Vancouver's Guide to Modern Living
"Executive Chef Adam Stevenson is a whiz in the kitchen of Earth & Ocean restaurant. Highlights include the octopus salad with avocado, marcona almonds, watercress and melon oil as well as the seared sea scallops with artichoke, fennel, cured sausage, cerignola olive and orange pesto."
“The winter menu lingered on semi-exotic meats like quail (with Brussels sprouts and saba, a sweet syrup made from grape must) and pork belly (with chickpeas and anise cream), but also featured well-turned seafood: trout served moist and caramel brown, and a alight-handed razor clam chowder that made a sensuous bath for sweet seared diver scallops. Stevenson is a talent well worth nurturing.”

Best Salami That’s Not from Armandino Batali
“At Earth & Ocean, new executive chef Adam Stevenson is intensely committed to charcuterie-some of his specialities include prosciutto; culatello, a pork salami accented by intensely fragrant fennel pollen; and an entirely hand-cut cacciatore salami warmed up with nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and coriander.”

Chef to Watch
“Adam Stevenson took over leadership of earth & Ocean. He’s kept the restaurant’s focus on local producers but shows a special fondness for in-house smoking and charcuterie.”

The Cured and the Smoked- Seattle, Chef Adam Stevenson, Earth & Ocean
“Artisal salumi plates are pretty much de rigueur on menus these days, but all too often the offerings aren’t house-made. Here are the true trend leaders who are making their own.”

"The menu is incredible- with complimentary clashings of sweet and savory flavors- and the wine list is fantastic, leaning towards regional (Washington and Oregon) offerings.

Seattle Weekly
"Hotel restaurants rarely manifest distinct personalities, so a hotel restaurant that consistently takes an individual route to tickling the curiosity and pleasing the palates of its patrons deserves special credit. "

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"At Earth & Ocean, what you're assured of is a space where you can easily converse with your companions over thought-provoking, visually stimulating food. Creative, well-chosen, well-crafted food that offers fresh tastes of the Pacific Northwest."
