Hello, we are off to Legoland during Thanksgiving week. Any suggestions on a good restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner? Thanks. By the way, we are traveling with two kids, ages 8 & 4.5.

We also like the Thanksgiving Buffets they have at Knott's Berry Farm. We have done that a few times at it was great. I don't recall the price but it was reasonable.

Disney and Knotts are a ways from Carlsbad and could take quite a while if traffic is bad.

I would suggest a couple of our favorites

1. Fish House Vera Cruz in Carlsbad
2. Jakes in Del Mar
3. La Especial del Norte in Leucadia (Great Mexican Food)
4. The Fish Market in Del Mar
5. Kings Fish House (We ate at one near Disneyland But I think there is one in Carlsbad)

If you want the theme park idea what about Sea World and dinner with Shamu. There may also be some very nice restaurants like at the Four Seasons Aviara or in the La Jolla area.

If money were no object (which for me it would be)

I would do Thanksgiving at the Hotel Del Coronado.

Of course, I would also love to do Thanksgiving at the Hotel Bel Air or the Beverly Hills Hotel......but then again it's that money being an object thing!
