No reservations. 7 menu rotations. Delicious and innovative cuisine. Great concept and execution. Good for warm weather dining (blankets but no heat lamps).

 

No reservations is good.

Delicious and innovative cuisine is even better.

Sounds great, thank you!

Earth and Ocean is a new SB dining concept taking the place of what was served in the evening on the Patio previously. It is hard to describe what it is. It does have it's own set of dish ware. Our server was very proud of the dishes and turned over a plate to show us that the plates are handmade and signed. Also, great care is used in serving the cuisine---it is done with some flair.

 

The offerings are divided into three categories and you are encouraged to order as much as you would like. The categories are: Chilled, Refreshing, Quick Fried; Smoke, Braised, Tagine; and Cheese, Sweets.

 

Here is a sample menu from June 16th on the Ovation

 

Chilled, Refreshing, Quick Fried

Iberico Pata Negra "Ham"

(shaved honeydew melon, crisp fennel, castelvetrano olives, ricotta salata)

Calamari Basquaise

(roasted garlic, pine nuts, tomato confit, pan catalan)

Trofie Pasta

(beef shank ragu, shiitake mushrooms, amarillo tomatoes, toasted Japanese pancake horseradish crumbs, fontina cheese

 

Smoked, Braised, Tagine

Nigerian Shrimp "Provencale"

(piquillo pepper butter, roasted vegetables, patatas bravas, chipotle aioli

Rotisserie "Peking Duck"

(Chinese mo-shu pancakes, hoisin, cucumber, bok toy, fried rice, plum sauce

Roasted White Asparagus

(confit cocktail tomatoes, grated lemon zest, green pea espuma)

 

Cheese, Sweets

Farmer S Style Camembert

(honey pommery, mustard, pain grille)

"Pommes Au Four"

(baked apple, brown sugar butter, ginger bread, calvados gelato)

Yogurt Citrus Mousse

(strawberry romanoff, white chocolate and cranberry biscotti, orange sorbeto)

 

The portions are fairly small--almost like Tapas, but not quite.

Thank you SLSD for taking the time to post this menu. Pleased to see the Nigerian Shrimp back to Seabourn, they were absent for quite some time.

Mahogany, You are so right. I marvel at how spell check often "corrects" what I write. Other grammatical errors slip through with rapid typing---or on the fly editing without rechecking. We all need to be kind to our posters and overlook some errors in the spirit of off the cuff posting.

Yes, I think the portion size would be very generous for one. We shared each plate, so, for us, they were two small servings. This is what our server suggested and it meant we could try more dishes.

Thanks for that overview... I had wondered exactly how Earth & Ocean differed from the Patio Grill.

 

We are not big fans of the Patio Grill at night but this seems more our speed. We look forward to trying it on Ovation in November and I’m crossed by my fingers that it migrated to Odyssey by the transatlantic as it seems like it’s perfect for the Caribbean sailings that start in December.
