Eight of us will be spending Thanksgiving week in Chicago and plan to eat out on Thanksgiving day. Any restaurant recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We will be staying in the Bellwood vicinity but have no problem driving within an hour's distance from there.
We'd like to enjoy a traditional turkey dinner.

The Peninsula Hotel on Michigan Ave. One of the finest restaurants and hotels in the world. You can't go wrong.

I've never been to the peninsula Hotel in Chicago but I will say that the one in Calif is THE BEST!!! Loved it !!!!
I'm sure the one in Chicago is great also!

I've Sunday Brunch numerous times at The Drake on North Michigan and bet Thanksgiving dinner would be really good.

Isn't the Christmas Parade November 22nd?

The Peninsula Hotel in Chicago was very nice when we stayed there, and we enjoyed their restaurant. Just know that
it is very expensive.

Thank you much. The Peninsula Hotel or the Drake it is!

I thought the Peninsula's restaurant was Asian...would they serve Thanksgiving Dinner? The Drake would be fine. Most all the hotels serve Thanksgiving Dinner, so I would definitely check out the Hotel Intercontinental, Le Meridien, Caliterra at the Wyndham, The Westin, The Renaissance, The Hilton Hotels and the Fairmont. Go online to Zagat's website for more info about individual restaurants. By the way, all the above hotels are located close to Michigan Avenue -- great for a stroll after the feast.
