It's a…read morebeautiful French-themed restaurant with an amazing atmosphere, incredible food, and some of the best service you could ask for. What really makes this place stand out is that there's genuinely something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a great meal, a nice atmosphere for a special occasion, or just somewhere to relax and enjoy yourself, they always deliver. The food is consistently amazing, but what keeps me coming back is the way they treat their customers. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and appreciated. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like family rather than just another customer. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience they provide and work hard to make sure everyone leaves happy. It's rare to find a local restaurant that gets the food, atmosphere, and hospitality all right, but this place truly does. I'm always happy to support them and recommend them to anyone looking for a great restaurant with incredible food and a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting!

This was my first time trying a French restaurant, and I'm not always the best at stepping outside of my comfort zone when it comes to food, so I played it safe with my order. But after tasting everything, I can already tell you I'll be coming back to explore more of their menu! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The meat was SO tender, and you could really tell that the ingredients were fresh and the food was made with care. I genuinely enjoyed brunch here so much. And the atmosphere?! Absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has this charming Victorian-meets-French style that makes the whole experience feel intimate and romantic. It's the kind of place that feels tucked away and special, whether you're going for a date, a girls' brunch, or just want to enjoy a really good meal in a beautiful setting. Definitely a hidden gem that I'm happy I discovered!

Disappointing Miami Spice Experience…read more I was really looking forward to trying this place for Miami Spice, especially since I was meeting friends who live about two hours away. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. When we walked in, there was a noticeable moldy/musty smell, which immediately made the atmosphere less enjoyable. Several items that were advertised as part of the Miami Spice lunch deal were actually not being offered for lunch. There was only one waiter on the floor and one bartender, and it showed. We waited over an hour for our food, and unfortunately, when it finally arrived, it was mediocre. It was especially disappointing because my friends had driven about two hours to meet up, and we were hoping to have a great Miami Spice experience. Sadly, the food, service, and overall atmosphere did not live up to expectations.

The Marina has four Specialty Dining choices: Jacques, Polo Grill, Red Ginger and Toscana in addition to the Grand Dining Room. I loved them all! The cuisine on Oceania Cruises is absolutely top- notch! My favorite was Jacques. This restaurant is also found on their ships, Riviera and the new Allura. It is named after Master Chef Jacques Pepin. They serve several timeless French dishes like Duck A L'Orange and Escargot. There were many options. My favorite was Filet Mignon topped with Truffles and Foie Gras. When we ate a second night in Jacques, we enjoyed a table-side preparation of Beef Tartare. This stole the show. The menu also included quite an exceptional array of appetizers, salads, soups, cheeses, and of course...excellent French desserts! The service is impeccable all over the Oceania Marina, and all the restaurants, including Jacques, are quite beautiful. There was never a shortage of food in any of the ship's restaurants. Just as, there was never a wait to get your splendid meals. More than half of the crew is dedicated to their amazing food service! There is so much that I could rave about Oceania Cruises, but I doubt that finer cuisine could be found on any cruise ship, at sea!

From the outside it looks small but once you step inside you realize it is pretty big with plenty of seating. The lighting is dim making it perfect to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, date night, or any other special occasion. We made reservations to celebrate my mom's birthday. We arrived earlier than expected and they accommodated us right away. We wanted to start with the lamb empanadas but they didn't have any so we had the chicken instead. Nonetheless these were just as tasty. We weren't done yet and the second server removed our plates for the bread and appetizers. At this point our main server had passed by several times to ask if we were ready to order. We definitely felt rushed. We ordered two sirloin steak for our entree. My mom and I shared a sirloin and my husband had his own. This was a pretty decent size to share. Unfortunately my husband's cut was not very good as it was very fatty. It wasn't communicated very clearly that the steak came with 2 sides. However, if sharing among 3 people the sides are pretty small and will not be enough. So we went ahead and ordered two more sides. Despite the confusion, this is one of the best steaks we have ever had! We all agreed that it was so flavorful, fresh, and good quality meat. If you want a good steak this is the place to come to!

Both the instructors (front of house) and student chefs came by the guest tables to check. The complementary empanada amuse bouche woke up my palate with a slight tangy kick I enjoyed. My burrata salad was both tasty and beautifully plated. The ball of cheese looked like a flower & was creamy, as well as generously complimented with baby tomatoes (95/100). Similarly pretty plating was in the syllabus for the vanilla bean creme brulee. with the berry garnish placed to look like a face. It's crust was crispy as I like as well (100/100). The demerits come in from the fries, as they were a little overly salty for my preference and the ketchup dish to balance them was small. The fries were nice and crispy though (70/100). The churrasco they accompanied was almost perfect. Medium well, it was still juicy and I didn't hear the cow moo. Besides the fries, it was accompanied with more fresh vegetables including baby tomatoes like my salad, asparagus and kale (94/100). The only reason it's not a 100 is because of a little extra salt. With an average of 90, that's an A- and they pass the exam of my taste buds. There's a parking lot with about 5 spaces. The restaurant's interior is accurate to within what one would expect at a "nice" place to eat, and they have some outdoor seating as well.

I was in the area for work and stopped in for a quick bite. Surprisingly the restaurant has a very high end setup. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. The bacalao fritura were very crispy, but a little lacking in flavor. The branzino was fresh and tender. The best of all was the asparagus, it was full of flavor and very crispy. I was tempted to ask how they cook it. The chocolate lava cake was very well done. My only recomendación is to have a more creative menu, using different ingredients and more innovative combinations, making a menú more interesting. I'm sure the talent is there to develop something great.
