Let Griffins’ capable culinarians take the reins of your home celebration’s meal preparation, roasting a whole Fraser Valley turkey to the most mouthwatering hue and tenderness level before executing a perfect poultry pass onto your plate.

You’ll also get a freshly made dessert. Meals can be fetched and escorted home on December 24 or 25, and must be ordered at least five days in advance.

• Located on the Hornby street side of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, this Euro-styled brasserie, with its chrome yellow walls and huge, colorful paintings, offers quiet, professional wait service with white tablecloth charm. – Trude H., Yelp
• Everything from the bread and salad to the prime rib was perfectly done. The desert [sic] bar was also excellent. – Will, Urbanspoon
