We
already felt like VIPs with Chef Jorg’s visit to our table in the Main
Dining Room on Elegant Night. Then we had the pleasure of meeting him
again during the Behind the Fun Tour earlier and he acknowledged us and
our Chef’s Table reservation for later in the evening. Chef Jorg also
spotted us at the Lido Buffet as we were getting lunch and reminded us
not to eat too much because he had a special meal planned for us. Wow,
that’s special!
We
all met at the Atrium Bar - our home away from home - and at 6:15 p.m.
Chef Jorg came to whisk us away for an evening we soon wouldn’t forget.
Want to feel like a VIP AND a Celebrity?
Simple, just participate in the Behind the Fun Tour prior to Chef’s Table!
The
Chef’s Table experience began in the Galley with Chef Jorg giving us a
tour and enticing our palettes with Starters and Champagne. Because we
had been there earlier in the day, Chef Jorg made it a point to confirm
with Rod everything he was saying, including asking him if the food was
to his liking. Well, by the end of this (as well as throughout dinner)
some of the other participants were convinced hubby was some kind of
food critic. Yes, we were VIPs among the VIPs ... LOL!
No Seafood ... No Problem!
As
I mentioned earlier, I don’t care for seafood and Chef Jorg made sure
not a stitch of it came my way. We were seated at a beautifully set
table in the Blue Riband Library ... the boys on one side and the girls
on the other. At our place setting was a Place Card and a Menu Scroll.
I
unscrolled my menu and got a peek at the tantalizing dishes I would be
eating that evening. Yummy! There wasn’t a piece of fish anywhere. I had
already eaten a substitute dish as a Starter. The Tomato Mozzarella was
delicious. But, now I spotted my other substitutes. In place of Fried
Calamari I would be eating Fried Vegetable Tempura (delicious!) and in
place of Filet of Chilean Sea Bass I would be eating Roasted Apple
Stuffed Chicken Breast (again, delicious!).
The
regular menu is quite spectacular and I believe hubby enjoyed his
seafood dishes a lot. I do have to say that probably the best dish was
the Fire Roasted Tomato and Poblano Chile Bisque ... yummmmmmmy! I
didn’t know any one thing could taste that good.
Chef
presented each course and there were a number of waiters being very
attentive to us all. It was a fun meal and getting to know the people
around us helped make the experience even more memorable. Throughout
dinner there was free-flowing wine ... watch out for that though, it
sneaks up on you! ‘Nuff said. LOL!
So,
how was the whole Chef’s Table experience? I will give you hubby (you
know, the food critique)'s review, “It was the coolest four hours I have
ever spent eating dinner.”
Yes, I am sure we will be reserving Chef’s Table again.
