The folks at the Plumed Horse were beyond gracious and made our Thanksgiving, in very trying circumstances, a delightful memory. As always, the food was excellent, service elegant, and the people divine. Thank you all so much for saving our holiday!More infoThe Plumed HorsePrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Saratoga•4.7
