Still looking for somewhere to go for Thanksgiving?
November 19, 2007
If you happen to be in DC on Thursday and need a place to eat, there are a few exquisite places that you may want to try: Charlie Palmer’s Steak, Hyatt Regency Washington, and IndeBleu. Obviously there are a few, but these are the latest ones to probably announce their Thanksgiving specials…
From 2-8pm on Thanksgiving day, enjoy a three-course dinner at Charlie Palmer’s Steak and is a special prix fixe menu that’ll leave you fully satisfied. The special feast includes Sweet Curried Cheese Pumpkin Soup with Maine Lobster Dumplings, Maple Glazed Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Seed Oil; Roasted Red Bourbon Turkey, Braised Leg Meat with Confit Giblet Gravy and Traditional Bread Stuffing; Spiced Venison Loin with sweet potato gnocchi, roasted porcinis and sage-infused venison natural, along with a selection of yummy fall desserts. $68/person (excluding alcohol, tax, and gratuity). Make your reservations today.
Not your cup of tea, then head over to the Hyatt Regency Washington for a “smorgasbord” of your Thanksgiving favorites. Open from 1-8pm, enjoy a wide variety of some of the best DC has to offer. First, warm up with a bowl of Pumpkin Bisque or Chicken with Wild Rice Soup. Guests will then savor hand-carved Roast Turkey with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce, Smithfield Ham and Prime Rib with horseradish cream, along with an assortment of savory side items like bread stuffing, mashed potatoes and candied sweet potatoes. Top off your feast with a tasty slice of homemade apple, bourbon-pecan or cherry pie. Reservations are requested and cost $35/adult and $29/seniors with children 5-12 paying $17.50.
Lastly, IndeBleu has a traditional menu just for the Thanksgiving holiday. Served “family-style” from noon-9pm, savory treats include: two hearty servings of Heritage Turkey – one coriander-cumin spiced breast and one pomegranate butter braised thigh. On the side, try the Rosemary-Apricot Naan with cranberry-jalapeno chutney; Heirloom Pumpkin Soup with coconut, pear and cilantro oil; and of course, Whipped Potatoes made with mustard seed butter and the Samosas with giblet stuffing. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Upside-Down Apple Halva Cake with chai yogurt sauce. Reservations cost $35/person, but $55/wine paring.
