    This was our first time celebrating Thanksgiving at a restaurant and it was wonderful. J. Gilbert’s is our place for special occasions, so it was our choice for this holiday. The menu was very traditional, which is what we wanted, and there was no skimping on portions. Of course, it didn’t compare to what we make at home, but the trade-off was that we avoided all that work and clean up just for the two of us. Happily, we will have turkey sandwiches for a couple of days - our favorite part of Thanksgiving. Our waiter was very personable and gave us just the right amount of attention. The ambiance was perfect and the noise level was low. It was such a lovely evening!
