Oasis Free Speciality Dining - which would you pick

[heatheranderson13]

We were given to us by our TA a free meal for two at one of these places. Chops Grille, Portofino, Giovanni’s Table, Samba Grill or Solarium Bistro.

1. Which would you pick and why?

2. We are on the Western Cruise so which day would you prefer to dine on and why?

 

Thanks in advance!

There is no Portofino.

 

I would prefer Giovanni's because of the wide selection of food available.

With those choices, Giovanni's.

First, what ship are you on? Makes a difference.

Really subjective. I love Chops, but they've really diminished the menu. I've always liked Giovanni's or Portofino's (are there any Portofino's left?). For free, I'd check the menus and pick the one you think is most enticing. Chops is the most expensive, so might want to do that for free and do Giovanni's (if there is one on your ship) for lunch at a lower price. But check the menus. It's free, can't go wrong.

As for the day, it depends on the menu. I like Formal Night menus. My least favorite is Pimiento. Not sure which night that will be. Usually mid cruise somewhere. My second least favorite is Pomodoro, but that's usually the last night so we usually like to be at the MDR. But as I said, it's completely subjective.

OP is on Oasis. Look at the menus for each restaurant and decide which menu YOU prefer, then go there. You are going to get a variety of answers, of which only you can really decide on which menu YOU like best.

Thank u. Yes while I know it is personal I am always curious to hear others reviews and opinions

We also have a free meal from a TA for our November Freedom cruise.

I prefer Chops but that is just me. Hubby was an accountant so he likes to get the most value I.e go for the most expensive. :D

As others have said check the menus before making a decision.

By the way, when seeing your user name it threw me. I was Heather Anderson before marrying. :cool:

Giovanni sounds like it will suit both of you - it's Italian but you can get a good steak there too :)

Another vote for Giovanni's. Amazing.

My husband is very meat and potatoes. We did the five night package and tried chops, Giovanni's and the hibachi. We ate at chops 3 nights he liked it so much!!!
