"Thanksgiving Day dinner review... This is the McCormick Schmick's in downtown Chicago, across from the Trump tower. If using CTA, take the Lake St. exit. Very classy, real linen napkins and real linens on the table, black-liveried waiters. The Shrimp Kisses appetizer was delicious, 4 large bacon wrapped shrimp with pepper jack cheese. 5 stars, at least. The side salad was beautiful, but kind of boring, nothing but arugula and similar greens, no tomatoes or other vegetables. Didn't take long to eat, lol. My companion had the butternut squash soup, which was only a small cup, but said it was delicious. The restaurant will bring you some delicious hot bread with butter, but apparently you have to ask. We had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, which was a few slices of turkey, a scoop of dressing, a large scoop of mashed potatoes and a scoop of something else hot I couldn't really identify but was really good, along with some wonderful green beans. It's not as much as you would probably eat at a family Thanksgiving dinner, but it was ample and quite good, a solid four stars. The slice of turkey dark meat that I got was really tough and not very tasty. I ate a little of it and left the tough parts on my plate. My companion, I note, gave up on his slice of dark meat, also. The dinner was $32, not including the excellent slice of pumpkin pie we had and not including the shrimp appetizer, which I thought was a fabulous bargain. A lot of tony restaurants in Chicago were charging $75-135 for their TG dinners, and I'm sure they were good, but still..."
