Barwick Cruiser Posted March 22, 2015 #26 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not the menu we had in the Reflection last week It's only offered on the Summit ship currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail8 Posted March 22, 2015 #27 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We tried the new menu the last time we were on the Summit. The steak was very good, ribs ok, and the crepes of course still delicious. Thought is was a great dining experience. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodluckcharlie Posted March 23, 2015 #28 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Can you answer a quick question It is a $7 fee but can you get more than one item (I.e. soup, panini and desert crepe ) or is it $7 for each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted March 23, 2015 #29 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The $7.00 fee is like the cover charge. You can order multiple items off the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan1971 Posted March 23, 2015 #30 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wow...after looking closer at this "new" menu (which BTW was not on Connie last week), I see they will have my salad on Tuesday! Now I'm excited (at least for Tuesdays)! Shawn Hi Shawn - I was on the Constellation for 16 days (NOV 2014). When I dined in Bistro on Five, this menu was available at that time. Not sure why the menu would have been unavailable to you on your recent cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharismaCruiser727 Posted March 23, 2015 #32 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The clan chowder was very good served in a fresh bread bowl. Except for the embarkation day, it was empty every time we ate there (three times total). Celebrity should transform these spaces into a News and Sports Bar venue with large screen TVs and modest 'upcharge' bar food. During NFL season fans are jammed into the Casino bar trying to catch the games. Current News, Soccer, and other sports would also be a draw and Celebrity would increase back end revenue! I mention this on each post cruise survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention this on each post cruise survey. Celebrity is trying that with Cellar Masters on Equinox having transformed that area into GastroBar. When I was on Equinox that bar was pretty empty most nights also, although I think it is a great concept. My guess is many people are still having a hard time paying for food when they can go up a couple of decks for "free" (included) food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuinseog Posted March 23, 2015 #35 Share Posted March 23, 2015 For what it is worth (nothing?), the old menu is still showing on Celebrity's website, though it does show the $7 surcharge. Hoping that the new menu is on the Solstice in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is many people are still having a hard time paying for food when they can go up a couple of decks for "free" (included) food. Just my own personal thoughts on this topic... I think that the menu was "too pricey" and "too fancy" for most people cruising on Celebrity. I am NOT saying that I think Celebrity cruisers cannot appreciate what was offered, but that the price point and the exotic offerings were not in sync with what cruisers are willing to pay for. While this concept appealed to me and a segment of the Celebrity cruisers, the appeal is not enough to keep the place busy or sell large amounts of the food. I personally think that a better imagined "English Pub" concept with pub favorite food items, associated beers, and a variety of sports television screens that would pull people into the bar would have been the way to go. My apologies for the "off topic" comment. Please resume the current program already in progress.... Edited March 23, 2015 by vulcan1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stateroom_Sailor Posted March 23, 2015 #37 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The only thing I really liked in the buffet was the Wok, which of course is freshly cooked to our taste. We thought we liked the Bistro before, now we're REALLY going to love it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW Cruisers Posted March 24, 2015 #38 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi Shawn - I was on the Constellation for 16 days (NOV 2014). When I dined in Bistro on Five, this menu was available at that time. Not sure why the menu would have been unavailable to you on your recent cruise. Yes, that's very puzzling. The server we had said he had never seen the Salade Niçoise (he was new), and nor had the other server who worked at Bistro on 5 for the past year or two... Hopefully this menu will be available on the Solstice in August (fingers crossed). Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake Posted March 24, 2015 #39 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Great move for Celebrity. Menu looks wonderful. Another Win !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 24, 2015 #40 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Everyone, I think the new Bistro Menu looks great ! I hope it tastes as good as it looks. I'm especially pleased that Celebrity retained many of the old favorites, while adding many new and tempting items. I thought I had read, that the Bistro menu updates were expected to be introduced fleetwide by the end of April, but I'm unable to confirm this. To the member asking about Equinox - The new Bistro menu was *not* available in the first week of February. Hopefully a recent Equinox guest can share an update with us. If not, I'm sailing on Equinox in 3 weeks, and will be sure to provide an update. Hope this helps ! Edited March 24, 2015 by Host Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 24, 2015 #41 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Great value for a lunch even at $7, love the different crepes.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-O Posted March 24, 2015 #43 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The new menu does look good and just might entice me to try it again. As for the old menu, if I wanted craps, I would either go to Paris or to the Casino. :rolleyes: As for the Porch, they really need to shake it up a bit to get me to go back.

Purplsmurf Posted March 24, 2015 #45 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Does anyone know if they will still be offering gluten free crepes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted March 26, 2015 #46 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I have been a fan of Bistro on Five since launched on the Solstice. Whether $5 or $7 I found the old menu a good value for a nice lunch, and the crepes have always been excellent. I will look forward to sampling a good portion of the expanded menu while on my next Celebrity cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyd Posted March 26, 2015 #47 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Do they have a gluten free menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan1971 Posted March 26, 2015 #48 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Do they have a gluten free menu? Probably not a separate gluten free menu, but if items on the menu are or can be made gluten free, the menu will have that designation as they do in the MDR.

Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus on the T-Mobile 4G LTE Network using Tapatalk Pro The "new" menu we got on Summit 3/14/15 didn't have any designations about GF. My MIL who is celiac was able to ask what was gluten free, and most of the fillings and salads were gluten free (of course without croutons and crepe!!). She enjoyed one of the chicken fillings and chef's salads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In looking back at what I wrote, it would have been more appropriate to say "should have a GF designation" versus "will have a GF designation". While I remember the menu, I wasn't looking specifically for the GF designation the day I was dining in Bistro on Five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
