Ladysilver Posted September 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2013 As I was putting in our reservation for Chops Grille on Navigator, I noticed this also. My husband does not like wearing a jacket on a cruise. He does not mind a shirt and tie though. Is this dress code enforced? :confused: Dress Suggestion "We suggest smart casual attire in Chops Grille - jackets for men, dresses or pantsuits for women. On formal evenings onboard, formal attire is also appropriate in the restaurant; which includes suits and ties or tuxedos for men and cocktail dresses for women."

Zigggypup Posted September 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Their is no dress code for Chops Grille, just a suggested attire for that evening. So they are not going to enforce a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted September 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I guess it is called the new "business casual" Casual shirt, dress pants, no jeans, no beat up shoes. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nin_man Posted September 7, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I did wear a sport coat and felt overdressed compared to everyone else in Chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNV-IT!!! Posted September 7, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I always wear jeans, a nice button down shirt and a sports coat. Sometimes ill wear a Bow tie or normal tie but not all the time. Jackets are not needed at all. Most of the time I'm the only person wearing one. Sometimes one or two others but most don't. It's not even required at 150 Central Park.

You are in for a treat! Now we are hooked. My husband always wears slacks and a collared shirt. We eat there for both formal nights to avoid packing formal wear. I wear slacks and a nice top also. I can't wait for Chops on our cruise coming up. Already know what I'm ordering.....crab cake, filet w/bernaise sauce, mashed potatoes, and mud pie. I usually get the Chops filet in the main dining room too. Delicious! Enjoy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking forward to trying both!! :D:D:D You're going to like it. Not just the food but the atmosphere and service. We rarely go to MDR anymore, it's Chops/Portofino/Windjammer. We have completely burned out on the loud, hectic, banquet atmosphere of the MDR. Not to insult people who like that, it's just not for us anymore.

Darkingnj Posted September 9, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just returned this morning from Freedom of the Seas, went to Chops Wednesday evening. I wore a button up collared shirt and slacks and we were seated in the very front of the restaurant. Saw three groups of guest that were not dressed per the suggested attire (Shorts, tee shirt) escorted to the back of the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted September 9, 2013 #25 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ditto!!! Even if it is formal night you do not necessarily have to be dressed in formal attire. We actually book the specialty restaurants for formal night so we don't have to go the MDR under-dressed, although that wouldn't stop me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
