This is part of my Tokyo DisneySea trip which you can read about here.
The Oceano is one of three restaurants located inside the DisneySea MiraCosta Hotel. It serves both a Mediterranean-style buffet and a fine dining set course meal. We opted for the fine dining course. When they say fine dining, it really is fine dining as I was impressed by the Oceano set course.
There was two five course menu offerings, one celebrating the 15th year anniversary of the MiraCosta at 10290 yen (~$102US) and another called the Silver Strand Course at 8500 yen (~$85US). While pricey, the courses, execution, and service were all top-notch. More importantly, it was delicious. My wife, older daughter, and I opted for the 15th anniversary course, while the younger three had the kids menu.
Here is the progression of our meal:
I didn’t try most of the bread except one bite of the Mickey shaped bread. It was dry and probably the only thing I didn’t like.

The appetizer course was beautifully presented with vibrant colors. You cannot go wrong with well-executed raw seafood balanced with acidic veggies.

I love icefish and have had this usually raw, but the seared version adds a nice toasty taste that is further enhanced by the fava bean’s own nutty and butteriness. The scallop and clam bouillon adds a nice umami taste to bind the dish together.

This was a well fried fish with a crispy crust, flakey and moist inside.

For the main, you can choose the beef tenderloin or squab. We all went for the squab, a great dish and expertly prepared by charring the skin. As for the inside, it was very moist.

The dessert course was also nicely presented and highlighted their 15th year anniversary of the MiraCosta. I’m not much of a dessert person, but did like the dish as it wasn’t too sweet.

The kid’s meal was a pretty big offering with sausage, pasta, fried chicken tenders, mash potato and shrimp, veggies, and chowder. Being our first day in Japan, they didn’t have much of an appetite, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the courses here, compared to what you can get in DisneyLand or California Disney.
