Charred Octopus

This dish is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors and flavors. Delectable, charred octopus is served with crispy herb potatoes, briny olives, creamy salsa verde and brassica leaves.

If you have not tried Octopus I suggest you do. We had it last week while on a cruise. Very good.

Heritage Tomato & Burrata Salad

Indulge in this light and refreshing salad, featuring fresh heirloom tomatoes, creamy burrata, agave walnuts, Reggiano pesto, delicate microgreens, and topped with mostarda – pure bliss.

Shish Kebabs

The finest flavors from ocean and land have merged. Za'atar chicken, spicy harissa prawns and pimento spiced beef are served with a sauce trio of Moroccan herbs, rich garlic, and tangy daqoos.

Whole Branzino

This whole butterflied Branzino is expertly grilled and served with tangy pickled tomato gribiche, fresh citrus, and vibrant chermoula (Moroccan herb sauce), perfect for seafood lovers.

Mezzes & Spreads

Nosh on this assortment of rich baba ghanoush, marinated olives, muhammara, hummus, tzatziki, whipped summer feta, and roasted red pepper dip, all served with warm focaccia, pita, and lavash bread.

Scallop Crudo

Savor this sea lover's dish, featuring fresh raw scallops in a sour orange vin sauce, paired with crisp Persian cucumber slivers, zesty Aleppo pepper, crisp serrano peppers, and topped with crunchy pistachios.

We’ve repeatedly asked Universal to step up their food game. How do you think they did??
