Yes, they still do have chateaubriand for 2. Our favorite main course at Murano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2022 You can book the 1st night with a discount in the Cruise Planner. Theses reservations often sell out before sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here as I have gotten that dish for one. I order dishes that they prepare table side for the "show". Lobster, chateaubriand, and the crepes balon rouge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBP1 Posted June 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2022 They sometimes have online sales before the cruise, we recently got 10% off doing that on the Equinox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted June 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just commenting on Chateaubriand. I had it for one last week. It was NOT prepared tableside so if that’s a part of the appeal, you may be disappointed. This may be a staffing thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it may be a staffing issue was I recall the piece of meat was carved in front of us and the dishes were prepared table side. I would still order it even if no longer prepared table side. Where was the Murano Lobster prepared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will served table side, but ask your waiter about the quality before you order. The warm water lobster is hit or miss, can be very stringy and almost inedible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinboy Posted June 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 13, 2022 From what I remember ( we haven't cruised since Covid ) they cook the Chateaubriand in the kitchen then carve and plate the balance tableside. The lobster is cooked and plated tableside -- never asked if it was warm water lobster or cold water lobster --- but , it was delicious. Now, about discounts---- Forget the first night-- it's always booked. I mentioned a few times on CC that very often you can get a discount at times during the cruise when the restaurant is not fully booked. There is competition between the restaurants and targets to be met. Also, as soon as you board, go to the restaurant(s )of your choice and try to book for later in the cruise. When the Maitre'd tells you all the prime times are already booked, leave your cabin number and tell him/her to contact you if space comes available. He/She will understand a little smile , meaning ( $$ ) when space comes available. It works every time. Some on CC expressed their displeasure and call it a " bribe ". I call it " Thanks for your help ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, for an extra $29 you can have a lobster from Nova Scotia. The Murano Lobster is Warm Water Tail as menu caption below :- Edited June 13, 2022 by mickey89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieCharlieCharlie Posted June 21, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I have seen and ordered from that menu so many times, and I am sorry I’ve never noticed or maybe just didn’t pay enough attention to the differences on the menu. I’ve always ordered the cooked table side, but next time I will try the Nova Scotia lobster. I’m an Alaskan king crab leg lover, and don’t know enough about lobster. thanks for including the copy of the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseheads4ever Posted June 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’ve did flambéed lobster many times on Silly and Equinox. Cooked table side and was absolutely fabulous.Murano’s rocks. We ended up with a great table side chef. Came back a second night for same meal. He said I gave you more lobster. What’s not to love. had us come for for a $20 lunch fillet and lobster tail. I was over the top with lobster… who says that? Was totally incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_T Posted June 22, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 22, 2022 We pretty much made Murano our MDR last cruise, excellent food and spectacular service every time. There was nothing wrong with the 'warm water' lobster tail either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a warm water tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
