Most folks have their Thanksgiving Day plans on lockdown, but for those looking for a last-minute reservation, a menu recently caught our eye.

Mela Urban Bistro inside of the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in downtown Springfield has a drool-worthy menu planned for Thanksgiving.

Seatings are at noon and 2 p.m. by reservation only and can be made by calling 937-471-9009 as availability lasts.

Here's the menu in question that's making us very hungry.
