Catperson Posted September 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2005 My husband and I are planning on dining at Chops and/or Portofinos on our upcoming cruise. My question is do they have tables for two or will we be seated with other people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverTheCat Posted September 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2005 You will most definitely be at your own table. Have fun! Both are fabulous and are more than worth their cost!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldsbestcandles Posted September 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2005 When making reservations can you request a table by the window or do they not accommodate those kind of requests? Just curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margord Posted September 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Do you know how much these restaurants costs? Marilee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW325 Posted September 29, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Portifino's was $20 per person and that included tip. We had a table for two on the Empress of the Seas a few weeks ago. We thought the food was only marginal but it was nice to sit alone for at least one meal during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xranger39@aol.com Posted September 29, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2005 If you reserve as soon as you board, you will have your choice of days and times. You can definetely get a table for the 2 of you and ask for a seat by the window. But just remember not to reserve too late in the evening or it will be completely dark and you won't see anything! I think the earliest reservation you can make is 6:00, that was on AOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascarfans_wny Posted September 29, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Just curious -- what are the latest reservations available ? We're considering doing Portofino after our 2pm-8pm stop in San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meripour Posted September 29, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2005 We had 9:30 reservations. We have ate at both and the food was excellent and it was a very intimate experience. My only recommendation about your request would be to sit at the back of the restaurant, unless you eat early and sitting in the front section gives you a table by the window. It gives you less foot traffic by your table. The other thing re Chops was that the kitchen is open at the front, which makes the tables too bright due to the lights from the kitchen. We preferred the dimmer intimacy that comes from sitting in the rear of the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
