Four Walnut Creek restaurants will serve Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Nov. 26, with holiday prix-fixe menus and several takeout options.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Montesacro, Il Fornaio and Ruth’s Chris Steak House appear in a Bay Area Telegraph roundup of holiday meals across the 925 area code. Restaurant websites and reservation listings provide the following menu and booking details.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
1685 Mount Diablo Blvd. | Starting at $64 per person
Fleming’s Thanksgiving menu offers roasted turkey breast for $64, petite filet mignon for $78 or prime bone-in ribeye for $95.
Diners choose Fleming’s salad or lobster bisque to start. The meal includes green beans with caramelized onions, plus shared portions of mashed potatoes, stuffing and cinnamon-orange cranberry sauce. Tax, gratuity and beverages are additional.
The Walnut Creek restaurant opens at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving. The full dinner menu and a children’s three-course menu will also be available.
A catering bundle serving six starts at $265. Pickup or delivery is advertised Nov. 20-29, with Thanksgiving pickup arrangements varying by restaurant.
Montesacro
1686 Locust St. | $90 per person
Montesacro, the Roman-inspired restaurant founded by Gianluca Legrottaglie, is offering a three-course Thanksgiving prix-fixe dinner alongside a limited à la carte selection, according to its OpenTable listing.
The Thanksgiving experience accepts reservations for parties of two to 12. Cancellations within 72 hours of the reservation incur a $50-per-person fee.
For a Nov. 26 reservation, that means canceling by the corresponding reservation time on Nov. 23 to avoid the stated charge.
Il Fornaio
1430 Mount Diablo Blvd. | $59 adults, $25 children 12 and under
Il Fornaio’s four-course Thanksgiving menu begins with butternut squash and potato soup, followed by a salad combining winter greens, walnuts, grapes and Gorgonzola.
Turkey breast is served with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, yams and green beans. Pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce completes the meal. A limited core menu will also be available.
The restaurant’s website discloses a 3% surcharge added to the bill.
Its Thanksgiving Feast To Go serves four for $236. Preorders close at noon Nov. 24. Pickup is available Nov. 25 from noon to 9 p.m. or Thanksgiving Day from noon to 3 p.m.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
1553 Olympic Blvd. | Nationally advertised starting prices: $49 adults, $20 children; confirm Walnut Creek pricing
Ruth’s Chris lists Walnut Creek among the participating locations on its Thanksgiving page.
The advertised holiday meal includes turkey breast, sausage-and-herb stuffing, gravy and cranberry relish, with a choice of starter and side. Dessert is pumpkin cheesecake with vanilla ice cream.
The chain advertises adult meals starting at $49 and children’s meals starting at $20, with availability, hours and pricing varying by location. A take-home Thanksgiving bundle is also advertised.
