It’s officially the holidays, and shopping is hard work. Save yourself a little splurge for some fine dining this week. Think perfectly sauced and seared duck breast, buttery braised beef, and salads so refined, they could be considered works of art.

Elevate your dining experience at these fancy pants restaurants. Because you can always wear those pajama pants another night.
