Mid-Peninsula Christmas dinner

[Margaret Pilgrim]

I have been asked to come up with a site for Christmas dinner on mid-Peninsula: from Redwood City to Mountain View. The range is flexible. Ritz-Carlton is open at Half Moon Bay, and is a possibility. Any other ideas?

How many people? Any other prefs?

John Bentley's and The Village Pub in Woodside are very good. 231 Ellsworth in San Mateo is owned by alums of the Plummed Horse in Saratoga, and their chef has quite a resume. I haven't been, but have heard good things.

My good friend, a foodie to the core, just had the chef's tasting at 231 Ellsworth, and she love-love-loved it. But I'm not seeing them on OpenTable.com. I think it's so late, your options are going to be really limited. And not knowing the number in your party, it's hard to guess seating availability.

The cast: two people: 30+ male, 90+ female. Mealtime, anywhere from 1pm to 5pm.

231, Chez TJ are both closed on Christmas Day.

So far, I have come up with hotel dining rooms: The Duck Club at Stanford Park, Soliel at the Palo Alto Westin and aforementioned Ritz Carlton.

The only other thing I could find with your earlier hours at OpenTable.com is the Duck Club at the Stanford Court hotel in Woodside. It looks fairly traditional and pleasant.
