kayfabe Posted September 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2009 my wife and I are booked on the nov nine solstice sailing I need some feedback on Murano and the Tuskin grill Planning on spending her birthday at one and perhaps the other the first night out as the MDR tends to be a bit disorganized then. Obviously the info on the celeb site all looks fantastic so I could use some thoughts from those of you who have actually experienced them both neither of us are wine drinkers so its more about which one is just a "better" experience thanks bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate four times at both Murano and Tuscan Grille, and three times at Silk Harvest. They are all terrific venues. Murano leaning towards French preparations and very polished. Tuscan a bit more casual and with Italian influence. Of course Silk Harvest is the Asian restaurant. We had dinner in Murano for my DH's birthday and it was fabulous. So for a special occasion, I think I would choose Murano. Though I doubt you could go wrong with either one, just depends on your tastes.

TG is over rated compared to Murano's but that is my feelings not everyone's. o prefer these places for formal night also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted September 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2009 We also would prefer Murano to celebrate a special occasion. The food and the preparation are excellent. A show in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nps001 Posted September 27, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I totally agree. For a special celebration, Id chose Murano. However, I want to point out that my favorite food on X used to be the goat cheese souffle from Murano---it is not the crab appetizer from Tuscan Grill.

Cruisenouvelle Posted September 27, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yep, the crab appetizer is scrumptious!! Murano's for the 'special' occasions, Tuscan Grille for a great casual Italian dining event. The staff at Tuscan Grille was particularly friendly when we were there in May, but there is likely a whole new staff now.....enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvnga Posted September 27, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Muranos is the fancy special occasion place. The Tuscan Grill is far more casual in decoration. I actually enjoyed my meal there better because the dinner was very good and the view was fantastic sitting by the window looking back toward Fort Lauderdale. I happened to be seated next to a loud table in Murano and my lamb was actually a little cold. The people at the table were not innappropriate, they just had loud voices. On another cruise one could have just the opposite experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richards1947 Posted September 27, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2009 We sailed on the Solstice on 1/09 and on Equinox 8/31/09. Murano is 5 star restaurant. We dined there 4 times and can't say enought about the service and the quality of the food. Definately worth the upcharge of $60.00/couple. Tuscan was good but did not compare to Murano. Enjoy!

Duane T Posted September 28, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2009 :confused: $ 60 per couple ---- is that each time you went ??? Murano is $30 per person Tuscan Grill is $25 per person Silk Harvest was less, $20 per person. Servings were pretty large! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted September 28, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Does anyone have menus for any of the restaurants, or a link to where I might find them? I'm mostly interested in Silk Harvest and Muranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
