Did you know July is National Blueberry Month? The blueberry has the distinction of being one of the few fruits native to North America. Enjoy this berry at its juiciest and plumpest while they’re in season and you’ll also receive the health benefits of this “purple powerhouse.” We celebrate National Blueberry Month in Everglades Restaurant with delicious dishes such as our Everglades Berry Salad, then enjoy our Filet of Buffalo with Blueberry Balsamic Sauce and end your meal with our dessert specialty Pecan Tuile with fresh blueberries and strawberries. Don’t forget to sample our refreshing Stoli Blueberry Mojito. For reservations, call 407-996-9840.
