Wind specialty restaurants

[ivyleaguegent]

Good afternoon,

 

Is the food and service in the speciality restaurants on the Wind substantially better than the MDR? Detailed comments would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Unless there has been significant change on Wind in the last few months, Le Champagne/La Dame does have more-formal service and (even) richer food than the MDR, and the atmosphere can be quite hushed if it's not full.

 

La Terrazza in the evenings is (if anything) more bustling than the MDR and the food is different from the MDR: I would say it's a matter of taste whether it's "better". Service is in general at least as good as the MDR.

 

The (on-deck) Grill is a sorta-kinda simple steakhouse, so plainer food. When we were last there, service was a bit patchier than other venues. BTW you don't have to cook your own food; they will happily do it for you if you've got over the novelty of the hot rocks.

 

And finally, room service for dinner is worth a try. Most of the butlers genuinely enjoy doing the course-by-course thing (with some butlers, service is more formal than in the MDR), the food is the same as the MDR (or you have the long list of room service options) and the only downside (for a Brit) is that inevitably it's usually not boiling hot.

 

HTH.
