Where to Eat In Fort Worth This Christmas — Your Guide to The Best Restaurants For An Upscale Meal

While many people love to cook a big holiday meal for family and friends, it can also be a daunting task on top of shopping, wrapping gifts, decorating, attending holiday parties, and juggling the merriment (read: madness) of the holiday season. Luckily, many upscale spots in Fort Worth are open for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals.

Here are some of our favorite spots in Cowtown for a stress-free holiday brunch or dinner.
