Portofino Menu?

[bunnytails2000]

Can anyone tell me what is on the Portofino Menu? Is it basically the same as the dining room except it is served with a higher level of service and more intimate setting? We are a very close knit family of 5 and we would have to send our youngest daughter (9) to Johnny Rockets and even though I'm sure she'd have a great time with Ocean Adventure I'm wondering if the experience is really that much better than the dining room. My oldest daughter wants lobster...is that offered in the dining room or at Portofinos? We are traveling on the Voyager on spring break. Thanks for your help.

The very best lobster is in Portofinos. It is part of the Seafood Skewer. The food, service and ambiance in Portofinos is far superior to that in the dining room.

No - it is a totally seperate menu [that never changes] and a much nicer dining environment where you are not rushed.

Just returned from Western Caribbean on Explorer of the Seas. Our family (group of 10) throughly enjoyed the dining experience at Portofinos, it is very elegant and delightful. If you plan on going, be sure to make your reservation early in the cruise.

we just got off AOS and did Portofinos. My husband's filet was fantastic, and I had the seafood skewer. I could not eat the salmon, it was very fishy. Lobster was small. Our lobster in the main dining room was excellent. It was very relaxing, beautiful, and the presentations of the food in Portofinos was great.

We too just got off AOS..and dined at Portifinos..

 

It is a seperate menu, much more gourmet and elegant..

 

I had the Veal for dinner and my boyfriend had the lobster skewer..both were delicious...

 

I also highly recommend the chilled soup..it was a gazpacho type soup with scallops and avacado..very very good..

 

This was well worth the $ 20.00

 

They even gave us chocolate covered strawberries after our desserts..

We went there on the 2nd day at sea ( Thur) which was formal night..and we did dress up...much more relaxed since we werent running around all day in port..

 

When you get on the ship..go directly to Portofinos ( deck 11)...and make sure to make your reservatoins..they fill up FAST!!!

On AOS Aruba route, Tuesday and Wednesday are the days I would go to Portofino. Sunday is boarding night, Monday and Thursday are the formal nights (which I love), Friday is the night they serve lobster in the main dining room, and Saturday is the last night (and if you like your tablemates, you won't want to miss the good-byes)

We did the same thing last week. Tuesday night is a good night. Since you are in Aruba until 1:00 you can get an early dinner and then hit the night life and walk around rather than getting out of the dinning room at 10:00.
