Seabourn's New Signature Restaurant, The Grill By Thomas Keller, Revealed Ahead Of May 2016 Debut
Seattle, March 16, 2016 - Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury cruise
line, has revealed renderings for its new signature fine-dining restaurant, The
Grill by Thomas Keller, which will debut in May 2016 onboard Seabourn
Quest. With a menu and ambiance inspired by the classic American chophouse,
The Grill is a collaboration between three-star Michelin chef Thomas Keller and
designer Adam D. Tihany, exclusively for Seabourn.
"We are delighted Chef Keller has partnered with us to produce such a
standout dining experience for guests to enjoy as they travel the world with
Seabourn," said Seabourn President Richard Meadows. "Wrapped in a
fresh design from Adam D. Tihany, The Grill by Thomas Keller will take our
already award-winning cuisine to new heights."
The new signature restaurant will be on each Seabourn vessel, including the
newest, Seabourn Encore, scheduled to launch this December. The Grill by
Thomas Keller will move into newly renovated spaces formerly occupied by
Restaurant 2 onboard the current fleet, beginning with Seabourn Quest in
April and followed by Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Odyssey
during regularly scheduled dry dock periods. Seabourn Ovation will offer
The Grill by Thomas Keller right from its launch in spring 2018.
The interior designs by Adam D. Tihany enhance the dining experience with
spaces that will be distinctive to the ships, yet defined by intimate settings
with an elegant and warm masculine quality. On Odyssey-class ships, the space
will feature curvilinear lines throughout, including lush leather banquettes
and tan leather swivel chairs that line the dining room; ceilings of curved
wood coffers that reference design details of a luxury yacht; and metal mesh
panels topped with elegant emerald marble at the face of the bar.
A culinary visionary and the innovator behind The French Laundry in Yountville,
California, and Per Se in New York City, Chef Thomas Keller's partnership with
Seabourn began in 2015 and highlights the luxury cruise line's commitment to
offering outstanding guest experiences. Guests of The Grill by Thomas Keller
will be treated to a timeless menu featuring the freshest produce from artisan
purveyors, such as table-side preparations of Caesar salad and ice cream
sundaes as well as a range of other steakhouse favorites like Lobster Thermidor
and creamed spinach, presented a la carte.
The Grill by Thomas Keller will be open for dinner daily on all Seabourn
vessels, and guests will have the opportunity to secure reservations online in
advance of their cruise beginning in April, 2016 for May sailings on Seabourn
Quest. In keeping with Seabourn's all-inclusive rates, there is no
additional charge to dine at The Grill.
