Iluvcruising2 Posted November 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi, We have just booked a 7 nighter on the soon-to-be revitalized Legend of the Seas next March. The ship will have a Chef's Table. Wondering if there are views and comments on the experience in the Chef's Table so far. Overall, we have enjoyed Portofino tremendously on the Brilliance and the Voyager so I am keen to try, but I'm not sure what we are getting into. Any comments and views are most welcomed.

Janet524 Posted November 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We did the Chef's Table on both Oasis and Allure and the dining experience was fabulous. The chef and sommalier (we opted to do the wine pairings) presented each course - I think it was 5 courses. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. If you're a fan of "dining" (rather than just "eating") you should enjoy Chef's Table. We thought it was worth the cost and will certainly do it again on the next ship that offers it.

ChipLondon Posted November 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The Chefs Table is a great dining experience. We have done it on Allure, Oasis and Granduer. We always enjoy the menu ( different on each ship ) and wine. Although if you are not a drinker, or someone that enjoys various wines with each course, the fact that it is a wine pairing meal might not suit you.

You can opt out of the wine pairing. BFF is not a wine drinker and she was charged about $20 less since she did not have the wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted November 20, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2012 By any definition, the Chef's Table qualifies as "Fine Dining!" Everyone should try it at least once. The food and service are excellent! The down side is that it is slow! If you wan't a high speed, McDonald's like dinner, skip it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynalan Posted November 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2012 We just returned from a November 4th cruise on the Allure. We did the Chef's Table and I can confirm that it was one of the best meals we've ever had on a cruise ship. It was a great touch that the chef came out as each course was served to explain his inspiration in the composition of the dish. As a foodie, this was an experience not to be missed.

Iluvcruising2 Posted November 21, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks! Yeah, very tempted to try, together with wine pairing. I'll just have to make sure my kids are well taken care of in the Kids' Club. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkauhuna Posted November 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We have done the Radiance Chef's Table. That is a dinning experience of a life time. The Chef and wine stewart talk about the food and wine pearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizziedi Posted November 22, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hi Iluvcruising, we have done it twice on the Radiance with the wine:). It was superb on each occasion. It's unfortunate we won't have it on the Voyager. They greeted us with a glass of champagne and then there was a different wine with each course. I will bring the photos with me on the Voyager. Do it:) Cheers Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted November 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We did a chef's table on a NCL cruise last summer and it was perfect. We've also did the wine pairing on Oasis at 150 Park. I would love to try the chef's table when we are on the Oasis again in August. Does anyone know if this can be reserved before the cruise, or does one have to wait until on the ship? Thanks, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
