    For the third time, we ate Thanksgiving lunch/dinner mid-afternoon at Succotash. The crowds from early had left and the evening folks hadn't come, so it was relatively quiet. There is one menu for Thanksgiving, so we didn't have to make any decisions. Everything was great and we brought some turkey and ham, a deviled egg, and brussel sprouts home with us. The salad vanished quickly, as did the mashed potatoes and green beans. Desserts are so cute, and it is great to have several to sample. /They didn't make it home with us either! Our only addition was mugs of the hot mulled cider (sans Bourbon - no alcohol for us). It is truly worth it!

    We went to Cedar Knoll for a late Thanksgiving lunch. They offered a family-style preset menu of traditional dishes. The good was quite good (turkey a bit overcooked, but not tough). The coordination of the meal service was superb: it's not easy to serve an entire Thanksgiving meal for two family-style. The staff was friendly, attentive and efficient!

    Perfect place to enjoy family and great food! We’ll be back for sure! Pro-tip: try the cheese bread with the marinara sauce on the side! That could have been my whole meal and I would have been perfectly happy:)
