## About

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.
