Any Recent Menus?

[lauraleigh9mm]

Hi! I have been looking all over the net for some pics of recent menus (specifically the Muse). If anyone has any they can post I would greatly appreciate it. 

[sea bright]

I posted pics of the Muse La Dame and Silver Note menus on 2/13 in a thread entitled something like  Dawn- Silver Note and LaDame.

Thanks

Here’s a few from the Muse last month 

 

I just realised how few of the menus I actually copied but I have a ton of photos of the dishes we enjoyed. We really did enjoy the range of food onboard at all the restaurants 

 

The Grill

The fantastic Pizza restaurant Spaccanapoli

 

 

Indochine - one of our favourites and the menu changes every 3-4 days 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silver Note

Ha - were just “all inclusive” drinkers so never bother with the wine list - just let them know the styles you like and they’ll give you some options

 

We really enjoyed the included wines as well - lots of varieties and good level of quality

 

As diverse as any we’ve encountered and the servers were more than happy to locate a bottle of our favourites when they weren’t immediately available in a restaurant

Oh how lucky you are finding wine that you can drink from the inclusive pour.😁

How is the steak in Atlantide (the Main Dining room) these days? On previous cruises it tasted, for lack of a better word, “steaky”. Very strong tasting and the chicken was sometimes rubbery. 
One neat service they offer is if you order a bottle of wine from the list and don’t drink it all, they will save and store it for you and bring it to any dining venue you’re at the next evening.

I just saw the What to eat/drink and what to avoid thread. Apologies, I should have posted my question there. 

[goofysmom99]

I'll try asking here before opening a separate thread - is there anyone who has firsthand experience with gluten-free (celiac) dining on Silversea?  There is virtually nothing on any of the menus posted above.  Would that mean that every single meal (except maybe breakfast) would have to be something off-menu and/or preplanned?  Seriously considering SS for next year but am apprehensive about every meal having to be preplanned.  Are there GF hamburger buns so you can just decide to have a burger?  GF bread for a sandwich/toast? I've been known to bring my own but don't know what SS will necessitate.  Yes, I read the dietary blurbs on the website but doesn't really describe daily GF life to me.  Hoping someone with celiac has experience to share.  TIA

The steak in Atlantide almost brought me to tears. Never before have I encountered such a noble beast as a Limousin being toppled and extend such anguish upon me. Several diners on the surrounding tables commented upon the fact that my teeth just weren’t up to the job and urged me to send it back. One thing I Will never do is waste the flesh of a magnificent beast but this is the closest I have ever come to turning vegetarian. I’ve spent much time pondering upon it since.

I agree, we were on another cruise of Silversea—the steak just wasn’t top grade.  We tried it twice and never ordered it again.

Not only not top grade, It left me questioning why such a magnificent beast should be sacrificed in order to produce something so inedible. It played on my mind. I’m a reluctant carnivore and never waste meat but that is the closest I’ve ever been. We have had 2 SS cruises over 17 nights and this was our only experience of Atlantide butNever again.

Thanks for the feedback. Dare I ask, was the steak better at other venues? Or, should I ask, where can my husband expect to get a good steak onboard?

[Daveywavey70]

We had steaks in La Dame, Kaiseki and Hot Rocks (all fillet from memory) and they were all superb.

I've been disappointed by the Ethiopian food aboard.  The doro wot, ti'hilo, and beyainatu they served just wasn't up to my standards.  I've been to a number of Ethiopian restaurants in Washington DC and elsewhere, such as the Red Sea and Meskerem.  They know how to make proper injera bread.

[Tothesunset]

Probably the best Ethiopian food is found in Ethiopia. 

 

Of course, there they call it food.

The problem is that you have this one data point: one night, in one restaurant, on one ship, on one cruise. It's possible that the steak in Atlantide is consistently worse than the other venues on Silversea ships, but since all your other steaks in other venues were good, that there was an issue with the steak in Atlantide for that ship around that time. Perhaps it was a supplier issue. Perhaps an issue with the freezing or defrosting of the meat. Perhaps an issue with the butchering in the kitchen. I'm not trying to justify or excuse Silversea; you were served a bad meal. I'm just saying there's no way to make a general determination that steaks in Atlantide are to be avoided from this one visit.

Other than the numerous people that have said the same.

Well, that makes it more than one data point! 🙂  Is this just the steaks in Atlantide, across multiple ships and multiple different cruises?

[Daveywavey70]

I Had a conversation on that cruise with somebody else that had had the same Limousin cote a l'os who found it inedible too. I Have also heard many other comments on here of Atlantide steaks in general. You do have to be spectacularly bad to mess up a fillet but some cuts take a lot more skill. Ive always talked about how incredible the food is on SS and that really is the only bad meal that i've had. 

I Don't have access to the original pic right now but I have just grabbed a screenshot of it from my holiday video but you get the Gist.

You mean "Gristle"

And perhaps it was just rubbish.

It does happen.

[pavementends]

Not being familiar with butcher's cuts in all languages I found (via Google) that a cote a l'os is a sirloin with a bone attached.

 

So not one of those cuts that chefs are want to push for "flavor" as opposed to tenderness, like, for example, a flat iron steak. It SHOULD be adequately tender and if not there is cause for disappointment.

 

I do seem to remember being disappointed by a steak on a recent cruise. I expect to give it another chance in a cruise coming up.

 

As another data point, I made a special reservation to try a bistecca alla Fiorentina when in Florence. It was big- really big- but not particularly tender.
