Oak Steakhouse
Chef Jeremiah Bacon is skipping the steak, and going for a three-course meal, including Carolina turkey two ways (breast and confit legs), sides of all sorts and pumpkin panna cotta. It's $42 per person, and on offer from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Tristan Restaurant
Tristan is keeping it unexpected, of course, with dishes like pumpkin soup with Earl Gray marshmallows and shrimp and tapioca gnudi on their Thanksgiving menu. Each of the three courses will have four or five dishes to pick from, so non-traditionalist and those looking for the old standards should be able to find something. It's $65 for three courses, and it's best to book a reservation before 4 p.m.

Cypress
Cypress just changed up the menu, and all of the new items (like oysters and Craig Deihl's charcuterie) will be available, in addition to some holiday specials, like heritage turkey and grilled ham. It's a la carte from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m.
