If you want a more relaxed and cozier dining experience \u2014away from too many people moving around for food\u2014and at a more natural beachside setting, Seaside Grill Restaurant at the Pacific Islands Club Hotel may just be perfect for you.<\/p>\n
To afford this exciting opportunity to guests, PIC food and beverage director Steve Balakrishna said that Seaside Grill offers its own Sunday Brunch special for the whole month of August, which begins this Sunday, August 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are taking them in for a different dining treat here at Seaside Grill,\u201d he said, noting that Seaside Grill offers a slower pace kind of dining when compared with PIC\u2019s popular Magellan Restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome diners don\u2019t want to rush. They want to stay for some more time and enjoy conversation so we\u2019re giving them that luxury here,\u201d said Balakrishna.<\/p>\n
He admits that Seaside Grill is a bit upscale, but is still considerably affordable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit high, just a bit higher but the experience it brings you is priceless,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sunday brunch is open from 11am to 2pm.<\/p>\n
It is priced at $32 for adult and $16 each for children.<\/p>\n
Seaside Grill also serves a la carte lunch menu daily.<\/p>\n
PIC executive chef Steve Sterns said his team has redesigned the restaurant\u2019s menu to suit its guests\u2019 preference.<\/p>\n
He said the restaurant continues to offer international cuisine\u2014Asian, Italian, Mexican among others\u2014that appeals to health-conscious individuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this time, everybody is health conscious. People don\u2019t like a lot of fats, people don\u2019t eat a lot of meat. So we\u2019ve got those preparations here for vegetarians out there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said his team uses readily available herbs and natural ingredients such as fish sauce, sesame oil, banana ketchup, garlic, lemon grass, onion, peppers, and the like.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re using a combination of hot and cold such as in salmon salad. We\u2019re taking a salmon fillet, grill it, flake it, and we\u2019re adding it into greens with roasted tomatoes, some bell peppers, and citrus vinaigrette which means it\u2019s made from fresh juice, lemon juice and it\u2019s emulsified,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In Thai beef salad, there is lemon grass, lemon juice, and Thai fish sauce as well.<\/p>\n
He said Thai fish sauce has a bit more strong and distinctive flavor compared with other Asian fish sauces.<\/p>\n
He said the Asian influence comes into play since most Asian diners do not like a lot of cream and butter in their food.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey like lighter flavor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the restaurant also serves steak as well as grilled chicken, which appeals to the local taste.<\/p>\n
He said meal selections at Seaside can only be found there, and not at Magellan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s totally different from Magellan. We don\u2019t want to duplicate. We try to make as much variety as possible,\u201d said Stern.<\/p>\n
He said while Seaside Grill caters more for the high-end guests, \u201cit\u2019s open to everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeaside is slower pace. Some people don\u2019t like buffet food. Some don\u2019t want to get up. They want more relaxed atmosphere where they can make orders and have it when they are ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Seaside Grill he said also caters to those who want to do some something special while dining.<\/p>\n
For instance, guests can request for a more elaborate table setting to suit their occasions.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night, the team set up a table with wedding decoration and everything and served a special menu at the guests request. It\u2019s very successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Seaside Grill manager Oscar Apritado and PIC food and beverage administrative assistant Paul Dujua said diners would surely enjoy their time at the restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited. We\u2019re ready to serve them and make them feel comfortable while enjoying the magnificent ocean view,\u201d said Dujua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
