We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Il Fornaio. We appreciated that they had both Thanksgiving and regular options, and that the Thanksgiving feast could be prix fixe or a la carte. The food was great, but wasn't hot as we would have liked. Everything else was delicious. My friend said the ham was a little dry. Great cocktails and wine list. Our server Candy was outstanding. Very friendly and responsive. She was delightful. Nice interior, and the noise level was comfortable and had a very convivial buzz. We were really glad we chose Il Fornaio for Thanksgiving.

I meet my daughters and friend every year for Thanksgiving brunch at El Torito's in Milpitas. We almost always get great service. This year the restaurant staff did an excellent job serving us. The waitress was on top of keeping our water glasses filled and our table supplied with napkins. They made us feel welcomed and they took great care of us while we were there.
