Day 6

 

Hooked.  I didn’t really have pictures of the restaurant so I figure why not!  It is very bright during the day as it sits above the Solarium Bistro.

Day 6 Hooked Lunch

 

Keeping it semi lite lunch today!  The clam strip is house made with chopped clams and lobster meat.  The lobster salad is mostly claw meat.  Tasty but the tail is better!

Interesting floor pattern in that last pic...............Guess they don't know what a straight line looks like?

Not the typical way to join two different floors together.

I will let you know.  I was invited to go back to Chops to give them another try on the last day.  I was told it’s going to be fantastic.  
 

There is nothing wrong with the food it’s good food, not like FineCut WOW, it’s good.  But the service has been going down hill for a while now.   Lunch on the first day was just meh … the final straw was when the server made a big circle on the tip section and told me he appreciate for anything additional.  

 We were on Symphony in Oct and there were 7 of us.  We had the best waiter in Chops that we have ever had.  I think his name is Michael, but I am not sure.  He was so good that we asked on the second formal night, if we could come back the last night.  There were no reservations available, but he worked his magic and got us a table for that night.  

On the formal night, I asked about surf N turf, and he said sure and asked everyone if they wanted lobster tails in addition to the steak.  He brought 2 to each of us who wanted them.  

 

He also worked some magic with getting us wine we asked about and it became part of our 5 daily allowance for being D+.  I would love to have him again on Allure or Harmony which are my next 2 cruises.  We all did tip him, but he never mentioned a single word about tipping.

I am all for extra tipping!  But please don’t ask / hint/ suggest / circle at the end when you did the bare minimum especially it’s lunch and I only asked for an extra mushroom soup 😆

I don't think anyone should ask/hint/suggest an extra tip.  I would be tempted to not tip extra if I had that kind of service. The server already got a tip, albeit not that large, with the package.

There are no lines… there might be person or two in front of you getting food but that’s about it.

Have they had the bread puddings with the vanilla sauce?

There’s a different type of bread pudding pretty much every other day!

Mr Green Bathing Suit because he had the luck of the Irish today.  They should have had the guys flop off a chair or table to give them a little extra height.

You are correct!  The skinny young dude came in second.  It actually hurts.  He went in all white but when he came out he was pink on the front!

Nothing that the Beverage package couldn't cure.
