November means the holidays are quickly approaching but the age-old question remains… Where will you be eating on Thanksgiving Day? For most, a one- to two-week prep leads up to the big day, catering to extended family. For others, it’s trying to figure out where to get vegetarian options for your California cousin with traditional turkey “like mom used to make” for grandpa. Is that really how you want to spend your holiday?
Why not let Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley and one of its many full-service restaurants take care of Thanksgiving for you? If you like the idea of a clean kitchen or a relaxing reservation process, then we have four Wilmington area restaurants happy to host you for Thanksgiving Dinner.
*Reservations for all the following are highly recommended.
