This Forbes Four Star-awarded restaurant represents a new pinnacle in maritime fine dining, offering discerning guests an intimate culinary sanctuary above the ship's three-story Grand Plaza.

Each cut pairs seamlessly with house-made sauces including béarnaise, creamy au poivre, chimichurri, and black truffle butter, allowing guests to craft their perfect dining experience.
