With all the mad rush going on for the holidays (Christmas is mega big for me and my family, plus the fiance will be here), I have been putting my brain on overdrive trying to figure out a place for lunch on Christmas Eve.
It will be three of us (J. the fiance, Dave the roommate, and myself). Looking for something a tad upscale, but nothing over the top. Maybe something leisurely, but with a decent wine list.
Travel is not a problem, so any area of the Valley would be great.
Any suggestions on how to kick off Christmas Eve?
Thanks in advance!
