Definitely NOT worth $80. Turkey tasted like processed meat. About one tablespoon of cranberries, two tablespoons of dressing. Gravy too salty, desserts were cold and tasted like they were made the day before. We’ve been to several Thanksgivings at Cohen restaurants and this was the worst food.

Very nice Thanksgiving menu with nice options. Restaurant was very busy, but there were enough servers etc to manage. Having said that would have appreciated our server stopping by our table to pour wine etc

Took the family here for Thanksgiving. Service was pretty good. Drinks were good too. Made the mistake of ordering the turkey dinner. Got some dark colored stuff that appeared to be cut from a pressed turkey role. Couldn’t eat more than a bite. Should have told them to take it back and bring me a different dish but didn’t feel like waiting another 20 minutes. If I was eating at Denny’s and paying $15 bucks for the plate I probably wouldn’t complain. At $75 a plate, for what was supposed to be a high end restaurant I was disappointed.

Always 10 stars. We had William today as our server. He's always great. 900 people booked out they had already served over 300 ... organized and delightful for a busy holiday. We loved it.

We opted for the roasted turkey dinner. Turkey was extremely salty, very little gravy and did not look very appetizing. All Thanksgiving menu items were plated already and could not make any changes or add on's very limited. This was not a good Thanksgiving day dinner experience. We figured to stay locally and enjoy, but did not materialize in that manner.

Food was delicious as always. The white bean soup was delicious but misnamed. It was more like a chili and a bit spicy for some people’s taste. An elderly lady at the table next to me ordered it but couldn’t eat it because it was too spicy. My mom would have ordered it but our waiter did tell us it had a tomato base and had a bit of spice. I loved it but my mom would not have been able to eat it.
