    It was really good until the main course. Slightly underwhelming… venison was not super flavorful. It needed salt and pepper.

    Thanksgiving at Jessica’s at Swift House is very special! Everything was amazing from the service to fabulous food and wine recommendations. They also accommodated a change in reservation time because of inclement weather.
