The escargot is outstanding, and all our tablemates...even those who were hesitant to try them, but finally did...agreed and ordered seconds. I also found the various chilled soups were excellent, as were the various lamb entrees.

escargot

vidalia onion tart

lobster was good too and I'm not a big lobster person

 

my 10yo son fell in love with the chilled strawberry bisque

[Arubamoose]

I just love the chilled soups...especially the fruit ones. I have tried to make these at home but they never quite taste the same.

 

I wonder why? :rolleyes:

 

Must be the fact that I am not cruising...ya think? :D

 

P.S. And creme brulee, and Souffle, and escargot......!!!!

[brenderlou]

FOR ME:

Any herb crusted lamb dish at dinner

 

FOR HUBBY:

Escargot (he orders 3 and he's not a big man). I've had better on other cruise lines but he swears by RCCL.

[PudgiPoo]

The eggplant tower is my favorite

The eggplant tower is my favorite

 

My MIL ordered that one night and said it was dee-lish!!!

[Matti]

Let's see, there's too much to choose from.

 

But the first appetizer that comes to mind is the scallop risotto. I'd say one of the best main courses was probably the fisherman's plate. Dessert is the one I have the strongest opinion on :D: the flowerless chocolate cake in the trio of desserts was amazing.

Here is the compiled list...looks like I'm going to have to be brave and try the escargot, and what in the world is a savory bite? are they a dinner item?

What are savory bites? I must have missed them!

[Prphan2]

Count me as one of the few who doesn't get the love so many have for the savory bites. Every night when the bread was placed on the table, I grabbed them (DH didn't want any) and found them completely unremarkable.:confused: And I am a total bread hound normally!:p

 

The same with the honey stung chicken. As soon as we got the the Windjammer on boarding, I made a beeline for the chicken...once again, not impressed. :confused:

[24butterfly]

You have made me hungry !!! We're sailing in 2 1/2 months !!!!!!

[NorbertsNiece]

Savory bites are small one bite bread roll things..... they're ok.

 

I forgot to mention dessert....Portofino's tiramisu!

 

[CruisinCrow]

Do they have escargot on the 3-day cruises? I hope so!

[libertylover]

I ALWAYS order any and all cold fruit soups they offer! MMMMMMMM

[bplazo]

I am not impressed to much by food, so not much stands out to me. I do like the cheeseburgers and onion rigns at Johnny Rockets and I also like the macodamion (sp?) nut cookies.

[Pitbull1130]

What are savory bites? I must have missed them!

Little Hard rolls that Rule

[FlowRyder]

Favorite Appetizer: Vidalia Onion Tart

Favorite Entre: Roasted Lamb Shank with Root Vegetables

Favorite Desert: Warm Chocolate Cake with Pears

 

Of course, as already mentioned, the chocolate chip cookies from the promenade cafes are totally delicious!

 

IMO, the best food is reserved for the specialty restaurants. Chops and Portofino offer stunning food that tickles the palate. If you are on Oasis, Izumi and 150 Central Park have some of the best food on the seas.

 

I would recommend trying it all! :D You just might find something you absolutely love!

 

Happy Eating,
