Seafood and Starters
Begin your feast with an array of enticing dishes to whet your appetite.
Start with a visit to the staffed raw bar, which will be stocked with delicacies like cold-water oysters, Gulf shrimp, and poached top neck clam ceviche. Colorful nigiri and sashimi offer a fresh seafood alternative with a Japanese twist.
A bountiful display of charcuterie and cheese will feature an assortment of domestic and international cheeses paired with jams, honeycomb, grilled vegetables, mustards, and more accoutrements.
For a cozy start to your meal, enjoy a bowl of sweet corn chowder, served with mini biscuits, heirloom tomato relish, lump crab, whipped sweet corn cream, and chives from the onsite garden at Rosen Shingle Creek, Emma’s Creekside Farm.
Begin with Brunch
A brunch buffet needs breakfast food like a Thanksgiving table needs turkey.
Enjoy classics like eggs Benedict and house made biscuits with rich sausage gravy.
Help yourself to avocado toast on homemade sesame bread, or a smoked salmon bagel with whipped caper cream cheese and a crispy tomato chip.
Japanese milk bread French toast is an indulgent twist on a brunch staple, with sweet banana custard, crème anglaise, a crispy Nilla wafer crumble, and drizzled with barrel aged maple syrup.
Top off your breakfast plate with warm apple fritters, apple cider donuts, and pumpkin donuts.
For those who prefer comfort food, our Make-Your-Own Pasta station will be serving specialty noodles like butternut squash ravioli, tortellini, and rigatoni along with toppings like pancetta, mushrooms, Italian sausage, and more. Top it off with your choice of sauce like creamy alfredo, basil pesto, or a rich and hearty short rib Bolognese.
Enticing Entrees
For the main course of your Thanksgiving feast, we recommend a visit to the slow-smoked prime rib carving station. Here, you’ll find tender cuts of milk served alongside zesty horseradish, au jus, and a laminated brioche.
For Thanksgiving purists, try the heritage turkey “turchetta” topped with roasted turkey gravy and warm potato rolls.
Classic holiday sides like whipped Yukon potatoes, green bean casserole, and candied yams pair perfectly with either carving station entree.
There will also be a variety of sides served family-style, including collard greens, twice baked acorn squash with allspice cream, streusel, and hot honey and sweet cornbread pudding.
Small Plates Served Hot and Cold
An array of hot plates showcases the skills of Rosen Shingle Creek’s award-winning chefs.
Try a series of cold plates including a foie gras torchon with a hibiscus compote, miso apple butter, and a sherry caramel.
Enjoy a variety of salads, including a beet salad with roasted grapes, carrots, and a golden raisin vinaigrette, or a bruleed persimmon salad topped with sheep’s milk feta, bronze fennel, and toasted pistachios.
This year’s hot small plate selection features dishes like a sunchoke and chestnut ravioli, tender beef Wellington in a crispy puff pastry, and Anderson Ranch lamb arrostocini.
Hand-made gnocchi in an oxtail ragu, brown butter seared scallops with caviar butter, and butter poached Maine lobster are elegant options that enhance any Thanksgiving table.
You’ll find these incredible dishes – and more – waiting for you at Orlando’s best Thanksgiving buffet at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Desserts
Dessert enthusiasts have come to the right place.
Our Thanksgiving buffet will feature an assortment of mini desserts representing some of the season’s most popular flavors. Take, for example, brown butter and maple cremeux, apple frangiapane tarts, pumpkin tiramisu, and pear honey panna cotta.
Other unique dessert options include sticky toffee madeleines, red velvet white chocolate brownies, chocolate pistachio creme puffs, and a chocolate hazelnut cherry cheesecake.
For one last sweet bite, enjoy a selection of house-made bonbons in flavors like pumpkin pie, banana caramel, and s’mores.
