We had our Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time at the Water Grill in Bellevue and found it extremely enjoyable and delicious. The service was excellent - the staff was highly attentive - and the food was excellent as well - from the clam chowder to the incredibly moist and flavorful turkey all the way through to the scrumptious pumpkin cheese cake and caramel bread pudding. The staff were especially gracious and festive and we had a lovely experience! We will definitely be returning!

We dined at the George on Thanksgiving day. Gary's service was unmatched. The milk bread and pumpkin soup were delicious. Adult beverages were tasty and plentiful. Even the brussels sprouts were good (and I don't like brussels sprouts). A bit pricey, but worth it for the occasion.
