Themed Dinners: Cuisine with Concepts
The best banquet menus and creative menu items that are deliciously destination focused.
Beach Luau
When the day winds down and the meetings are over, your team is greeted with tropical leis and an island-inspired cocktail from an expert mixologist right on the beach. Then it’s on to the main event: a Caribbean-style feast prepared by the resort’s award-winning chef, featuring “steel drum chicken,” mahi-mahi with papaya relish, the famous “Caribbean ribs,” and a whole suckling pig as the main centerpiece.
Lake Havasu City Brew Tour
The resort shuttles your group to two different Lake Havasu City craft breweries: College Street Brewery, the town’s “hippest” brewhouse, for a tour and taste of handcrafted beer paired with samples of their rustic cuisine, and Mudshark Brewery, for a tour and tasting of the unique solar-powered “made in the sun” beer.
American Cowboy Beach BBQ
The resort picks your group up right from the dock and motors across the lake for an evening spent under the stars on a quiet beach – cowboy style. Expect comfort foods like fried chicken, hamburgers, and chili, and finish it off with marshmallows cooked over the fire for rich, chocolatey s’mores.
“Turtle Bucket” Cocktail Making
Not just a food-focused event, but also a team-building activity, groups will be provided with a smorgasbord of ingredients (liquor, fresh juices, fruit, garnishes, and more), then tasked with making their own “Turtle Bucket” – Turtle Beach Bar’s signature tropical drink served in a 64-ounce bucket. Share your concoctions and pair them with coconut shrimp, pork sliders, or your favorite appetizer.
Houseboat Luncheon
Embark on a unique alfresco lunchtime excursion aboard one of The Nautical’s luxurious houseboats on Lake Havasu. Cruise the lake or anchor in a quiet cove to enjoy the ultimate picnic against blue skies, red rock canyon walls, and lake wildlife.
