Paulxyz2004 Posted January 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We're going to do one specialty on Harmony. Jamie's or Chops? I've had mixed experiences at Chops and have never done Jamie's. Thx!! I can´t comment on the Harmony, but I´ve been to both on other ships and while I liked chops I absolutely loved Jamie´s. I didn´t even plan on going to Jamie´s, but I let them Lure me in with a discount;) anyway I loved it soooooo much, I ended up going there 5 nights.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascol Posted January 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Two totally different experiences. Chops is a somewhat formal setting. Jamie's is much more casual. Last cruise on Anthem with regards to food taste/quality (which I realize is very subjective), Chops was good, Jamie's was GREAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted January 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We were on the Harmony transatlantic. We went to all the specialty restaurants, except Chops. Really enjoyed our dinner at Jamie's, and also loved 150 Central Park. You can't go wrong with Jamie's. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealDeal Posted January 23, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 23, 2017 You're all confirming my thoughts...to go w/Jamie's. My last experience at Chops was not great by any stretch of the imagination. Have never tried Jamie's. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenjls Posted January 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2017 On Harmony last week, four of us got the filet at Chops and all four of us thought it was delicious. The only thing better the whole week was the filet for two at 150 Central Park - it was melt in your mouth sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie21 Posted January 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ate in Jamie's on anthem and enjoyed it very much . Had dinner in chops on anthem , harmony and ovation and had a first class experience each time. If it's only one I would do chops but my advice is push the boat out and do both! Jamie's lunch menu is very similar to their evening menu and a good deal cheaper. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSLeesburg Posted January 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We missed both Jamie's and Chops on HOTS, but do have to say that we loved 150 Central Park! We have eaten in Chops twice, and I would pick 150 over it any day... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted January 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a current review of Harmony from last week (see signature below)... I've already reviewed Jamie's and Chop's. Jamie's here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=52044801&highlight=jamie%27s#post52044801 Chop's hands down was the best specialty restaurant on Harmony last week, followed so very closely by Wonderland. Jamie's was at the bottom and a real let-down. GF has been to Jamie's in the UK and was really looking forward to it and we walked out extremely disappointed... had better pasta at Olive Garden for example. Sorry to say I felt the same way on Quantum 2 years... I'll take Giovanni's on all other ships over Jamie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate at Jamie's on Harmony and we're extremely disappointed from horrible service to OK food when it finally arrived. It took 1 hour for our appetizer to get to us. We too would take Giovanni's over Jamie's hands down. Chops had good food, but after our main meal arrived we didn't see our waiter again until we flagged him down for our bill 40 minutes later. We are giving them both a chance in March, since these experiences where from November, but our fingers are crossed that things will go better.

jpuglvr Posted January 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just on Harmony last week and Jamie's was our best specialty by far. Wonderland and 150 were the others we did and we all enjoyed the food at Jamie's the best. We had a very cool Scottish server who took exceptional care of us!

TrojanUSC Posted January 24, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Chops was fine on Harmony a few weeks ago. Nothing special. Jamie's was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are giving them both a chance in March, since these experiences where from November, but our fingers are crossed that things will go better. I went to Jamie's twice on Harmony. The food was great both times but the service inconsistent. It was great the first time and horrid the second time. We were seated for 10 minutes before being approached by the waiter. Bread came after 12 minutes and water after 15 minutes. We had long delays between courses as well. The restaurant was packed and it didn't seem like there was enough staff. It was even worse for the table next to me. They were seated before our entrees arrived. They received bread and water after everyone at my table was finished with our entrees, which was about 20 minutes later.

Hoopster95 Posted January 24, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We're going to do one specialty on Harmony. Jamie's or Chops? I've had mixed experiences at Chops and have never done Jamie's. Thx!! Truly interesting at the varying responses... and even on the same cruise week! Goes to show you how subjective this topic is... in other words without photos or samples anyone's written opinion... including mine... is useless when it comes to food. You'll just have to try it yourself and come back and let us know how it worked for you. Focusing on your comment regarding "mixed at Chops" and ":never done Jamie's". If you're looking for a fun and excellent one-of-a-kind experience, something you can't do on land, look really hard at Wonderland. Superb and fun experience, it was an entertaining show in itself, and the venue has a great view/atmosphere compared to Jamie's. There are a zillion Italian restaurants on land, so Jamie's is not all special even if you do end up praising the meal itself. Just a thought :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a free specialty dinner from our TA & I don't think it will cover Wonderland. It actually specifies Chops, but I'm assuming I'll be able to use it at Jamie's since it's less expensive. Will find out next week! And, yes, interesting about the wide array of opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
