As autumn settles in, The Wharf at Madison Beach Hotel introduces a seasonal menu that pairs coastal classics with fall’s rich flavors, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of waterfront views and unforgettable sunsets. This new lineup brings an extra layer of warmth and sophistication, making it an ideal destination for an evening meal by the shore.
start the night with a signature cocktail
Begin your evening with a handcrafted cocktail created by Chief Mixologist Mike. His seasonal favorite, the Bee Sting, features Hendrick’s gin, ripe lemon, and jalapeño-spiced honey for a perfect blend of warmth and zest. This cocktail’s gentle heat and sweet notes make it a memorable start to a cozy evening by the water.
starters that set the tone
Begin with elevated selections like Oyster Caviar, featuring apple mignonette, ossetra caviar, and crème fraiche, or dive into the decadence of Lobster Poutine — a creative blend of creamy cheese curds, steak fries, and a vanilla lobster gravy. The Roasted Brussels Sprouts with bacon fig balsamic glaze and chimichurri sauce offer a warm, savory bite that perfectly captures the season. The Soup of the Day—often featuring a rich Butternut Squash Soup—is a comforting way to kick off the meal, inviting diners to relax and savor fall on the coast.
seasonal salads to start fresh
Salads like the Fall Cobb—with butternut squash, pepitas, blue cheese crumbles, and a maple vinaigrette—bring the best of the season’s harvest to the table, while the Warm Raspberry Brie in Phyllo combines mixed greens, tart apples, and a cilantro dressing for a delightful sweet and savory twist.
Entrées Celebrating Land & Sea
Main dishes include the elegant Duck à l’Orange, served with a crispy duck breast, parsnip puree, and orange gastrique, and the Seared Scallops, paired with a comforting squash risotto and finished with porcini dust. Pasta lovers will enjoy the Fall Burrata Ravioli, with butternut squash puree and sage breadcrumbs, an autumn-inspired creation perfect for a cool evening by the water.
Casual Favorites for a Laid-Back Night
For those in the mood for something more relaxed, the Wharf Burger—with cheddar, applewood-smoked bacon, and chipotle sauce on a brioche bun—promises a flavorful bite, while the Hot Lobster Roll offers 5oz of tender poached lobster on brioche, ideal for coastal cravings.
a sweet ending
