Rare Woofa Posted April 12, 2023 #152 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Apologies I tried to delete my thread but could not figure out how. I was going to say that here in the DFW area we have Del Frisco's Grilles. These are a more casual version of their Steakhouses. When I first saw the pics and menu for Ember I had the feeling this is more like the vibe Oceania might be going for. I apologize that I cannot seem to paste in their menu but you could easily google. We like both restaurants and are not always in the mood to spend over $100 per person at the steakhouse. Grille is still upscale but much cheaper (generally,) with a more airy, modern vibe. And this is an example where serving hamburgers is not comparable to McDonalds and Ember Mac and cheese has lobster in it and the Fish and chips is using Chilean sea bass. We very much enjoyed Jacques on Riviera and lament its removal on the new ships but knowing Oceanias commitment to food, I think this can be a nice venue just a different taste than Jacques. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLibra Posted April 12, 2023 #153 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The Vista GDR menu appears to have incorporated selected Jacques options into their dinner menu. Time will tell if the selections will rotate daily. This is definitely an interesting option for those who love Jacques. https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2023-04/grand-dinning-dinner-sample.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woofa Posted April 12, 2023 #154 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Best Fish and chips I ever had was at Redfish, Bluefish. Shack on waterfront in Victoria. Halibut > Salmon > Cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More options than we saw on Riviera in January. But we also did have Jacques selections and the chicken was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted April 12, 2023 #156 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Where will I find French onion soup, dover sole and crepe suzzettes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woofa Posted April 12, 2023 #157 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Alas, probably only on Riviera and Marina. On the plus side both those ships are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted April 12, 2023 #158 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Good...will be on the marina in November 23 and October 24... Yes we were on the Riviera in the Carib in Jan. Beautiful ship, excellent food but now she is in Asia. No plans here to go to Asia. Too bad Vista did away with my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDR multiple times. Yum. Must have excursions and activities before 6 each day. Then can eat. And, if it’s your want, all the new drinks they’ve added. And don’t forget the new bakery and enhanced tea time. As they say, it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mauibabes Posted April 15, 2023 #168 Share Posted April 15, 2023 @ChadnKate I think you were on Marina to South America in Dec/Jan with our friends and travel buddies Doug and Karen. We joined them in Buenos Aires around Antarctica to Santiago. It looks like you are on Vista October 16 when we will all be aboard again. Looking forward to cruising on Vista with you and Doug and Karen. Mauibabes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we just warm up your spot on the ship. 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
