We had a reservation at 4;45 and someone took us right to our table. Many people waiting. There was 6 in our party. The waiters were right there taking out drink orders and bread and appetizers came soon after. Orders were taken promptly, and we didn't have to wait long. Dinner was delicious, and we had a lot of leftovers, and the staff brought boxes to take home. The deserts were also boxed. All in all, a great Thanksgiving experience.

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.
