robbykapnj Posted December 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Has anyone tried this free specialty dining venue? Is it worth missing a night in the main dining room for dinner? Are food options here for dinner different than what is offered for lunch? Has anyone stopped by for pre-dinner appetizers and then gone to dinner in the main dining room?

skyhawk352 Posted December 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I went there for dinner twice on the recent 12-night Caribbean sailing. The salad/appetizer was buffet style, dinner was served, and then dessert is buffet. The menu was the same both nights. Personally? I thought the food was okay, but I felt the dining room had a better selection. I didn't take a picture of the menu, but here was an assortment of 6 or so items for an entree, plus 3 'specialty' options that you could pay more for. Their known for their 2lb lobster, which was lower in cost in the Solarium Bistro than in the MDR. Larger too. They don't officially have lunch, but more of a brunch menu we found. Hope that helps..

CaroleV Posted December 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I would not skip the dining room for the bistro but would have pre dinner snacks in the Windjammer. Dinner there looked quite nice. It opens at 5:30 & since we were only 1 floor down I would stop in some nights just to look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy jones Posted December 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If you like Mediterranean food, it is worth a look if the MDR menu does not appeal to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted December 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We liked this venue a lot. The dinner (ordered off the menu) was very good, and i like have the various options offered at the buffet part of dinner. As mentioned, it is also open for brunch. Away from the crowds of the Windjammer, but with not quite that broad selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted December 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I couldn't find it at the Windjammer, but at the Solarium Bistro, they had yogurt parfait for breakfast. I loved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbrandon Posted December 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Solarium Bistro was our favorite. It's tucked away from everything else so it's like our hidden gem and we look forward to eating there again next week. There's a lot of lower calorie healthy options on the menu.

Pattyblueii Posted December 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The dinning room is much better. Don't waste your time in the bistro!! Food and service is much better anywhere else on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
