    We had to evacuate our house, and because of that we could not make a Thanksgiving dinner. The folks at the Plumed Horse were beyond gracious and made our Thanksgiving, in very trying circumstances, a delightful memory. As always, the food was excellent, service elegant, and the people divine. Thank you all so much for saving our holiday!

    We had the best Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey along with all the trimmings were amazing and the pumpkin pie with whipped cream was so delicious. Our waiter was Moe and he is by far the best server in town.

    Waiters were very sweet but took forever to serve our 4 course dinner. Had to ask for refill of water 5 times. Food was yummy but service could definitely be improved.

    All the staff is wonderful. Francisco has been our waiter many times. He is wonderful & very attentive. The owner Clyde, does not cut corners. Most of hid food is made by scratch & is premium as well as his accommodations. I would highly recommend this Restaurant. If there was 10 stars to give, I would give 20 stars.
