More Restaurants Open on Christmas Day

Bill Benner over at the ICVA (on his blog Indy Insights) has the complete downloadable list of restaurants they know so far open Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. So far, the list of restaurants open on Christmas Day isn't too pretty -- but there are some good eats in there! Lots of you are searching for updated info. Here's what we have so far:

Shanghai Lil: This popular upscale Asian eatery on the Northside will be open from what I've heard. Call or check the website for reservations. (They may only be open in the evening -- we have our reservation and will see you there!)

Capital Grille: Capital Grille, the steakhouse at the Conrad, had a stunning Thanksgiving menu and I suspect they'll do equally well for Christmas. Opentable.com shows them as available and accepting reservations on 12/25. No word on a special menu. (The ICVA says they're open from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.)

One South/Eagle's Nest at the Hyatt: Opentable also lists the Hyatt restaurants as open for Christmas Day. Hotel restaurants can be reliable in a pinch especially for out-of-towners. Try One South early in the day and the Eagle's Nest for dinner.

India Garden: Both locations of this eatery are open from 5-10 p.m. for dinner. Mmm. Christmas Chicken Tikka Masala.

Look for a few New Year's recommendations later this week.
