Happy Friday. It wasn't a good day yesterday in baseball - OK, not surprised to hear Lenny Dykstra was named in the Mitchell Report. But now when I look at a photo on my desk of the Dude raising his hands in the air after the Phils became the 1993 National League Champs, it bums me out a little.
Looking for a good sandwich to eat tonight while watching the UD game (GO HENS!) or maybe after holiday shopping? Go to Timmy D's deli in Little Italy. Here's my review.
Let's get to today's questions. Seems like a few people don't want to cook at home and are wondering where to find a Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner on Christmas Eve and what's open on Christmas Day.
Hi! Just wondering if you have any info on which restaurants in the area will be open for dinner on Christmas Day. Thanks!
Finding a restaurant open on Christmas Day can be a little like trying to score a parking spot in Dewey Beach on Fourth of July weekend. It's not necessarily futile, but be prepared for a long search.
Victoria's Restaurant (227-0615) in the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel in Rehoboth Beach offers a buffet from noon until 7:30 p.m. in the restaurant and pub. Reservations are required and limited seats remain. Cost is $39.95 for adults; $17.95 for children 6 to 17; and $9.95 for children 5 and younger. The Green Room (594-3154) at Wilmington's Hotel du Pont is usually booked, though it may not hurt to call and see if you can snag a last-minute cancellation.)
Opentable.com, an Internet reservations site, lists no Delaware restaurants open on Christmas Day. All is not lost. Some Asian restaurants and diners also keep their doors swinging open throughout the day.

We're looking for a restaurant in Wilmington that serves the traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner. In the past, I think I've read articles of yours naming one or two restaurants that serve the dinner. Can you make a recommendation? Thanks. Stephanie Doyle.
I think you're referring to the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Some restaurants offer them earlier in Delaware, but Soffritto Italian Grill's , 1130 Kirkwood Highway, Newark, 455-1101, has one on Christmas Eve. Reservations are required, seating starts at noon and the last seating is at 9 p.m.

Longwood is open, but they are no longer taking reservations, so we are not going. After 15 years of having Christmas dinner there every year, they will not take reservations. My elserly mother cannot stand around on line in the cold waiting to get in, so we have made other arrangements. Phooeey on them. They would not listen to reason, would not make any exceptions, and were rude on the phone.
