Don't you despise a deceptive headline?
Me too, but like so many headlines, this one is almost accurate.
Almost.
We did dine with Todd English. He just wasn't on board the ship.
Keep reading. I promise, we are almost to the Panama Canal blog on this virtual Queen Victoria cruise.
Indulge me while I tell you how Gaz and I indulged ourselves at the chic and saucy (must toss in some epicurean terms), Todd English, specialty restaurant on the Queen V. If you don't recognize the name of this Celebrity Chef, I will prompt you.
Olives?
If you still need prompting...forget it...look him up for yourselves. I can not do everything!
Now, back to our dining indulgence.
Yes, yes-there is a small extra charge to strike a pose over fish and chops at this restaurant, but it's small. Hardly noticeable.
Sashaying into the place, after making dinner reservations, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly.
Our server launched our dining experience with the proper and comfortable balance of helpfulness, charm and then leaving us to it.
The atmosphere, food, wine and service was exemplary.
Heck, I may even find one of Todd's places on land.
The snaps I post are of the most important aspects of any meal.
=In the end, doesn't it all really come down to the wine and sweets?
Granted, some would disagree and say it is all about the entree and good for them. Naturally, I want my fish sticks (hope Todd can take a joke) to be extra yummy, but the wine and chocolate are simply the perfect storm of flavors-crashing all over the palate.
Cunard was wise to put this option smack in the middle of the Queen Victoria. Of course, I am not really certain it IS smack in the middle. How can one really tell on a ship?
No matter if it is in the bow the stern, fore or aft...it is divine!
Don't drop out now...Panama Canal...on the horizon.
