Thanksgiving: More feasts
Last week, we gave you the rundown on prix fixe feasts for the holidays. Now there's even more:
Metro Lafayette offers a three-course prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner ($35, $25 for kids) that includes a choice of roasted turkey breast, wine-braised short ribs or gnocchi Parisienne, and a choice of desserts — plus a to-go box of day-after Thanksgiving fixings. 3524 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Lafayette; 925-284-4422; www.metrolafayette.com. Order your Thanksgiving dinner to go from Livermore's Wente Vineyards. Try pairing its annual holiday take home dinners — featuring brined Diestel Family Farms turkey with an apricot-ancho chili glaze — with Wente wines. It's $239 for a feast that feeds six, with wine available at a 20 percent discount. Call 925-456-2424, or visit http://wentevine yards.com/winery/thanks. giving_take_home_din ners/. Or pick up your Thanksgiving dinner from Saul's Restaurant and Deli in Berkeley. The a la carte menu features everything from Diestel turkey ($55 for a 10- to 12-pound bird) to veggies, Russian vodka cranberry sauce ($6.50 a pint), pumpkin pie ($17) and Saul's signature cheesecake ($34).
