    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.
