Has anyone tried the new extra pay restaurants yet?

We used the Grill a couple of times in January. Food good, service excellent It's more good pub restaurant standard than fine dining, so we thought the supplement pretty hefty.

 

The food is certainly better than in the MDR, but it would be quite a feat if it were worse:D

Thanks, that's interesting.

 

Yes £20 a head extra is a lot if it's just pub grub. I thought it might be like the Epicurian on P&O or Quzine etc on Celebrity. The menu looks ok but then menus often do until you see the food on the table.

All the Olsen ships have pay restaurants but I've not tried any of them because they always seem empty. Something else I noticed last time we went on the Black Watch is that during a 25 night cruise, there was not one Indian, Chinese, Thai or Italian evening. They used to be hugely popular evenings.

Well we tried the grill out and it was like the Curates egg, good in parts.

 

The service was dead slow and stop as the restaurant was full for the sail along the Kiel canal. The wine service was even worse, we sat through the starter with not wine and sent back the Sauternes as we had finished dessert by the time it eventually came.

 

The food was pleasant, the surf and turf tasty.

 

Probably would not bother again however a nice enough evening.
