We were in the first (11:00] seating for the Thanksgiving dinner. That probably influenced the very prompt service and quiet surroundings. The turkey roulade was some of the best turkey I have ever eaten, the breast meat was moist and nicely flavored by the abundant dressing rolled into it. The beans were crisp and bright green; the sweet potatoes were flavorful, The pumpkin praline cheesecake was incredibly rich and nicely presented. We only wished we had split one piece and taken the other home for later.
