Breakaway Zakarian Chef's Table Info/Review?

[JTLuvsMartinis]

Hi there,

 

I'm sailing on the Breakaway on 12/1, and Geoffrey Zakarian is scheduled to be on board during the trip.

 

I heard that there was a special Chef's Table hosted by Zakarian during the 11/3 voyage. Can anyone share more information on the Chef's Table experience? If you attended, was it worth it?

 

I appreciate any information you can share. Thanks in advance!

So far all I've heard is the price, $130 pp. They said it was offered twice during the week, and that there was a waiting list. That was posted on the 11/3 Breakaway roll call by someone on the ship at the time. Hopefully you'll get some reviews in the next couple of days. :)

We posted a quick overview of the meal in another post - http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=40716807. But our 30 second take is, if you were planning on going to Ocean Blue anyway and are a big wine drinker then yes you'll likely enjoy the Chef Table experience. If you want a unique dining experience, time with Mr. Zakarian, or a good value you'll probably be best to avoid it. The food is standard Ocean Blue offering but in a tasting menu fashion (eg more courses, smaller servings) so just look at other Ocean Blue reviews for comments on food quality.

 

Note they did not offer a Officers OR regular Chef Table experience on our cruise so this may be your only chance for a "special" meal.

Thanks much for sharing the information and the review!

Wow! He'll be a the trip?! I'd say take the tickets, since it'll be you and maybe 4000 other people trying to get a spot!

 

Although I didn't enjoy Ocean Blue's menu. The food was mediocre, and greasy!!!!
