    We celebrated Thanksgiving day for the fourth year with you all. I would like to see beef tenderloin, and ham options added back to your menu. The salmon and shrimp were nice but for people who don’t eat fish or seafood it only left turkey. The service was excellent, and the staff, as always was very pleasant. Dessert selection was great, but it would be nice if the vanilla ice cream was available for the pecan pie as well as the apple pie dish.
