Plan the Cost of Your Christmas Table
Start with the food subtotal. Then add confirmed tax, service charges and other costs. A restaurant’s lowest displayed rate should never be used as the rate for every guest.
Christmas Meal Cost Calculator
Use the published brunch age tiers or switch to a custom restaurant quote.
Enter actual additional dollar amounts. Zero means no extra amount has been entered.
The result is a planning estimate, not a final bill or reservation. Confirm eligibility, drinks, charges and cancellation terms with the venue. Custom rates must come from your quote or chosen dishes.
A Six-Point Christmas Booking Check
Use this checklist while reviewing a booking page or speaking with the restaurant.
Christmas Dining Details Worth Checking
Christmas Eve Is a Separate Booking
A December 24 menu does not confirm December 25 service. Look for the actual date on the event or reservation experience, then check the confirmation email.
Regular opening hours also do not establish holiday service. For example, Dai Due’s own 2026 schedule explicitly lists Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as closed.
À la Carte vs. a Fixed-Price Feast
À la carte can suit a group with different appetites, but add the dishes each person actually wants. A fixed-price menu makes the starting food cost clearer, while drinks and other charges may still be separate.
Ask whether the regular menu is available during your seating. A restaurant can be open while serving only its holiday experience.
