Menus for Portofino's and Chops

[CruisingYiayia]

Anyone have menus for Portofino's and Chops?

bump- I'd love to see them too

There used to be some on webshots (I think that's the name). You can do a search there and maybe find them. I recall hearing that there might have been some "copyright" issues, so they may not be there anymore (that one's silly to me, and I'm a big believer in copyrights, but it's not like anyone is going to profit from posting the menus--and besides it gets people in the mood to go to the restaurants). Anyway, you may have some luck there. If not, well, I guess I'm just giving you a bump up.

 

BTW: Loved Chops every time we've eaten there (various ships, same menu though). Shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, good meat (not the absolute best we've ever had, but still very good), sauteed mushrooms, garlic potatoes, grilled asparagus; darn, now I'm getting hungry...sigh. Very good desserts, but those were the things that have been inconsistent from ship to ship. I don't know exactly why, but the first time (Radiance) I had this brioche apple bread pudding with caramel sauce and glaceed orange slices...OMG! It was incredible. I haven't had one that good since. Guess we'll just have to keep trying. :D Haven't eaten at Portofinos, so no help for you there.

Check out www.cruiseclues.com under the menus section, they may have some for both of those places. I know I remember looking at them, but can't remember where. Hope it helps.
