LOS ANGELES (TheStreet) — Few things are more depressing than dining alone on Thanksgiving.
But some high-end restaurants are trying to make the holiday less lonely for solo diners by adding counters and communal tables.
In Los Angeles, Ford's Filling Station (owned by Harrison Ford's son, Ben) hosts a Thanksgiving feast in a lively gastro-pub environment. The restaurant is within walking distance of the former-MGM studios where The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind were filmed. Diners will find a Thanksgiving feast of smoked turkey, sausage cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoes with homemade marshmallows and pie made from scratch. They'll also enjoy the friendly staff.
In San Francisco, Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak will offer a three-course prix-fixe menu at their new eatery and lounge bar at the Westin St. Francis.
Across from the Westin, there's Campton Place, a luxury staple of the local hotel scene with its own Michelin-rated restaurant. A prix-fixe dinner menu will be available in the restaurant or bar that includes foie gras with citrus marinade, squash and crab volute and slow-cooked bass or short ribs with chanterelles – an alternative for anyone not in the mood for turkey and stuffing.
