Other Christmas Restaurant Options: Here’s my weekly SMDP column with a variety of Christmas offerings from local restaurants.

Anything directly on Ocean Ave is a good bet for being open on holidays. But I'd call to confirm.
Jade Rabbit is open until 7.
This is why we need more Asian restaurants on the west side.
Taco Bell
McDeez
