Privée - Degustation Menu

[Robjame]

The Privée experience is no longer limited to the items in Tuscana and Polo. Here is a copy of the Degustation Menu which we experienced last night.The cost is the same - $300 plus gratuity for the use of the room for a total of 10 people.

‘There is a third option Best of Oceania but not sure it has been introduced yet.

Do they add the gratuity to the  room price  ?

 

I am guessing the wine is extra also ?

 

Do they have other Degustation menus to choose  from or just  that one  ?

Thanks  for posting

Not sure of the gratuity as we were invited to this dinner.

‘Yes wine is extra. I believe there may be a wine-pairing choice in the future but this was a Degustation event. Our host provided wine /champagne.

I got the feeling that the chef provided the menu for our host to approve. The choice of entrée covered the most obvious problem. I got the impression that substitutions would not be a normal process though we were asked to suggest side dishes from Tuscana and/or Polo.

Thanks

We have only been there  as a guest  so thought the gratuity  was included in the room rental price

 

Did they change the name  of Toscana  or is it your  spelling 😄

I am an atrocious speller but usually I am able to blame it on spell-check.🤐

There is no gratuity on top of the $300 charge.  You can leave a tip at your discretion.  Besides Polo and Toscana you can choose between these 2 menus.

We had the Degustation menu which was lovely.  I did ask and was allowed to drop the dessert and replace it with the Polo Quintet dessert

I reserved Privee on Rivera this past September for my husband’s birthday.   Cost was $300 which included gratuity.   I chose the Degustation Menu.  I bought the wine and champagne ashore and paid the $25 corkage fee.   The staff serving us that night was amazing and I provided extra gratuity to each.   
 

The Concierge will reach out before the night to confirm the menu selection.   I have heard that some alterations can be made to the menu, but in our case the took the menu as presented.   
 

A real highlight of our trip.   And I would do it again.

The gratuity was extra for the staff as they are at your full attention all evening and provide superior service.  And they also enjoy getting extra cash.

It looks a lot like the items you can order at Jacques, at least the last time I was on the Riviera in April 2022.

We were on a Marina TA in November/December 2022.  In addition to selections from Toscana and Polo, we were offered 2-1/2 new menus.  One was Degustation, the other was Best of Oceania, and the third was Degustation with a wine pairing. (On the other hand, maybe it was the Best of Oceania that offered the wine pairing. 🤷‍♂️)

Gratuity was not added to the room-rental cost.  It's expected that the host will tip the waiter, assistant waiter, & sommelier appropriately.  Bottles of wine that are ordered in Privée, however, will have a gratuity added.  Bottles of wine that are brought to Privée may or may not have a corkage fee added, depending on the sommelier.
