- DDoloresGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAfter a big mishap, with Instacart, on Christmas Eve that left my daughter and I without supplies for the Christmas dinner we had planned. On Christmas morning I was scrambling to find a place, that was open, and found Two-Fifty Market on Open Table and immediately booked a reservation for 2pm. It was a little bit of a drive for us but was well worth it. It was an all you can eat buffet and the food was quite good (especially the dessert). We are considering making it a new tradition. It is in a hotel and the lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We spent about 2 and a half hours there and didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend their Christmas dinner. It was lovely!More infoTwo-Fifty MarketPrice: Expensive• American• Portsmouth•4.3

- PpaulVIPGreater Boston •14 reviews5.0Dined on 19 Dec 2024I am pleased to say that C.R's has gone through changes and has resumed its place as a terrific spot for great food and drinks, We have been diners at C.R.'s for many years and can say that the new menu is the best we have seen in years. Our service was great as always and every part of our meal was thoughtfully presented and delicious. The Egg Nog Creme Brule was a particularly nice touch around the holidays.
