It must be the Italian blood in me. Esther and I both like the menu choices at Portofino's. If I decide to order a steak, I know it will be done to perfection. If I want a steak from Chop's, I can order it from my dinner table for $15. I'd bet that 3 out of 4 people would prefer Portofino's over Chops. A survey would be interesting.
Maybe it's just me but I prefer to eat in them early in the cruise,day 2 or 3. I seem to eat less later in the cruise and am overwhelmed by a 5 coarse meal near the end.We ate at both Chops & Portifino's last week and I waS unable to eat my dessert both times.Both are definately worth the money.Just a note,I had prepaid prior to sailing and when we were asked which water we wanted we had the Evian and was charged 16.99.I don't remember that in the past but we normally order wine.
Well Sonny I realiza I ahve never been to Portofino's. Rechecked the ships I have been on, and I missed another opportunity to try it on the Radiance. I let the other ladies make the choice on the Radiance. But then I have never had a bad or tough steak at Chops either. Love to see your poll results though.
