Not sure about the availability of that particular day, Exotica in Ojochal is by far the favorite restaurant in that area. Citrus also in Ojochal, similarly gets good reviews.

Reservations would be mandatory.

Two recommendations I received from Shelter from the Storm for catering (no experience with either).

Sarah Loftus, trained at the cordon bleu, professional chef. 8838-3378 [email protected] Will come to you or make a private dinner at her restaurant for you, The Chef’s Table.
“Made from Scratch” by Diana. Comfort food, lasagna, pastries, and will fix what you want. Frozen food available at the Saturday feria. 8344-4297

Sarah would be a great choice and she's a super woman. I met her last year while staying at Shelter from the Storm and had dinner at her place, Villas de las Aves. The food was fantastic. I'm not sure if the actually restaurant is still open most nights, and it's bumpy road to get to, but if they would set up a holiday dinner for you it's a gorgeous setting.
