When to,try new Porch menu?

[kborth]

Going on a shorter cruise this time and was wondering which day is the best to,try this new seafood menu on a 7 day cruise. Are they open for lunch? Really like the idea of seafood heavy restaurant on Celebrity. We weren't too impressed with Bistro on Five in April,so hopefully this one will be better.

Unless they changed recently, Porch is only open for breakfast and lunch. I cannot think of a reason why one day would be better or worse than another.

 

Enjoy

The Porch is currently testing a new restaurant and menu. It is open for Lunch and Dinner (no more Breakfast).

 

It is a seafood inspired menu - I believe the cost is $25.00

 

Here is the menu

Thank you. I guess I will try it for lunch, sounds so good maybe dinner too. Think this is a great concept .

We had lunch on the day we boarded Reflection in August. Missed the feeding frenzy at the buffet! Added the seafood tower for $5 extra ($30 total) and well worth it.

We ate dinner in the Porch on Reflection last week. We paid the extra $5 for the seafood tower and thought the whole experience was fantastic. We were on a 10 day cruise and used to have loungers near the Porch during the day and it was hardly used at all - even on sea days. Unless you are a big fan of the bigger dining room experience I would choose the Porch for dinner. It was such a chilled experience away from the busy dining room.

 

I wouldn't think the day you eat there matters really except that if you decide to go at lunchtime you may well be the only ones there on a port day

Since the Reflection and the Silhouette are still in Europe.....do you think that once they start doing the Caribbean cruises that the seafood Porch will be retained or will it revert back to paninis?

 

I know this was a 'test', but not sure if the ship's location plays a part in whether they continue it or not.

 

Anyone wanna speculate????

I would guess that they would be even more likely to carry on with it as the ship will be guaranteed warmer climes which makes the venue even more attractive for dining in the evening.

 

We spoke briefly with the F & B Manager about it and he said it had been a success and that they were considering turning the Art Studio on the opposite side of the deck into a food venue - hardly surprising since we never saw a soul in there.

So The Porch is open? No airconditioning?

 

Not me, but dh, always wants to be in airconditioning when he has dinner (or lunch or b'fast). :(

Even more amazing that they can charge 25$ for such a simple menu. Chicken wings and burger...

Is this only on the Reflection & Silhouette?

We had lunch last year at the Porch on the Reflection and it was lovely. It was January in the Caribbean and it was so nice to eat outside!
