molsonschooner Posted August 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2016 My son and DIL just got off Allure last week. Chops has been their favourite restaurant for years. This time they were so disappointed. Appetizers were very good, DIL had lobster that was very good but son paid the extra for the top notch steak which he was very disappointed in. They said the deserts were horrible. They will go some place else next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dedosr Posted September 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Giovanni's without a doubt!!! You can go at lunch also for half the price, and just as good. It was half price at lunch when I was on the Oasis and Allure, not sure if it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberlymmj Posted September 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2016 We just got off allure on the 28th and the food in Giovannis was so bad that we sent it back. They also gave us back half of our money. Mourn only saving grace in there was Sunil the waiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy15 Posted September 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 1, 2016 For us, a year ago it was Giovani's. Last week on our Liberty cruise, we chose Chops. The menu seemed to be different than last year at Giovani's and we were not fans. We had a fabulous meal at Chops. Our steaks were cooked to perfection.

bigboffs Posted September 1, 2016 #22 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Although the menus of both are the same fleet wide, the quality of the meal you receive often varies between the ships and even can vary as between different kitchen staff. For example on more than one occasion doing a back to back and visiting the same restaurant on both, when the kitchen staff changed so did the quality of our meal. It seems Chops is more susceptible for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted September 1, 2016 #23 Share Posted September 1, 2016 First, the peppered bacon appetizer is melt-in-your-mouth delicious!:p Second, the filet is perfect medium rare! Don't waste the extra $$ on a hand-rubbed aged steak - not worth it IMO!:rolleyes: Third, I try to avoid over-salted food (due to ankle swelling) while cruising, so a lot of pasta is off limits, as I hear pasta is the most salted food on cruises! Of course, so is shrimp but, hey, who can avoid eating shrimp? Not me!:cool: Enjoy your meal!!!!!!!!!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootch Posted September 8, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 8, 2016 We were told that Chops had the best steaks and red velvet cake....we weren't impressed. We tried Giovanni's and loved it. It's all trial and error to your own preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegoal100 Posted September 8, 2016 #25 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Giovannis without a doubt. Chops not consistent across line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
