cusematt4 Posted October 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hi, we are sailing on the wonder and leaning towards 150 Central Park, chops and wonderland for our 3 speciality dinners. what is everyone’s thoughts on the above vs hooked for dinner? If we were to go to hooked for lunch, could we order lobster as an off the menu item? Or is a whole lobster only available at dinner? Is hooked just as good for lunch as it is for dinner? Thank you.

Mother Mary Posted October 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2023 We had hooked for dinner in February. It was the best of all the specialty restaurants. We started with oysters on the half shell. Had clam chowder then lobster (2&1/2 lbs)! With Mac& cheese (not so good) we were FULL! Oh & they serve cheddar biscuits! The best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CaptainBazz Posted October 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2023 We did Hooked last spring...earliest available time was 8.15pm...when we got there the place was empty!...food was mediocre...they just kept bringing lots of it to impress us...go for lunch and don't waste a dinner.

If lobster isnt even listed for lunch and off menu, I personally wouldnt go expecting them to make a off menu item for lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trihawks1 Posted October 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2023 We have reserved a 6 pm for Hooked on Symphony in a couple months. We don’t get “fresh” seafood Per se where we live…mostly red lobster type places. Anyway, we decided that since we have done chops a couple times in the past we wanted to try Hooked as it isn’t on a lot of ships. So…fingers crossed we enjoy the dinner. We are looking forward to the clam chowder, lobster, crab cake, surf & turf, etc. if anyone can give any recent updates on the selections of what they loved or disliked (wouldn’t order again)…please post your opinions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted October 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Keeping in mind food is very subjective, I have been on Wonder twice this year and once last December and Hooked is my second favorite speciality restaurant right behind 150 CP. I found the seafood to be very good and the NE clam chowder is outstanding. Wonderland is my least favorite speciality restaurant on any RCI ship. I think the experience is good but not crazy about the food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBlackDress Posted October 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2023 We had the UDP on Symphony. We did both lunch and dinner. I wasn't that impressed with the lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 8, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Our experience is that the menus are the same. So doesn't matter which meal you eat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted October 8, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 8, 2023 We’ve only eaten there twice once for lunch and once for dinner. They were both good on each occasion but nothing special. If we went again would maybe go for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wouldn't be a bad thing. I was just thinking difference between lunch and dinner menus since there clearly is a difference at some of the specialty restaurants. We've bought the Hibachi lunch and I'm wondering if I should switch it to dinner. Edited October 9, 2023 by zoepipes addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted October 9, 2023 #21 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just now, zoepipes said: Question - Never ever had Hibachi for lunch So without loading a ship dining menu in app hard to tell We have never been for lunch, I’m going to assume it is same We have had Izumi - Sushi for dinner and lunch and that was the same menu Someone who has done Hibachi for lunch would be best to answer correctly 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch is only on sea days, so could be busy On our last Wonder cruise we were second in Q at Izumi on boarding day to get a dinner reservation and it was sold out for the week We ended up doing one lunch and one dinner in Izumi - Sushi instead We had the UDP so could not book time in advance (without the old pay for then cancel trick) for Hibachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Red Lobster has live lobsters in an aquarium in the lobby that you can choose which one you would like for your meal. It doesn't get any fresher than that. Plus Red Lobster has plenty of fresh fish too. We dined in Hooked for dinner on Wonder. The meal was not nearly as good as the meals I have always had at Red Lobster. Hooked Cheddar Bay buscuits were delicious but not quite up to par as Red Lobster's. Hooked served me a very rare piece of salmon. When I showed the server what appeared to be raw salmon from the center of the fish, I was told that is how the salmon is prepared when it is blackened. Really? Ok then.
