Being my first time ever not having a homecooked Thanksgiving dinner I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I may suggest no orange or much less orange in the cranberry sauce. And I believe as far as the sides for the turkey dinner, I would suggest gravy be on the table along with the other sides. Turkey was outstanding, gravy was outstanding the dressing, I might have seasoned more with sage and such but was certainly good. All and all a great experience. Everyone in our party enjoyed it! The only thing lacking was leftovers.

We had a great experience! Food and service was great! Our waitress was amazing but I can’t remember her name. We were there on 11/27 around 5:30pm and we ate in The Board Room. She had short curly hair and glasses. She was the best!!!!
