travelling_txgal Posted July 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Normally we book a dinner at the Steakhouse each cruise. Since we've sailed the Freedom before, this time we decided to try the Chefs Table. Any any reviews on this dining experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted July 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2019 most ships have the same menu and it's very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted July 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2019 There are quite a few threads on the Chef's Table. We've enjoyed it on the Breeze several times and on the Freedom, just this past spring. I don't think of it as dinner, but as an on-board excursion for foodies. It takes the whole evening, averaging between 2.5 and 3 hours, and includes a tour of the galley. On the Freedom it is held in a private, quiet room off the mid-ship dining room. It is a set, eclectic menu. You will be asked beforehand about allergies and aversions so the chef can prepare alternate dishes if needed. Wine is included. It's not for meat and potato only palates or for picky eaters. It is usually the highlight of my cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescami Posted August 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm sailing on Freedom in December. I am not getting a drink package but I bought the Chef's table as a surprise for my mother. Is there drinks served with the meal? ( I am okay with wine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted August 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Water, iced tea, and coffee are offered in addition to wine. I haven't noticed anyone ordering bar drinks but that doesn't mean it's not possible. I hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted August 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The problem is there are no cocktail servers in the galley, or the other private rooms where CT is held Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I am okay with wine) There was champagne at the initial small bites in the galley. Then when we moved to the private table there was unlimited Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc and Layer Cake Red Blend during the meal, constantly poured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
