Thanksgiving dinner in a very crowded restaurant. We’ve been here before on Thanksgiving. Food was delicious, hot and lots of it. I had turkey with enough leftover for another dinner at home. My companion had a salad with filet of beef on top. She also had the casserole of assorted potatoes and cheeses. She loved all of the above. Took home some filet for tomorrow’s dinner. Even though it was very crowded, things flowed smoothly. Great overall in every aspect.

Three of our group ordered the special turkey dinner for Thanksgiving which was excellent. There was a selection of light and dark meat, a nice mix of carrots and green beans, dressing, mashed potato and cranberry sauce. A pumpkin based dessert was also very nice. All of the seasonings were delicious and everything was cooked just right. One member of our party ordered -- and thoroughly enjoyed -- the chicken risotto and a side of vegan tortilla soup.

It was our first time on Thanksgiving Day, loved it. My friends and I meet up on the day of Thanksgiving for lunch every year and the restaurant we used to go to closed down. We’ve been trying to find a new place and we decided this is the place to go every year now! Loved their Thanksgiving menu and it was delicious!!
