Thanksgiving 2015 Dining Out in Boston
It's time to make your Thanksgiving 2011 dinner reservations, especially if you want to enjoy your holiday meal in one of the area's great restaurants. This post is a work in progress, so if you want to know when we update it, sign on to the comment feed for this post or follow us on twitter.
Each family has it's own needs and taste. Here are some suggestions that might fit your group:
Most places have special menus and sometimes set seatings for major holidays. Many will require a deposit or credit card number to place a reservation.
Hotel restaurants are normally open on all holidays. In Boston, this gives you some excellent choices including:
Asana at the Mandarin Hotel
L'Espalier at the Mandarin Hotel
Rialto at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge
Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons Boston
Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel
Here are links to some Master lists of Boston restaurants open for Thanksgiving.
The reservation site, Open Table is maintaining a list of restaurants with Thanksgiving menus. Listings include a price and information on offerings beyond traditional holiday fare. Remember, there are many more restaurants open that day. Put a time and number of guests into the system to see exactly what's available.
Bostonchefs.com has some information on its members' offerings. Here is the 2011 link to their information.
