What we had: Thanksgiving dinner. We did this last year and liked it enough to return again this year. Scott's does a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, offering soup or salad, turkey or ham, side dishes and pecan or pumpkin pie for $29.95 for adults. We started the evening with drinks in the adjoining lounge; Jen had a glass of Riesling which she liked, and I had my usual dirty Ketel One martini, which was rather too dirty but not bad.

The salad was a Maytag blue with candied walnuts and dried cranberries. Very tasty. We both had the turkey, with Jen requesting all dark meat, which I don't care for. My white meat portion was fairly moist and tender -- not as good as we'd make at home, but then we don't have a kitchen to clean up afterwards -- and the mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans were well executed though improved by a bit more gravy. The cranberry sauce was very good.

Neither of us were terribly impressed with the pie; Jen had pumpkin and didn't care for it, while I had the pecan and thought it was almost exactly like those little single-serving pecan pies sold in convenience stores. Overly sweet and not enough pecans.

Service: Excellent, not a single complaint or problem.

Would we go back: Yes.
