Food to go from the restaurants ???

[raphael360]

Has anyone ever tried to order food 'to go from' any of the restaurants?  

 

I love steak and eggs served in the Wake and would like to get it 'to go' so I can eat it up in the Gallay with a friend who doesn't like the Wake's food options. The same steak and eggs option is not offered via room service.

 

Thank you for the info...

nope, they're not set up for that, unless you're a mega rockstar.  you have to sit down and order whatever from the wake or razzle dazzle.  i guess the crew wouldn't physically stop you from leaving with a plate of food, but that would be a bit weird to do.

I figured that was the answer.  Regarding leaving with a plate of food:  I'm capable of doing that in a heartbeat (and much weirder things too).... 🙂

We did convince them to allow us to get desert to go a couple of times....but they made a point of saying they weren't supposed to.  On the other hand, taking food from The Galley "to go" is easy, regardless of which station it came from....and I don't know if they would prevent your friend from bringing it into The Wake.

He's vegan, I'm carno so it will be an interesting 4 days.  I know both are offered everywhere but the Wake has the best steak and lamb on board.  He can get quinoa anywhere. 🙂

debatable haha - the wake will never be "great," and is the most underwhelming restaurant on the ship (still good, but not something i'm salivating over!)  i think pink agave and extra virgin's steaks and the filet on the test kitchen menu if it's on that version run circles around the wake any day!

yep I enjoyed the lamb in the Wake but steak is better elsewhere.

Agree, the steak at Extra Virgin was sooo much better than the filet I had at The Wake.  Even the steak at Razzle Dazzle was better.

WOW, this is exciting news.  Better steak!  

Thanks everyone 🙂

Is VV like other cruise lines in that you can order multiple items? 

[cantgetin]

You can order as much as you want.

We originally felt the Wake was the worst of the group but they seemed to have upped their game so to speak. I didn't think the Razzle Dazzle steak was good at all, much preferred Extra Virgin.

We tried to get a few desserts "to go" from the Wake one night.

It's the only time someone said "no".

I think the best steak is the ribeye from Pink Agave.

Looking forward to trying that next week!

Try the secret steak in Razzle Dazzle as well.  Funny that the steak restaurant doesn't have the best steak.

What type of steak is it? Tx

I love this picture and can't wait to try it.  

 

As I'm allergic to almost all spices (onion/onion powder, flavor enhancers, etc, and almost all other spices) I can only eat plain 'naked' steak (beef with nothing else added).  The Wake serves up a plain steak without spices upon request so I'm hoping the other restaurants can do the same to accommodate my food allergies.

We have found every restaurant very accommodating regarding allergies.  I'd be greatly surprised if you had any issues.  Just let them know at check in, and your server will confirm again at the table before ordering.  They will then repeat back the allergy instructions when they bring the food to the table.  If the instructions are complex, sometimes a chef will come out to speak with you.

Is that on both ships? I've seen some YouTube videos where the "secret" dish at Razzle Dazzle is butter chicken, which is much less likely to get my attention. Also, any pictures of the secret steak?

On both ships last year we were offered Butter Chicken and a steak as the secret menu items.

Steak and butter chicken are both available on the secret menu. Here's the steak. Sorry for the bad angle, it was ordered by my travel companion and not me.

And here's the Extra Virgin steak. 😋

I asked for to-go at Gunbae and they brought me and my husband a plate! Just walk up and ask we waited like 15min, though our ship was not crowded as well.

Can you please explain the Mega Rockstar exception.
