Shiitake Menu in MDR

[brmoqueen]

The new menus have little to be said but the Shiitake menu is just nasty! Even employees make comments how bad it is. We were on a b2b and ate it one week (ordered iff the everyday part) but second week did Izumi. Concierge said people book the specialty rest a lot on shiitake night...

I thought that menu was served on The last formal (lobster) night. I don't think its that bad.

Here's a rather blurred copy of the menu.... discuss.....

The second formal night is Jasmine.

I really loved the gyoza, and the ceviche wasn't bad.

What's nasty about Rack of Lamb?

[NorbertsNiece]

Came across these images from the display outside the MTD room when I'd decided not to dine in that evening :

Actually I recall enjoying the ceviche and the rack of lamb..... GF version....

 

[killtheump]

I really enjoyed the Veal Scaloppine Oscar and my wife loved the Chicken Caesar. But then again we are not real picky eaters!

[Mapleleafforever]

Doesn't look nasty to me. I'd go for the sole or lamb.

I was just stating what I thought plus what the waiters, WJ waiters, Izumi staff, and other employees said too. It cracked me up how many people that worked on the ship thought the menu was bad. Course everyones tastes are different... To each his own!

True, tastes vary. I've had this menu at least twice and found many things to enjoy, including the Carpaccio and rack of lamb. I don't recall hearing any dissension among the ranks regarding this one, or any other night's menu. In fact, the waiter we had this last time around was as excited about the lamb as we were!

Sounds to me like maybe the specialty restaurants weren't getting enough business, and the dining staff were told to encourage pax to "eat out" so to speak. I've had this menu several times, and tried just about everything but the lamb (don't like lamb). My husband loved the pasta pomadoro.

 

To each his own, as stated above.

I've had the Seared Beef Carpaccio more than once and it may be my all time favorite appetizer on RCI - might ask for an "entree portion" of it on one of my next cruises.

 

I've also had the Shrimp Gyoza Dumplings and thought they were quite tasty.

 

Different strokes . . .

Anytime lamb is on the menu, I'm likely to be eating it. :)

 

Do any of the restaurants on Allure serve venison?

Night 1 = Mojo

 

Night 2 = Saffron

 

Night 3 = Pimento

 

Night 4 = Shiitake

 

Night 5 = Basil

 

Night 6 = Jasmine

 

Night 7 = Pomodoro

 

At least this was a 7 night Oasis in October.

Question - if you are on a 5 day cruise (4 nights) does it just take off the last three menus?

[SA Traveler]

It is the Basil menu that doesn't much appeal to me.

Sorry...no idea we only do 7 + nights....I'm sure someone will come along with the answer :)

Not necessarily. It depends on the ship.

 

When we sailed on Liberty Pomodoro was the last night and Mojo wasn't offered.

[jerseygirl226]

I wonder if all 7 night cruises go in the same order. Figuring out when to book specialty restaurants. Want to do it a night that I'm not a fan of the menu.

 

Would anyone know or does each ship do it in a different order?

 

Thanks
