Nautical Nellies opens at 3pm, with traditional Christmas dinner, as well as regular menu.
Made reservations for 4PM and it was already half full. We sat near the door and could see that by 5PM the place was full including every seat at the bar waiting for dining seating. The key to Christmas day dining is find what's open ahead of time and make a reservation. You could see many people arriving just looking for something that was open. Now on to that good Christmas meal...

And yet another sighting of the Shaw Holiday Fireplace on the bar TV:
