martyap Posted January 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2018 My October, 2018 Symphony cruise planner is giving me the option to reserve dinner at the Solarium Bistro. We have had breakfast/lunch in the Solarium on the Allure. What would dinner be like and why are there reserved times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Solarium Bistro is considered a specialty restaurant, even though is is no extra cost. Buffet for starters and desserts, entrees are made to order. Only two entrees (lobster and lamb) are extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted January 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Solarium Bistro gets mixed reviews for dinner we have dined there on three occasions and Always been very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorben-Hendrik Posted January 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We did not like it. Not much choice either with the buffet or the main choice....(n) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjh8842 Posted January 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I am on symphony in 2019. Are the reservations showing up as free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted January 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I LOVE the appetizer buffet in Solarium Bistro, so much that I don't even order an entree, but make an entire meal of the appies, soups, salads and desserts. YUM. (It is mostly seafood and mostly mediterranean recipes, emphasis on Greek. If you don't like the sound of that, you may not like the Solarium Bistro.)

Good to hear :D My wife and I aren't MDR folks...for dinner we just do the Windjammer or a specialty here and there. I made three reservations at the Solarium Bistro for our upcoming Harmony cruise....simple for us is always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered an entree the first time there but now just enjoy the appetizers, soup etc. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrcards Posted January 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thought I read somewhere that the Mahi Mahi is no longer on the entrée menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleophus12 Posted January 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We really enjoyed our dinner in the Solarium. It was relaxed, unrushed, and relatively quiet. And the food we ordered was very good. We actually wished we had done it earlier in the cruise so we could book it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And increased the upcharge for the lobster! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
