Thanksgiving Day Dining

Thanksgiving is often the underappreciated holiday with all the hustle and bustle to put up the December festivities. It can be a hassle to cook for large amounts of extended family, and many places are closed that day, making it harder to find somewhere to eat if you don’t want to cook. That’s why we’ve compiled a list to make even the search for a restaurant easy. Here are just a few of our favorite San Diego restaurants that are featuring Thanksgiving inspired menus on this special holiday.

Acqua Al 2 is a Downtown San Diego institution, bringing a taste of Tuscany to the Gaslamp Quarter through its authentic menu and charming ambiance. Thanksgiving is also given a hint Italian flavor with their four-course Thanksgiving Dinner menu, for $45 per person. All four dishes may also be ordered a la carte, giving guests the opportunity to orchestrate their own holiday feast.

Bernard’O Restaurant, a fine dining venue that specializes in French cuisine, also gives patrons the choice of a prix fixe menu or a la carte as their two Thanksgiving menus. The prix fixe menu comes at a cost of $32.50 for adults or $14.50 for children.
