The grande dame of the Oceania culinary world, The Grand Dining Room, recalls the mood of a sophisticated European hotel’s finest chandelier-studded restaurant.

Welcome to Ember, where savory American classics are revived with a modern twist. The broad cuisine features fresh, seasonal ingredients fashioned into exquisite meals by the finest culinary crew at sea, while the environment is refreshingly laid-back, reminiscent of a family-run Sonoma tasting room.

Discover a classic steakhouse in the grand tradition that entices with an alluring herb-smoked aroma of the finest seared cuts of beef from across the world and leaves you looking for Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra on the next table. Indulgent Kobe beef, slow-roasted prime rib au jus, and juicy grilled Colorado rack of lamb tantalize your taste sensations, while side dishes like buttery potatoes au gratin, garlicky sautéed mushrooms persillade, and, of course, a crisp Caesar salad cooked tableside take center stage.
Consider the Venetian glass, Carrara marble, and Versace porcelain of the world's finest restaurants along Via Ghibellina in Florence, coexisting with innovative, Tuscan-inspired cuisine reminiscent of a stone villa overlooking the medieval towers of San Gimignano. Welcome to Toscana, where every meal reflects the passionate touch of an Italian grandmother's flour-dusted hands. Enjoy slow-braised osso buco, pillowy hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, and crisp pan-seared sea bass with tangy Sorrento lemon and capers.
Surrounded by ornate wooden screens, vivid floor lights, and soft upholstered seats, you could be forgiven for believing you'd walked into a raffish Singaporean hotel from the previous century. Red Ginger is a Pan-Asian wonder, combining Thai, Korean, Japanese, and other Asian cuisines to meld tradition with innovation seamlessly. Discover the Edo period tradition of hand-rolled sushi, the juicy curried spice of Malaysian beef Penang, and the complex flavors of miso-glazed sea bass wrapped in a hoba leaf.
Terrace Café, with its friendly, pleasant dining room and shaded patio, has the ease of a beloved holiday home's favorite sun-drenched conservatory and magnificent seaside terrace. At breakfast, enjoy the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls and fluffy made-to-order omelets, pancakes, and waffles. During lunch, try delectable foreign cuisine alongside juicy, seasoned rotisserie meats and nicely grilled shellfish. In the evening, the richness of grilled lobster tail, the simple American essence of a sweet, barbecued pork cut with crispy, applewood-smoked bacon, and fresh hand-cut sushi and sashimi are just a few of the numerous options that will make Terrace Café a personal favorite. As you might expect, locally inspired specialties from our ports of call are a highlight of our popular Chef's Market Dinners.

On the veranda of a beloved Malibu beach house, the enchantment begins with the grill. Similarly, Waves Grill is a covered poolside dining place that serves made-to-order all-American fare from lunch until late afternoon. Experience the richness of a Wagyu burger with luscious tomatoes and delicious black truffle sauce. The seasoned potatoes are tempting, and the mild crunch of the fresh coleslaw pairs perfectly with the herb-marinated mahi mahi. For dessert, try a thick hand-dipped milkshake or one of Humphry Slocombe's new, wacky ice cream flavors, like the delicious Secret Breakfast combo of bourbon and cornflake cookies.
The Pizzeria at Waves Grill
Every evening, as if by culinary alchemy, Waves Grill transforms into a genuine Neapolitan trattoria, with the pizza oven at its core. Imagine yourself at Capri, overlooking the dazzling lights of Naples, while the seductive aroma of fresh pizza dough baked in a traditional wood-fired forno wafts through the bougainvillea. Begin with a glass of dry chianti, followed by sweet and spicy dry-rubbed chicken wings, delicate pork ribs, or rosemary focaccia topped with luscious burrata, juicy tomatoes, peppery arugula, and powerful balsamic dressing. Delectable pizza toppings include Flora black olives and oaky truffles, as well as hot chorizo and sour lemon chicken. Your palette will undoubtedly approve of anything you choose.
The parade of sparkling four-tiered dessert carts begins promptly at 4:00 p.m. Enjoy freshly prepared, tasty smoked salmon and egg salad finger sandwiches. Enjoy mirror-glazed petit fours, soft scones with creamy clotted cream, and, of course, a diverse selection of great teas. Take in the ambiance of polished silver teapots reflecting the turquoise sea, sunlight streaming through glass walls, the accuracy of white-gloved servers, and the delightful conundrum of a string quartet playing Beatles songs. You'll soon discover that this is the way afternoon tea should be.
Combine the sophisticated flare of a Viennese coffee house with the welcoming smiles of your neighborhood café and add 270-degree sparkling sea views to create Baristas, a comfortable refuge for coffee and fresh pastry enthusiasts. Sip complementary treats while enjoying the stimulating spike of an espresso or the silky smoothness of a cappuccino. Pair the ideal cup with a buttery dark chocolate croissant or the delightful citrus notes of an orange biscotti. Whether you prefer a robust macchiato or a gentle iced latte, you will be attracted by the Baristas' friendly and family-like atmosphere.
The tempting aroma of freshly baked pastries will lead guests from Baristas to Allura's new Bakery, which is just a few steps away. A freshly baked French or Italian specialty could be the ideal accompaniment to your coffee. Perhaps you'll try sfogliatella, a flaky, ricotta-filled dessert from the Italian region of Campania. If you like French pastries, you may have a delicious chocolate and almond croissant. Whatever your preference, you can't go wrong with a delicacy produced by experienced pastry chefs.
La Reserve's tiny Privée setting offers exceptional wine experiences. Guests can choose between two separate and one-of-a-kind multi-course pairing meals, each a sublime celebration of life's better things and limited to eight privileged diners per evening. Enjoy the one-of-a-kind Dom Pérignon Experience, which mixes unique Champagne vintages with meticulously designed meals, or the masterfully curated Odyssey Menu, which takes the senses on a culinary voyage. Backlit, debossed walls and a flowering flower petal ceiling, from which a spectacular chandelier cascades over the polished marble slab dining table, add to the sumptuous atmosphere. A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass offers a thrilling perspective to match these extraordinary eating experiences that span continents.
