Where to Eat Out or Order In on Thanksgiving

By

Avoid the family drama and inevitable exploding mashed potatoes by feasting out or dining in on Turkey Day. 


EATING OUT 

Lungomare

Avoid gathering in your tiny apartment this year by heading to Jack London Square instead. Lungomare's festive waterfront location is ideal for a holiday get together and feast options include: turkey consomme with chestnut pumpkin tortellini; chicory salad with pomegranate, persimmon and Marcona almonds; house-smoked turkey breast with confit of leg; dry aged rib eye steak; and olive oil poached salmon, along with a number of classic sides served family-style. 1 Broadway, Oakland 

MKT

At MKT in the Four Seasons on Market St., Thanksgiving begins with a sugar pie pumpkin soup with coconut milk, chicory greens with heirloom carrots, and smoked yogurt, and only gets better. Guests can choose between slow-roasted organic turkey with all the fixings; braised short rib with sweet potato puree, crispy sweet breads, and broccoli rabe; or black cod with winter squash dumpling, braised swiss chard, and shallot confit as the main course, and for dessert, opt for the pumpkin spice cheesecake with gingerbread crust and white chocolate ginger ice cream, or try the equally tempting cranberry almond macaron with macerated cranberries and orange cream. And don't forget to enjoy the view! 757 Market St, San Francisco

Blustem Brasserie

Every year, Bluestem Brasserie celebrates an extravagant Thanksgiving celebration including a multi-course feast with such tasty highlights as bacon-wrapped scallops, autumn spiced butternut squash soup served with Main lobster and pepitas, locally raised “turducken," and a selection of desserts including roasted Banana and chocolate tart or pumpkin cheesecake. 1 Yerba Buena Ln, San Francisco

Lake Chalet

For a romantic Thanksgiving in the Town, reserve a lakeside table at Lake Chalet (just don't forget a coat) and choose between autumn squash soup with Brussels sprouts and apples; classic roast turkey; pan-roasted king salmon with Yukon potato garlic purée; apple cider cured pork chop; or sugar pie pumpkin ravioli. Delish! 1520 Lakeside Dr, Oakland
