Rusty Pelican Miami Waterfront Thanksgiving Day Feast (Key Biscayne)

About this adventure

Perched along the Rickenbacker Causeway on Key Biscayne, The Rusty Pelican offers the most dramatic waterfront dining backdrop in South Florida, featuring panoramic, floor-to-ceiling views across Biscayne Bay to the glittering Miami skyline. On Thanksgiving Day, the restaurant hosts an elaborate multi-course holiday feast that pairs traditional festive cooking with coastal culinary flair. The menu features oven-roasted turkey with apple cider glaze, applewood smoked prime rib, chilled seafood platters, and seasonal pumpkin desserts, alongside a dedicated children's menu featuring turkey sliders and mac and cheese. Outside, the wide waterfront lawn and boardwalk offer families the ideal vantage point for multi-generational holiday photos against the bay before or after dining, with valet parking and accessible stroller ramps throughout.
