Top 10 Holiday Dining Restaurants
in the U.S.

The Belvedere, one of the Top 10 Holiday Dining Restaurants in the U.S.

We're supposed to relax during the holidays, but there's so much work involved! There's shopping through crowded malls, sometimes fighting for a parking spot, trying to buy the latest toys for the kids before they sell out. There's the wrapping of gifts, as well as the ordeal of designing, writing, and mailing holiday cards. There's finding and cleaning holiday decorations and lights. There's hours spent in the kitchen cooking turkeys and hams and baking pies, cookies and other holiday treats, with all-too-frequent jaunts to the grocery for last-minute ingredients. Then there's driving through holiday traffic and even the elements to visit relatives. Why not take a well-deserved break? At these ten restaurants across the United States, families and friends can gather in style, and dine in a relaxed, holiday atmosphere, taking in the sights and sounds of our favorite time of the year. These fine dining establishments are all located in hotels, so out-of-town guests can stay there and walk to dinner, or locals can spend the night without worrying about driving home after too much holiday cheer. Start a new holiday tradition at one of these top holiday dining spots, which are serving special meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Eve, or in some cases, all of the above!
