    They never miss on the steak! We had Thanksgiving menu. The Turkey was ok, dressing was good, amazing mashed potatoes and green bean casserole was a bit gummy. i chose the filet mignon because I like that way more than turkey! It was great. It was a great way to spend a Thanksgiving meal in a wonderful setting. I recommend but I would stick with what they do best, steak!
