Fabulous lunch at The Porch on The Reflection

[Travrat]

Just wanted to share a great experience we had at lunch in The Porch. Numerous appetizers and raw bar items to choose from. Excellent service and a beautiful view overlooking the sea made it that much better. Highlights were the snapper ceviche, Piri Piri shrimp (just delicious) and the branzino with capers, olives and tomatoes. My husband enjoyed the tuna tartare and lobster roll. Lobster bisque not as good as the one at Murano.

What was the cost per person, please? And what was the cost for the seafood tower, if you recall?

Looks delicious!  One of my favorite things about Reflection is the Porch.  Wish all the S class ships had this venue.  We will be on Solstice in March and sadly, no Porch.

It cost $30 pp + $15 additional for the seafood tower. $15 for 2 not per person. I thought it was well worth it for a nice leisurely sit down lunch on a sea day.

Was it for lunch on port days?

I think it might have been available Port and sea days. We ate there on a sea day. They make it difficult to get a reservation 

They day it’s booked when you call reservation # on cruise but it is half empty. I guess they just don’t have enough staff which is not right seeing as though there are so few sit down lunch options 

Try making reservation on app prior to your cruise

We also enjoyed a meal at The Porch on our last Reflection cruise while watching Greek islands pass by. We enjoyed the Seafood Tower (cold lobster, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and seafood salad) as an appetizer followed by lobster bisque and a lobster roll. The mussels are the tastiest I've ever had and everything else was also quite good. Most passengers never find The Porch which is hidden on Deck 15 next door to The Lawn Grill Club. Seek it out if you like seafood. For just $30, you'll be glad you did.

Most of the restaurants are located on Deck 5. Lawn Club Grill and The Porch are on Deck 15. While the food in the Main Dining Room was quite good, we ate at the Lawn Club Grill and The Porch as a change of pace. The cover charges run $15 to $50, but discounts of 10% to 50% can be found most nights at one or more of the venues --- depending upon the current bookings. You'll find representatives from the restaurants each morning outside of the Oceanview Cafe on deck 14 at breakfast and sometimes at lunch. Ask them about any available discounts.

Going to try although my husband is allergic to shellfish

We loved the Lawn Club Grill also!  One reason we loved the Silhouette or Reflection. Glass blowing nice, on the other S class ships, but if you have done it one that is enough for me.

Good idea.  Many options at the Porch that do not have shells.
