A wonderful Thanksgiving Day experience. The food was great and plentiful. Unique differences like the fresh baked pop-overs and candied ginger on the pumpkin pie made this a meal to remember. Our waiter Steven was exceptional This is the 4th time we’ve been to an H2O restaurant and every time has been enjoyable and memorable.
