A course-by-course guide: dining with the sea
Dinner at Passions on the Beach is served from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM, featuring fresh starters, tender steaks, flavorful fish, and indulgent desserts. Here’s how the Ocean Soundtrack complements each moment.
Starters: ease into the evening
The first course sets your pace. Gentle waves and live instrumentals help you slow down and settle in, letting bright appetizers and fresh starters take center stage. It’s a cue to breathe, taste, and enjoy the view.
Steaks: savor with intention
For tender steaks, the measured rhythm of the surf invites you to linger. With each bite, the waves keep conversation unhurried and the focus on texture, aroma, and warmth—especially as tiki torches glow.
Fish: in harmony with the sea
Flavorful fish feels right at home by the water. The shoreline soundtrack reinforces freshness and amplifies the ocean-to-table connection, all while a cool sea breeze keeps the setting comfortable.
Desserts: linger under candlelight
As the sky deepens, candlelight and lanterns cast a warm glow on the sand. The Ocean Soundtrack softens the moment, making every spoonful feel more indulgent—especially when dining under the stars.
