Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis and Cinder House Offer an Artfully Prepared Thanksgiving Feast

This Thanksgiving, treat family and friends to a gourmet meal that brings the bounty and warmth of the harvest season to a curated dinner at Cinder House as well as a memorable experience, dining at home. 

Celebrate at Cinder House 

Located on the 8th floor of Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, Cinder House showcases sweeping views of the Gateway Arch and Mississippi River, providing a sophisticated and comfortable setting to honour the holiday. Chefs Gerard Craft and Peter Slay will be offering a delicious a-la-carte menu that centres on the restaurant’s custom, wood-burning hearth. The plated special includes fire roasted heritage turkey, charred corn and herb dressing, sweet potato mole, fire roasted brussels sprouts and cranberry lime jus. “The hearth imparts a hint of flavour in every dish that compliments the local vegetables and adds a terrific taste to the fire roasted turkey,” says Peter Slay, Chef de Cuisine of Cinder House.
