sprockie Posted April 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We are hopping on the Veendam in 10 days. I have a Pinnacle grill question. If I order a vegetarian entre, can I get a petit filet mignon as well on the side (without being charged double)? I'd hate to miss their steak, but their stuffed eggplant dish or their pumpkin risoto sounds amazing. Sounds like a ridiculously trivial question as I type it..........:rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted April 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2018 That would be considered two entrees so they would charge extra for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted April 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You can have as many appetizers (starters) as you wish for the regular surcharge but only ONE main dish. You can order more, but you will be charged more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicalkerry2002 Posted April 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2018 can you get an appetizer size/side of the pumpkin risotto with a steak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestyling Posted April 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We love the bone in rib eye and split it between us. Delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted April 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2018 can you get an appetizer size/side of the pumpkin risotto with a steak? The answer lies somewhere between yes, no and maybe... It is not the norm but you can surely ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted April 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We love the bone in rib eye and split it between us. Delicious Same here. If DH isn’t with me then I have to eat it all alone....... No-wait- they are willing to provide half sized sides of asparagus and mushrooms.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 25, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2018 can you get an appetizer size/side of the pumpkin risotto with a steak? All you can do is ask. I know that a few years ago some people asked for an appetizer portion of the Mac & Lobster main dish and did get it without being charged.

rkacruiser Posted April 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I think people overlook the Bouillabaisse and the Pork Chops on the PG menu. I have found both to be exceptionally good with the Pork Chops being prepared so they remain moist and not dry. I prefer these two entrees over the steaks since HAL changed the providers of the PG beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found both to be exceptionally good with the Pork Chops being prepared so they remain moist and not dry. I prefer these two entrees over the steaks since HAL changed the providers of the PG beef. I tried the Bouillabaisse once and it was tasty, but very small for an entree, I though. It was not in a large bowl, but in a smaller-size soup bowl (about 6 inches across). This was about 4 years ago. Is it larger now? Thanks for any information; I'd like to try it again.

freestyling Posted April 25, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Do you get another entree to share also, since you paid for two dinners, or just the one item? We do this at least twice when cruising and most times the PG manager asks if he can buy us an after dinner drink. We do enjoy the port! It all works out about the same after our Mariner discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most recent experience ordering this dish was in 2015 on the Statendam as we sailed to Singapore on her final HAL voyage. The stew was served in a large bowl and was more than I could finish. Just simply a delicious dining experience in my memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer these two entrees over the steaks since HAL changed the providers of the PG beef. I hear you, but that's almost like going to a great fish house and ordering a burger. While the burger may be awesome, it just seems to defeat the purpose of going to a great fish house in the first place. That's how the PG is to us. While there are certainly other excellent entrees on the PG menu (as you point out), when we go there, we want steak!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the burger may be awesome, it just seems to defeat the purpose of going to a great fish house in the first place.:D Years ago a friend was on his first cruise with us. Every night he would order a soup, caesar salad, NY strip steak and ice cream for dessert - because he said he liked that and would never cook it for himself (he is single). That was fine, until the night we ate in the Pinnacle Grill and he wanted to order the chicken! :eek: I said no, you eat steak here and you can have chicken in the dining room tomorrow! LOL I don't know if he was toying with me but he did order a steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greysandy Posted April 26, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 26, 2018 One of my favorite appetizers from the Pinnacle is the steak tartare. Then I can get lobster and crab but still get the yummy beef. If I order a steak, the ribeye is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
