Retreat guests - name one non-Luminae restaurant you would visit during your voyage

[richczarnecki]

I hear great things about Luminae but it might be nice to venture out one night to another restaurant.  What one restaurant would you pick if you were to cheat on Luminae for a night?  🙂

[islabahia]

Murano

[Happy Cruiser 6143]

Murano.

 

[Saturngrl]

Lawn Club Grill, if you are on Silhouette or Reflection.  Murano is a close second. 

[mahasamatman]

Depending on the menu that night, I might pick Blu.

Eden hands down!

[peanut head]

Sushi on 5

[mac_tlc]

Eden, no question .

After a few nights in Luminae on BEYOND...we happily escaped to BLU...much nicer menu, fresher food including a bread  basket,  and 4 star service!  No upcharge.

 

We also really enjoyed Raw on 5....go early with res.  Much more than sushi! Upcharge.

What ship?

[groryjm]

Well definately not Murano...... Too much flare and the food while good is only good for once per cruise as the menu is so fixed,

We usually enyoy Sushi or the Porch for a lunch and Tuscan or Lawn club for one or two evenings but with Luminae the menu changes daily.

Yet to  try Eden and looking forward to it but having cruised in RS and above with unlimited speciality dinning it is nice to go back to Luminae where the menu at least changes every day...

I await the flames

On a recent 12-night sailing, this was our breakdown:

 

2 dinners at Luminae 

3 dinners at Murano

3 dinners at Tuscan

1 dinner at Le Petit Chef

2 dinners at Sushi on Five

1 evening at the buffet...LOL.  So yeah Luminae not the slam dunk it used to be.

Ascent

Also a Blu fan, bigger range and better choices than Luminae.

Murano & Sushi on 5  are favorites of mine and DH.  We have avoided Tuscan Grill for the past 2 cruises because we have been less than impressed with the meals we ordered (couple of small pieces of lobster in the lobster rigatoni; meatball appetizers were tasteless;  quality and cooking of steak unacceptable) but others have had a great dining experience there.  We often find meals in Luminae not to our taste but we like the ambience, so we order from other menus to be served in Luminae.  And on occasion, we truly enjoy what OV has to offer for dinner.

Recently cruised on Beyond ate at Eden and the food was excellent but lacked the flair it use to have. Had a birthday dinner at La Voyage for my DW and was definitely the highlight for dining on the cruise. Considering the cost it should be the best.

[RichYak]

Oceanview Cafe with a bottle of wine or two. 

[markeb]

Sushi on 5.

 

Our 10 day cruise was the first time we've not eaten pretty much every dinner in Luminae (other than San Juan with the crazy late arrival time). But we really enjoyed Sushi on 5. Tuscan was fine, but the servings were just too big. Next ship doesn't have Murano.

[jbcallender]

Le Petit Chef was actually very creative and quite good.

Definately on E class ships!  S class Reflection and Silhouette Lawn Club Grill- 

[keysey222]

Fine Cut Steakhouse or anywhere I can get a decent steak. The ones in Luminae aren't up to par in my opinion. I don't eat seafood and I'm far from an adventurous eater, so Luminae's menu isn't always my jam.
