Thanksgiving family-friendly buffet at Plumeria Beach House

Expect a slightly less extravagant, more family-friendly buffet at the Plumeria Beach House, offered at brunch and dinner. There's poke, sushi, and carving stations of roast turkey and prime rib here, too, and for brunch, a crepe and pancake bar with lots of toppings: strawberry and blueberry compote, macadamia nuts, whipped cream, coconut and maple syrups, milk chocolate Bailey's ganache. A full dessert spread for both brunch and dinner includes pumpkin pie, of course.

$70 adult/$35 keiki, Thursday, November 22, brunch: 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., dinner: 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., 739-8760 for reservations
