Thanksgiving in Santa Monica?

My daughter wants the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but my friend is a pescatarian; me, I'm open. We don't have a car, so a place along any bus line that goes through downtown Santa Monica will work. We're not made of money, but are willing to spend a little more for good quality vs. quantity (REAL gravy and mashed potatoes, fresh veggies and desserts, etc.).

Any suggestions?

    Locanda Del Lago and JiRaffe will both be serving Thanksgiving dinner.

      We've decided on Finn McCool's. Their Thanksgiving Dinner is around $22 and they're serving their full menu, giving my friend the options of salmon or a darn good fish-and-[garlic] chips. I also like not having to 'dress up'!

      Had a great Thanksgiving dinner last year at Fig in Santa Monica. Both traditional and untraditional on their menu. Great Food. Here is a link to this years Thanksgiving menu:

        We had Christmas dinner last year at Fig and it was terrific. The turkey was delicious.

          Thanks, but my pescatarian friend would be stuck with side dishes at Fig. We'd need a few veggie entrees and/or a few seafood dishes.

          Anyone else?
