   The menu impressed us first of all with such a great variety of offerings. But most of all, not only was the food exemplary, but the service was exceptional. Pedro was our waiter and was one of the best ever.

   Worse than the old airplane dinners! The portions were small 1 mushroom and one deviled egg per person. The salad was wet coleslaw with raisins. The stack of turkey was dry and tough! The mashed potatoes was like sticky glue. The Brussel spouts were tough to chew. Dessert was smaller than the free birthday desserts. All this for $80!! Shame on you Lettuce Entertain You we weren’t entertained!

   Had a great experience with my 3 boys on Thanksgiving... it was vwry busy and the atmosphere was joyous ... we were set for a 4:30 reservation and weatwd immediately... Server was a great guy and there right away asking about drinks and the bread rolls were brought...and water filled and drinks delivered...great start. I was able to order some special food for my 4 yr old off the regular menu and it arrived fast. The set menu was executed one course aftwr anothwr and all tastwd great...we loved the butternut squash soup... best I ever had. The whitefish was great and the Turkey was a huge portion... the kids loved their fruit juice drinks and Sprechers Root Beer was a great surprise...the desert was soooo good. Overall it was great food...fantastic service and a perfect Thanksgiving

   The food was amazing. Turkey and soup were spectacular. Raul is always amazing. He is high energy, extremely hard working and very pleasant. Always a pleasure. It was our first Thanksgiving eating at a restaurant and I can only say why have we not done this sooner. EXCELLENT experience. Thank you to the incredible staff that worked so hard and made it possible for all of us to have such a wonderful time. Happy Thanksgiving.

   We went for Thanksgiving. We sat near the entrance and we got chilled. They need to move the tables so they are not lined up with the cold air people kept letting in. I have eaten at Di Pescara twice before and had very good meals. This Thanksgiving meal, however , looked like it was prepared on an assembly line with the objective of moving people in and out as fast as possible. The food was plentiful and some dishes were quite good but most was mediocre. The Brussels sprouts were dried out little balls. The turkey dressing was slop that was hidden by crumbled pieces of dried turkey. They couldn’t be bothered to even slice it. The desserts were decent but they provided three servings for four people. We were told it was because they serve family style; however, we were served 4 portions of the other dishes. In the end it did t matter because nobody wanted to eat the gelatinous pumpkin pie. What a disappointment. We realize the constraints on handling a Thanksgiving crowd but this mess was inexcusable.

   My teenaged sons and I went for Thanksgiving. The menu and food were wonderful. Unfortunately I did feel like we were deprioritized throughout our meal - not just for larger parties but for smaller tables with more adults. Our server was not very present, our waters were never refilled, my kids were not offered more drinks, the lapse between our apps and the main meal was long- longer than the tables around us. When dessert arrived, we received one serving of each - I forwent dessert so my kids could have it. The table of four next to us received 3 servings of each- much more ample. We enjoyed our meal very much but I am still frustrated by the experience.
