Restaurant 2 is a small venue decorated in red and black and with contemporary furnishings. The menu is fixed, and includes almost a dozen small plates. Like all the dining venues on the Seabourn Odyssey, there is no surcharge. The atmosphere is casual in Restaurant 2, but the food is not. The presentation of each dish is exquisite--you almost hate to taste the lovely items!
When you are first escorted to the table, you get the first hint that this will be a special meal--the menu is presented in a small light box. Although it's a fixed menu, it's nice to know what you are eating!
As each of the small plates are delivered to the table, the server describes it in detail. Here's the menu from our dinner at Restaurant 2:
- Chef's cocktail: poached shrimp martini, balsamic jelly, split safffron vinaigrette
