Oceano, Rutherford Hotel
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
Executive chef Volker Marecek is at the helm of dining in this classic regional hotel. Expect carefully crafted seasonal food on the menu. The hotel’s Oceano restaurant menu has a short selection of starters – cured salmon mosaic, beef tea, baked goat cheese. Then move on to fine mains – catch of the day might be rolled in prosciutto, with a black rice risotto, or choose beef cheek, grilled polenta mushrooms, spinach and port jus, and more. Save room for dessert – Earl Grey and chocolate crémeux
