Inspired by the Coast: How the Gulf Shapes Our Seasonal Menus

Evergreen’s Culinary Love Letter to the Gulf Coast

At Evergreen Ocean Springs, we don’t just cook near the coast—we cook because of it. Every plate we serve is a tribute to our salty breezes, warm sun, and vibrant local bounty. From the first shuck of a Gulf oyster to the final sprig of herb atop your cocktail, our seasonal menus are shaped by the rhythm of the tides and the heartbeat of the region.

This is coastal dining, Evergreen-style—fresh, intentional, and inspired by everything the Gulf gives us.

🌊 The Coast is Our Culinary Compass

Seasonality isn’t just a trend for us—it’s a lifestyle. We let the Gulf tell us what’s good, what’s growing, and what’s worth celebrating. Our chefs work closely with local fishermen, farmers, and foragers to bring in the freshest seafood, peak-season produce, and Southern-grown staples that change with the weather.

When snapper’s running, it’s on the menu. When blueberries are bursting, they’ll show up in your dessert—or your mimosa. Our ingredients don’t travel far, but their flavor goes a long way.

🦪 Straight from the Gulf (and Onto Your Plate)

You haven’t really experienced the coast until you’ve had seafood this fresh. We’re talking:

• Crab Rangoon Oysters that taste like they were caught an hour ago

• Whole Flounder, delicately roasted and served with red beans and rice

• Seasonal fish specials that rotate depending on what’s biting and beautiful

Our proximity to the Gulf means we can be as selective as we are inventive, showcasing sustainable seafood that highlights the richness of our waters and the skill of our coastal communities.

🥬 Local Greens. Southern Roots.

We’re proud to work with regional farms and growers who believe, as we do, that great food starts with great soil. Our menus feature:

• Heirloom vegetables and Gulf-grown greens

• Farm-fresh eggs, heritage meats, and house-made sauces

• Fruits and herbs that reflect the season (think spring strawberries, fall satsumas, summer basil)

These aren’t just ingredients—they’re stories of place, tradition, and the slow beauty of Southern food done right.

🍸 Coastal Cocktails, Too

Our bar doesn’t get left out of the seasonal fun. You’ll find changing garnishes, house-made infusions, and fresh juices that align with what’s ripe and ready. Ever had a watermelon rosemary spritz in July? Or a blackberry-thyme smash in early fall? Trust us—you want to.

And of course, our signature mimosa flights evolve with the season. (Yes, we absolutely believe in a cranberry-pomegranate sparkle for winter brunch.)

🥂 Taste What the Gulf Has to Say

Every dish we serve is our way of thanking the coast. Of celebrating the bounty that’s right outside our door. Of connecting you to something local, delicious, and deeply rooted.

So the next time you dine at Evergreen, know that you're not just eating what's in season—you're tasting a snapshot of the Gulf itself.
