    We’ve been going to the Summit House for approximately 40 years. It never disappoints. However for the Thanksgiving dinners the price keeps increasing each year for the past 4 years and they took away the vegetable platter at the start of the meal. The meals are delicious and love the Christmas decorations. Of course the view is spectacular too!

    My family & I went to Black Angus in Whittier for the Traditional Thanksgiving Feast… It did NOT disappoint! First of all was the excellent service & attention from our Server, Jessica! She was an absolute delight from start to finish. Is a home cooked Thanksgiving feast better??? Debatable for sure, but the Black Angus Feast was absolutely delightful & fresh & complete in every way — From appetizing soup or salad to the perfect ending of delicious pumpkin pie with the perfect dollop of whipped cream. I think we have a new family tradition!

    It was a busy Saturday evening and I was so glad I made a reservation through Open Table. We only had to wait about 5 minutes. The food was great and was served in a timely matter after we ordered. Our server was also very nice and efficient. He came y the table often to inquire if everything was ok. We had a great experience.
