## About

Celebrate Thanksgiving dinner under the magnificent, golden stained-glass dome and monumental Austrian crystal chandeliers of The Garden Court! Established in 1909, this San Francisco architectural treasure hosts an extraordinary Thanksgiving Day grand buffet designed for multi-generational families.

The lavish feast showcases Diestel California free-range roasted turkey carved to order, slow-roasted prime rib, house stuffing, whipped potatoes, artisanal cranberry relish, and an iced seafood bar with Pacific Dungeness crab and poached prawns. Children delight in a custom kid-height buffet station filled with holiday favorites, followed by the Palace's signature pastry dessert salon featuring handcrafted pumpkin tarts, bourbon pecan pies, and warm fruit crisps. High chairs, booster seats, and valet parking are available.
