Thanksgiving @ Red Fish Grill & Heritage Grill
One of the biggest changes in the restaurant selections for Thanksgiving Day has been the nearly total disappearance of the buffet. However, Ralph Brennan's restaurant group has kept buffets alive, if in a more casual way than in the grand style we used to find. The Red Fish Grill and the Heritage Grill's buffet are particularly amenable to family groups, in both the price and the selection of dishes. Here's a look at the buffet offerings, which will vary as the day wears on:
