Hooked Restaurant on Symphony

[luvscruising2007]

UGH... Just realized this thread is really old, and I already responded with basically the same response. I should read the whole thread before responding.

I could go for getting rid of either Izumi orGiovannis

I will check it out on my upcoming, but doubt I'll eat there. We almost never do the specialties as we like MDR and like having the same table/waiter each night. It's a big part of the cruise experience for us. Old fashioned I know. Plus it's not worth the up charge compared to the meal in the MDR.

 

Someone commented on freshness, but I'd imagine and hope they could get fresh seafood in each port.

I booked the 3 day dining package on board, essentially adding Hooked for free since we already had Chops and 150 Central Park booked. Dining there on the 15th so I’ll let you know how it is.

 

First night went to the MDR and found it surprisingly good. Excellent coq au vin and escargot. Desserts were pretty bad for the whole table except my son’s cheesecake.

Had dinner on Hooked and just wanted to get back to this thread with my experience.

 

Overall, I really enjoyed Hooked and would happily go again for a small upcharge (I think $25-35 would work for me). I think $40 is too steep, and there's no much replay value in the menu. I highly recommend that you do it once if you like seafood.

 

Most of the dishes were outstanding, but there were occasional misses.

 

Appetizers: The raw oysters were local Mediterranean oyster- briny and very fresh- excellent. Included a red wine mignonette, horseradish and cocktail sauce. Drunken mussels were very tasty served with some crunchy bread. Fried calamari were somewhat traditional but much better than average. Misses: New England Clam Chowder and baked oysters.

 

Entrees: 2 of us had halibut (fish of the day) freshly grilled and very tasty. Messy fish sandwich was out of this world. They gave my daughter the lobster mac and cheese as a main course (typically a side) and she loved it.

 

Whoopie pie was hands down the best dessert (they brought us one of each). Skip the Boston Cream Pie.

 

Symphony was awesome and would love to go back!

Trying to get a sense of where the restaurant is. On Harmony, seating areas and the Solarium Bar are above the Bistro. On Symphony have they added an extra level to Solarium or does Hooked take up seating and where the Bar would be?

ckelly, thanks for the recent review. Sounds like it's pretty good but pricey. I've read a few comments that it's a good option for lunch.

It replaced the bar.

It replaced the bar.

 

 

 

So no Solarium Bar or is it on a different floor? Does that also mean there’s less seating?

I wouldn't spend that much for any seafood place unless it's fresh...and by fresh I mean I am literally watching it come off the boat into my hands fresh. That's how I do seafood here at home, fresh off the boat and into my home SAME DAY!

I'm looking around for this lunch menu and can not find it. Do you have access to it?

 

Thanks
