Last week we listed several restaurants around L.A. that are keeping their doors open for anyone wanting to dine out this holiday season. Whether you’re looking to keep it laid back with Chinese food and a movie or jazz it up with a prix-fixe menu, there’s something for everyone. Here are even more restaurants to add to our previously posted restaurant roundup:
