Smiling Sue Posted November 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi - We're on the HOTS in Jan and purchased the ultimate dining and drink package. We've never eaten in the specialty restaurants before and would love some feedback/suggestions on your favorite menu items. Many thanks for the advice.

Rare lazydayz Posted November 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2017 At Chops, get a bunch of appetizers. They are very good. At Giovanni’s Table, I love the filet. Hubby really enjoys spaghetti. Basically order what you like on land or something you always wanted to try. In most of the ship’s restaurants, they will bring you something else if you don’t like your first choice.

Foodluvr Posted November 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The 18oz filet for 2 at 150CP Yes, our favorite meal all week!!!! The Guyere Tots at Chops were good. My risotto at Giovanni's was to die for and all the desserts were delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer976 Posted November 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Usually enjoy most items @ Chops Grill, but ALWAYS have had excellent dishes @ Giovanni's Table. Giovanni's, LOTS, last February, the Gnocchi w/ Roquefort Cream sauce was AMAZING!! Kept eating "just one more piece" until I was about to explode.

BettyCruiser Posted November 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Pretty much anything at Wonderland! We loved in so much we ended up eating there the last night too:) Also enjoyed Chops. Food at Jaimie's was good but I don't like the room, too loud and crowded, I would suggest an outside table there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortoisegirl Posted November 19, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2017 My favorite dish on Explorer was at Chops, an appetizer salad with fried goat cheese and either pear or apple slices. I don't eat steak, so next time I think I might order another one as an entree too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyCruiser Posted November 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 19, 2017 y'all are making me hungry...please tell me a little about Wonderland--never heard of it before; the name intrigues me Probably the best thing to do is search on Wonderland for good info, pictures and video. It's one of the newest restaurants. We were on HOTS I think it's on Anthem maybe other Q class ships, also maybe a little different between ships. Each time we had a group of 4 or 5 and the server brought out one of almost everything for us to share. I tried and liked things I normally wouldn't order. The only thing I came across I didn't care for was from the salad or 'earth' section but others at our table enjoyed it. IMO it's worth a try.

I am looking at booking an Oasis class ship, what is the ultimate dining and drink package? I am not familiar with it? Sorry to ask on your thread.

Smiling Sue Posted November 19, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The Ultimate dining and Drink package is unlimited drinks, and dinner every night at a specialty restaurant (the ones you have to pay extra for instead of the main dining area or windjammer), and lunch at specialty restaurant when at sea.

cb at sea Posted November 20, 2017 #20 Share Posted November 20, 2017 18 Ounces? That's a POUND + of meat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted November 20, 2017 #21 Share Posted November 20, 2017 18 Ounces? That's a POUND + of meat! It's for two people and that is the weight before it is cooked...so probably about an 8oz. serving per person which is pretty much the norm for a filet. To the OP...if you like lamb, the lamb chops at Giovanni's were delicious as were the crab raviolis ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powelweb Posted November 20, 2017 #22 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Does HOTS have Izumi? Lobster and fillet is very good Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Not only does Harmony have Izumi, they have the teppanyaki tables that you can reserve for where the chefs cook your meal right in front of you- very good when we were on board in April.
