Pinnacle Grill?

[jackretired]

Anyone have recent menus?

 

More importantly, what should I order?

 

Looking for killer must try's.

[dakrewser]

You'll find PG lunch & dinner menus here. It's all good, so order what appeals to you.

[catl331]

The PG is most noted for its steaks, but if beef isn't your thing there's plenty more to choose from.

[sppunk]

The lamb skewers are my favorite item these days. mmhmm.

Does each cruise offer a Pinnacle lunch? I'm guessing it would be on sea days? What is the price?

 

We are definitley doing it for dinner but lunch would be a bonus!

 

Thank you.

yes the Pinnacle lunch is available on every cruise and most cruise days:)

 

$10 per person:):)

 

btw the caesar salad at dinner is really wonderful. The flambes are a hoot!

[SwissMyst]

The lamb skewers are my favorite item these days. mmhmm.

 

I'll second that choice too. They are given a savory middle eastern seasoning marinade first before succulently grilled with al dente veggies. I had them along with the coconut milk chicken soup which was perfection and the creme brulee trio (oops or was that at Le Cirque?) for dessert for one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed on the high seas.

 

Looking forward to a repeat on our next cruises. It was a wonderful meal with a very lovely setting and charming service. (Maasdam TA - Nov 2011)

You have to have lunch in the PG and try the 5 onion soup, also the blue cheese encrusted Beef Tenderloin. Wonderful. For dinner try the Steak Diane. If your not into beef then try the Cedar Planked Black Cod - melts in your mouth. These would be my suggestions.

[arewethereyet]

On the lunch menu, the Alaskan Halibut sandwich is very good.

On the lunch menu, the Alaskan Halibut sandwich is very good.

 

And if you don't particularly want it in a sandwich, we ordered it plain on a plate and it was one of the best pieces of Halibut we have had anywhere.

[PaulMCO]

How far in advance can you book on-line?? Was told 90 days is that correct??

[zookiebird]

You can't go wrong whatever you choose but my favorite is the bone-in rib eye. DW loves the lamb skewers.

If you haven't tried the burger man, you need to try it! One of the best i've eaten.

[kcscrapper]

Oh. WOW!!! Both of the menus look .... incredible!!

My sister isn't much of a foodie ... I wonder how much whining I'll have to do to get her to try a fee based restaurant on a cruise ship!!??!!

[sail7seas]

If you haven't tried the burger man, you need to try it! One of the best i've eaten.

 

 

I agree.

The burger is great but it is huge! :)

 

[George C]

"Sterling silver beef tenderloin with Oregon blue cheese crust - grilled asparagus and scalloped potatoes" was great perfectly cooked Filet, for dinner normally order Filet Mignon, again cooked perfectly, you have a choice of 8 or 10 onces, unlimted side dishes are included

Would these menus be the same on the Zandaam?

[kazu]

Would these menus be the same on the Zandaam?

[sail7seas]

Would these menus be the same on the Zandaam?

 

 

Yes. Same Pinnacle menus on all the ships.

I'm droooooling over the menus! We have 2 nights booked for the Pinnacle for dinner, and are determined to get there for lunch as well this cruise. So many choices, so little time!!

[PathfinderEss]

That is excellent too, your right Arewethereyet, I had it the last time we ate lunch there.

Its funny, we have eaten in the Pinnacle numerous times for dinner but had not tried them for lunch. On this last cruise we ate there twice and now I think i like it better then dinner. Just give me a bowl of the 5 onion soup and I'd be happy.

[clbkatz]

What if I can't make up mind mind? Say I woudl like a salad and a soup? Are you allowed to order more than one item from the menu (excluding the main entree's) or are you limited to one item per course?
