It’s true that the majority of Americans still stay in and cook to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, nearly 1 out of 4 families prefer to either pick up parts of their meal from a restaurant, buy the complete prepared meal or eat dinner outside. That is a significant percentage of diners that convinced some restaurant owners to stay open on Thanksgiving Day. If you are a restaurant owner, you will be the best judge whether to keep your restaurant open or just give your staff a break. Meanwhile here is a short list of top Petaluma Restaurants who think opening their doors on Thanksgiving is worth it.

What’s On The Menu: Roasted Fulton Valley Turkey breast & confit Turkey leg, Cranberries with cinnamon and orange, Country smoked brown sugar ham, Joy’s Dad’s Sweet Potato Pie and other mouth-watering foods.

Definitely worth the $65 per person ($30 for children with half portions) especially if you still haven’t recovered from your kitchen nightmare last year. I’d say if you have serious doubts about your turkey recipe, save yourself and your family from stress and book a reservation at this top-rated restaurant. You better hurry though because their list gets fully booked early.
