"Not feeling turkey? Palette Tea House has you covered. This huge dim sum spot is one of the few destinations that has us braving the tourist crowd and heading into Ghirardelli Square. You’ll get to enjoy the full menu of their excellent dumplings, like colorful xiao long bao, tender lobster ha gow, and shrimp siu mai. Just note that getting a reservation for Thanksgiving day (food is served 11am to 6pm) requires a $15 refundable deposit. " - ricky rodriguez
