and the food the rest of my party had was exceptional and I'd definitely go back. Can't believe it took me so long to get there!

If they're open, Bidwell Street Bistro is pretty tasty.

I eat out at christmas all the time and the best place for what you described would be Carvers in Roseville. They have a special menu and need reservations. Also, Christmas day is just as bad as Christmas eve so you have to eat early, most places that are open close early. The worst choice is Denny's which always reminds me of "The Santa Clause" scene.

Zinfandel Grill in Folsom would be the first local place I'd call.

Rio City Cafe on the river in Old Sac usually has GREAT holiday lunches too. A good place to take people from out of town too.

Thanks all for the info. I made reservations at Slocum House (never been) and I am glad I called so early. They are actually filling up.

We ate at Scotts Seafood here in Folsom last Christmas eve. It was great! They were very busy. I had never eaten out on Christmas eve before.......I guess alot of people do.

We ended up coming home a little late from Clearlake on Christmas Day last year. We wanted to cook something quick and tasty, and decided to get some crabs from the Asian markets on Stockton. All were closed.

Tried the one by Sutterville and Land Park. Closed.

Ended going to Fortune House. I felt like that family from 'A Chritmas Story' (as seen above).

They didn't sing, though.

UnionBlondie16...Where do you find these quotes?
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Great Stuff!

We eat at Scott's often. They had a great Father's Day brunch. Unfortunately they are closed on Christmas.

I did slocum a few times when the extended family wasnt gonna be available, and its alright. limited menu (fish or meat, no selection of cut or anything).
