anything open Thanksgiving night in the South Bay?

[buttermarblepopcorn]

Hi,

My parents and I are interested in going out to eat for Thanksgiving dinner this year. We're in Torrance and would like to eat somewhere that's middle-to-slightly-upper range, price-wise that is in the South Bay. I had originally thought of Manhattan Beach Post, but after looking at their menu I realized tapas-style isn't my parents' favorite way to dine. (Also, it's a tiny bit above the ideal budget.)

When I looked into Tin Roof Bistro and attempted an Open Table reservation, I found out -- no surprise -- that they're not open Thanksgiving. That's when I realized this may turn out to be a totally futile goal.

So I thought I'd ask if anybody has a general sense of what tends to be open for Thanksgiving dinner in the South Bay that isn't a hole-in-the-wall (which I would enjoy on my own, but not necessarily with parents in tow).

Thanks in advance!

some Japanese restaurants should be open that night. I think there are some places with special menus that night.

Any specific ones come to mind?

Looking at the Japanese local paper, Ikko is open. That's the only ad I've seen so far, but I know there has to be others.

Consider the restaurants at the Terranea resort. And, what's your budget?
I'm sure most Chinese restaurants are open too.

Lastly, while it's not superchowish, the Marmalade Cafe is open in PV and they have some tasty dishes. They have a 3 course dinner for 30...

Thanks, DrBruin! Oh, our budget? I suppose around $30-35/pp max?

Thank you so much, Wienermobile! Also, I noticed your helpful remark in a different Thanksgiving thread about just going on Open Table and checking their Thanksgiving-available restaurant list. That basically helped me decide upon McCormick & Schmick's. Good price, solid food, warm atmosphere, and not too much of a drive -- bring on the rain!

Samba in Redondo is open. That might be a fun place to go & they have the Brazilian dancers. They are serving turkey in addition to the regular churasscaria menu.

Hmmmm, interesting. I may look into this... thanks!
