Food Wonderful Food 150 Central Park

I now understand how it is that people can go on a cruise one weight, still do a lot of walking and sightseeing and come home heaver than they started.


The Bear and I were discussing how great the specialty restaurants were and I said that all of the food was great it was just that Chops, 150 Central Park, Vintages and The Chefs Table were so amazingly fabulous that everything else paled by comparison.



So the first place we ate was 150 Central Park and yes you are looking at popcorn...carmel corn to be exact in my soup. Yes it was kind of weird for us to but then we tasted it and well who cared what it looked like because it was delicious.


But again I have gone out of order ... so here we are all dressed up and walking through Central Park on deck 8 when we
found 150 Central Park. The restaurant has warm rich interior and chairs that can create a very privet encounter even in the middle of the restaurant. We are created and offered a wine menu or the option of doing the chef's paring. This evening we did our choice and had a wonderful Ferari Carano Fume Blanc. So on our table was a covered dish that actually looked like a flower when I opened it we first thought it was salt and pepper but what we found out was that the miniature sour dough baguette was served with sweet cream butter and that these were actually 6 different salts from around the world each one having a distinctly different flavor. I was impressed enough with that part of the meal but then we had the soup Camembert and Lager with the popcorn crouton (still my favorite). Now this is a tasting menu which means that the Chef has created this and we get a taste of it all. It is actually wonderful because it is just enough to get the flavor and not to much that you feel full so you can go on to the next course (6 in total). By the time the evening was done we thought we had been fed the most wonderful meal and it couldn't get any better, boy were we wrong but more about that in the next post
