Old Florida Menu

Old Florida has been home to hunters and fishermen for years

Named after its flora and fauna, Florida has been home to hunters and gathers thousands of years since its first native inhabitants. This menu commemorates the culinary history of the Sunshine State. The Old Florida wilderness was trekked by the native Calusa Indians, Tequesta, and Seminole Indians, followed by explorers who learned to use what they gathered in the Pine Hammocks and marshes. These techniques have been handed down through the centuries and are still practiced by Gladesmen who depend on the Sea of Grass to feed their families.

Shredded Pork

• Bone in Pork Butt marinated for 48 hours using our signature Everglades rub and fresh citrus then slow roasted and shredded for your delight and adorned with local Florida palm tree leaves. Upgrade to Whole Pig (+$5/pp)

Whole Grouper Carving Station

• Fresh, locally sourced whole Grouper marinated for 24 hours in fresh citrus, chopped garlic and a blend of herbs and spices then grilled whole on site. The Old Florida Mangroves is where saltwater and fresh water meet and where Groupers lives until it's time to swim out to the big blue sea, then onto your plate.

Smoked Turkey Breast

Coconut Rice

• Rice is served every meal in Southernmost Florida. Inspired by the coconut tree laden shores of the Florida Keys, this dish uses every part of the coconut including coconut milk and coconut shavings

Ripe Plantains

• A surprisingly little-known fact is that banana trees grow really well in Florida. We use only the freshest local plantains and turbinado sugar to create this local favorite.

Orange Strawberry Hearts of Palm Salad

Cuban Crackers
