There's two dining options this Thanksgiving at the Rosen Shingle Creek — one is a brunch buffet and the other is a chef planned, plated offering. Since there's two different locations and menus here, I'm going to split our page in half and put info on the buffet first and the plated meal second.

There's a pretty cool sounding Tequila Pairing Dinner happening over at Everglades that will take place on Saturday, October 12th, 2024.
