Appetizers
If you’ve never had the chance to try alligator, this is your opportunity.
The Alligator Bay Chowder is a specialty at Everglades. Made with Florida farm-raised alligator, the meat has a heartier texture and a subtle flavor. Some describe it as a combination of fish and chicken.
Applewood smoked bacon and a secret blend of seasonings and spices make this soup pop with flavor.
Those with a more classic palate will love starting their meal with the Caesar Salad. Crisp romaine lettuce drizzled with dressing and topped with savory parmesan cheese come together for the perfect first course.
The Watermelon and Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese is every bit as decadent as it sounds. Indulge in this symphony of flavors as farm-fresh goat cheese is coated with a sweet-savory watermelon and pistachio crust.
Shaved red onion and chocolate balsamic dressing add a burst of tangy richness to this extraordinary app.
Main Courses
Whether you prefer steak or seafood, your taste buds will be delighted by your entree choices from the Magical Dining menu.
The 8oz Filet is the finest cut of meat. At Everglades, it’s been perfectly char-grilled for a flavorful sear. Accompaniments include a colorful selection of roasted fingerling potatoes and baby vegetables. The entire dish is topped off with a rich Pinot Noir demi that will keep your mouth watering from start to finish.
Seeking something from the sea? Treat yourself to the insanely delectable Sea Bass encrusted in olives served atop a bed of tomato and artichoke risotto. This dish is an amazing fusion of fresh Florida ingredients and Mediterranean flavors.
The final main course option is the hearty and delicious Duroc pork chop. This 14oz bone-in cut arrives with whiskey glazed apples, creamy mashed potatoes, and baby vegetables.
Desserts
One of the best parts of Magical Dining is never turning down dessert. It’s already built into the prix-fixe menu, so treat yourself.
The Torched Key Lime Cheesecake Meringue is a decadent slice of tart key lime cheesecake topped with fluffy meringue that has been brûléed.
The Strawberries & Cream dessert is a beautifully balanced dish of layered vanilla sponge, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, garnished with strawberry glaze and a crisp tuille.
Lastly, a classic Tiramisu is the perfect final bite of your evening. Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese finished with a dusting of cocoa and dark chocolate define this beloved treat.
Magical Dining for a Great Cause
For 20 years, Magical Dining has helped Orlando-area restaurants give back to local nonprofits.
Every time you order from a Magical Dining menu at a participating restaurant, up to $2 is donated to local nonprofits that serve the Orlando community.
This year, Magical Dining is donating to Children’s Safety Village, The Daily Bread, Nathaniel’s Hope, NextStep Orlando, The Nurture Place, and Victim Service Center of Central Florida.
By choosing a Magical Dining menu, like Everglades, you’re helping support both the Central Florida community and local restaurants.
