Rare Jetswdo Posted July 11 #1 Share Posted July 11 I have our times reserved for sp restaurants on Bliss, at 5:30--- So we will go to the later 9:30 shows---- There is one night where I believe a comedy show will be in main theater at 7:30---- I think it will be on the night that we have Ocean Blue scheduled. Not a deal breaker, and I refuse to rush through that dinner--- But if we happen to be finished by 6:30-6:45- then great. If not, oh well. So I was just wondering, what is a realistic time to be finished with dinner. (We will be on the Bliss, if that makes a difference) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted July 12 #2 Share Posted July 12 Tell your server and/or the maitre d at the restaurant that you need to go fast due to the show. They will do their best to adjust to that. otherwise, I'd say allow 90 minutes to 2 hours for a full meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 12 #3 Share Posted July 12 For a party of 2 - 4 90 minutes is about right. Larger parties will take 2 hours +. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debenson0723 Posted July 12 #4 Share Posted July 12 We ate in Ocean Blue on the Joy a few weeks ago and for 2 people, we were easily finished in under 90 minutes. No rushing at all. But it will depend on the number of diners in the restaurant that evening, how fast the kitchen is moving, etc. But you should be fine to catch the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A relaxing dinner is 2 hours. You can easily eat in 1 hour. The only restaurant with inflexible times is teppanyaki. Zero need to involve the maitre d Edited July 12 by BirdTravels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is just two of us, we can easily be done in 90 minutes or less. When we traveled with family and had a party of 5 people, at least two hours was required.

Distinctive-Destinations Posted July 13 #7 Share Posted July 13 Telling them you do not want dessert up front should save at least 10 minutes or so alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Son Posted July 13 #8 Share Posted July 13 We have found it a good practice to communicate your desire with your server every time. On one occasion, when we were looking for leisurely dinner, we had courses served way too fast, plates being removed before we'd finished, etc. We could have been out of there in 30-minutes if we ate as fast as the server wanted us to. On the other hand, one time everything was on track, timing was great, going to hit the show just right -- but then we couldn't get dessert to save our lives. Talk to your server. They will do everything they can to give you what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
