tbmrt Posted December 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've been reading complaints about the $5. xtra charge, but didn't find anything about food choices on the Bistro on 5 menu except crepes. What else do they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDBoat Posted December 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The day we ate there they had various sandwiches which were mainly of the panini variety, salads and a soup or two plus the crepes. I had a chicken panini and my husband had the beef one. It came with chips that were rather fancy (not pringles in other words). Plus we shared a nutella, pistachio and banana crepe. It was good food but for the $5 per person plus the suggested tip on top of it, we didn't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nps001 Posted December 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We ate there one night and enjoyed it. We had soup, crepes, and shared a desert. The atmosphere was very nice and the food came out quickly. I think my crepe was Southwestern Chicken, but I am not certain. I do remember they had several that sounded good and it took me a while to decide. Honestly, I think it was well worth the $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accessor Posted December 8, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We dined at the Five one day b/c we were in between lunch and dinner, and did not want to eat at the grill. The food was unremarkable and nothing special. DEFINITELY not worth $5 on a ship that has so many other great venues to dine at. Honestly, if it were free, I would would not go back. The buffet or dining room offers something for everyone, and is far superior in terms of quality of food. As for business, it was a ghost town at the Five...changes will need to be made and a new and improved menu offered before anyone will give this place a second look. The most we noticed dining at any given time we 2-3 tables, which only goes to show they have to rethink the direction and give this place some purpose....

RodPat Posted December 8, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We just got off Solstice today and ate at Bistro the last sea day at lunch. Just wanted to try it. It had been packed the day before when I walked by. While we were there they had to turn people away because they had no more reservations available for hours. The crepes were wonderful, I was not so excited about the panini. We ordered two different crepes and one panini. You could order whatever you liked and no limit to how much you could eat. They also had the soup of the day, which was cream of potato and many different salads. Dessert was very good, I had english trifle, and my husband had cheesecake. The best on the ship says he. Heavy NY style. I would not eat there everyday but once is very nice. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbmrt Posted December 8, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted December 8, 2008 To clarify....Do they charge $5 and then suggest a tip on top of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPat Posted December 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2008 To clarify....Do they charge $5 and then suggest a tip on top of that? Celebrity bills all come with that statement if you want to add a extra tip you can. We just paid the $5 and that was that. Just the way I don't add an extra tip to my bar bill.

LT. DAN Posted December 8, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2008 My girlfriend & I ate there on the 11/23 sailing and we split 3 diff kinds of crepes ( 1 was dessert ) and a ceasaer salad.

Others said the line to get in was out the door and wrapped around the ship four times then the line completly filled the show lounge. The $5 charge is insulting. I can't believe anyone would go.

Rare hcat Posted December 8, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 8, 2008 they should offer some of these items in the buffet at night & they'd have many takers-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
