| - We ate Thanksgiving dinner at the Q. It was our very first time there so we didn't quite know what to expect.
We had heard and read all sorts of rave reviews of the place, but I have to say I was a little surprised by the very rustic surroundings, especially the non-paved parking lot.
We chose the 5 p.m. seating. We were greeted very warmly and seated promptly. Unfortunately, our table was close to the bathroom. If we go back, which we will, I would request a different table.
We were served with complimentary foccacia bread and carrot bread. The foccacia was good, but the carrot bread was phenomenal. Both were served warm with herb butter.
We then ordered a bottle of Cliff Lede sauvignon blanc that we thought was very good.
After that, we placed our order. I had the Foraged Mushroom and Chestnut soup. It was excellent, but very rich and filling. My husband and daughter each had a beet and apple salad with cheddar and spring mix. They both thought it was excellent. The salad had both red and golden beets in it.
My husband and I both ordered the Turkey entree and our daughter ordered a risotto. The turkey was outstanding! Two huge thick slices coated with a little gravy and cranberry sauce. We actually would have liked more gravy and cranberry sauce. The accompaniments were mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, candied yams and cornbread stuffing. I was actually a bit disappointed with the accompanying dishes. I don't eat candied yams so didn't have any. The creamed spinach had a very runny consistency but was good. The mashed potatoes were good but didn't make much of a statement. The cornbread stuffing had a very mild flavor about it and I couldn't really taste it that much. I actually thought a better accompaniment would have been some roasted brussel sprouts. Just my opinion. Again, more cranberry sauce would have been appreciated and more gravy. That way we could have put some of the gravy on the potatoes.
Dessert was pumpkin pie or apple crisp. Our daughter ordered the pumpkin pie. She thought it was good but not memorable. My husband and I each ordered the apple crisp. It was so rich, I couldn't eat mine. Also, I couldn't discern hardly any apples in it.
SO, the star of the meal was the turkey!
The meal was pricey at $59 per head (not to mention the bottle of wine). Also, we were taken aback that an 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. We generally leave a 20% gratuity which we would have done in this instance.
Nonetheless, it was a very memorable dining experience and we would definitely go back.
