Several of the island’s restaurants have served a holiday menu in recent years, from a prix-fixe dinner with herb-roasted turkey to a beachside buffet, and the island’s take-out kitchens can pack a full meal for a rental.

Menus, hours and prices change every year, and many restaurants take reservations only for the holiday, so treat this list as where to start and call or check the restaurant before you book. If you are here for Thanksgiving week with a group, book as soon as you have your dates.
