Top Connecticut Restaurants For A Classy Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving Day is one of the most celebrated American holidays. Family and friends come together to enjoy a large meal mostly centered around a large roasted turkey. It is a memorable experience, but one that comes with a lot of stress. Most of the time is spent preparing the meal in a stuffy kitchen. Sometimes, you probably just get tired of the usual meal and crave for a new taste. There’s a way around all that stress. Just leave the cooking to the professionals.

Connecticut is home to many deluxe restaurants offering exquisite Thanksgiving delicacies. You can eat-in or take-out and still enjoy your holiday at one of these restaurants.
