Pinnacle Grill Lunch

[HALcruiser2001]

Did not see this on the sticky's or thread search....

Does Pinnacle Grill have lunch?  They have a lunch menu.

Do they offer lunch reservations once on board (they are not available via manage booking or Navigator)?

[oldbluff]

Yes, Pinnacle Grill is open for lunch 12-1pm on sea days only.

 

Reservations are made onboard in person, i.e. not using the Navigator app.

Yesterday on the Eurodam my travel mate and I walked in to Pinnacle Grill for lunch on Panama Canal day after transit into Gatun Lake and before coming back out, as had been recommended by someone on CC. We were the ONLY customers for lunch!!! Treated like royalty, fun talking with Japar and rest of staff in relaxed mode. Great food and setting. Bonus, from our window seat got to watch the tenders deploy for shore excursions and then come back to be hoisted up. Upcharge of $15pp was best nickel&dime ever spent, a memorable experience.

Best deal in town, or rather ship.

You can also book via navigator once onboard. Reservation times are spaced every 15 minutes btw noon and 1pm. Their lunch is wonderful!

I don't know if it ever fills up for lunch but a good time to try is when a port is cancelled.  They usually start taking reservations almost immediately.

This is all great, thanks so much!

Good to hear as the first sea day we have will be wife's 60th and she really does not eat much after 3pm.

Only on sea days ..

WannaSea,

 

Did they charge extra for a second appetizer?

[vicnsue]

Does anyone have a lunch menu they would share? We on on the Eurodam in February and this looks interesting.

Pinnacle Grill lunch secret - if you ask nicely, there is a good chance you can get a dessert off the dinner menu. I got a key lime pie last time and it was truly the best I ever had. Could not eat it all because the other courses filled me up. 

 

We have only been to PG for lunch, never for dinner. We will be doing two PG lunches on our cruise next week.

Speaking for the koningsdam it didn’t appear that they did at lunch. I only had one app and a main but the guy next to ordered 3 apps and a main.  Nothing was said about an extra charge but of course I didn’t see his bill either.

As requested:  Pinnacle Grill Lunch Menu

[Greysandy]

We eat lunch in the Pinnacle quite often on sea days since we are 4* so it's really a good deal for us ($7.50). We ordered two appetizers but were not charged extra for the additional one. The food is always outstanding, especially the filet with blue cheese, the ciopinno, and the burger. It's more casual during the day and you have more time to chat with the waiters.

What is a typical time frame for lunch in the PG? Would it be safe to book DW a spa treatment at 2pm on the same afternoon, or would that be cutting it too close?

Pinnacle lunch is from Noon until 1PM.

I understand that.. My question was pertaining to the typical duration of lunch in the PG, can we reasonably expect to be in and out of there in an hour, or should we expect to be there longer?

I'm trying to determine when I can safely book a spa treatment for DW that afternoon.

Oh, sorry!  If you got in right at Noon you should be good to go for 2PM at the spa.

I agree.  It takes a while so I wouldn’t book any later than 12.  I think I ate there 3 times for lunch on my recent cruise.  Two times were at least 1.5 hours.  The other was just over an hour.  I’m not one to mull over the menu for an hour so if you are add more time.

I am a speed reader on menus, so that would be a drag.
