A Warm and Welcoming Thanksgiving by the Water
Chart House Melbourne is a long-standing local favorite, recognized for its seafood dishes and its capacity to foster a special atmosphere. Its location near New Haven Avenue and Melbourne Beach makes it a convenient and appealing choice for both locals and visitors. This Thanksgiving, the restaurant intends to offer a warm, welcoming, and delicious way for people to come together with loved ones and express gratitude.
A Thoughtfully Crafted Three-Course Holiday Menu
This year’s Thanksgiving meal at Chart House Melbourne features a carefully planned three-course dinner, costing $69 per person. Each main course comes with a choice of appealing appetizers and a satisfying dessert to complete the meal. The menu is designed to include both familiar favorites and refined choices, ensuring there is something to suit every taste as you observe this special holiday.
For the initial course, guests can choose from a variety of comforting, traditional appetizers. Selections include the rich Lobster Bisque, the hearty New England Clam Chowder, or a choice of fresh salads. Diners can choose a conventional Chopped Salad or a zesty Caesar Salad. For those preferring a lighter, seasonal option, the Kale + Butternut Squash Salad, which is also gluten-free, provides a pleasing combination of tastes and textures.
The main course selection for the Thanksgiving menu highlights Chart House’s dedication to quality and culinary skill. A notable offering is the Traditional Turkey Dinner, featuring butter-and-sage-roasted turkey, savory cornbread stuffing, mashed or baked sweet potato with rum butter, pan gravy, creamed spinach, and cranberry relish. This dish is a comforting representation of Thanksgiving tradition, prepared with the restaurant’s distinctive approach.
In addition to the classic turkey, Chart House Melbourne offers several other appealing main courses. The Slow Roasted Prime Rib, a 10 oz. Herb-crusted cut served with 3 potato garlic mashed is a substantial choice. Seafood enthusiasts can enjoy the Lobster + Shrimp Carbonara with prosciutto and sweet peas in a creamy white wine sauce, or the Shellfish Linguine featuring a generous mix of lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops in a garlic butter sauce with grilled baguette.
For those who appreciate perfectly cooked fish or steak, the menu includes options like the Filet Mignon, a tender 9 oz. cut with au jus butter and three potato garlic mashed, or the NY Strip, a substantial 14 oz. steak with mushroom merlot sauce. The Fresh Fish option allows diners to select their preparation – baked, sautéed, or blackened – with a selection of the chef’s farm-fresh vegetables. Furthermore, the restaurant provides Twin Lobster Tails with marinated grilled vegetables and Crispy Skinned King Salmon with Mediterranean orzo, feta cheese, and green goddess dressing.
Additions are available to enhance the Thanksgiving dining experience further. Guests can add a four-ounce. lobster tail to any main course for an additional $25, or choose to add shrimp in various styles—grilled, coconut crunchy, or scampi—for $12. These additions allow diners to customize their meals and create a truly individual holiday feast that caters to the varied preferences of their guests.
The three-course meal concludes with a selection of appealing desserts, ensuring a sweet end to your Thanksgiving celebration. Patrons can choose from traditional holiday favorites like Pecan or Pumpkin Pie, offering a familiar taste. Alternatively, they can select the rich NY-Style Cheesecake for a creamy indulgence, or try the Chef’s Dessert, which may feature a unique seasonal creation. Regardless of the choice, dessert promises to be a satisfying conclusion to the meal.
