Not yet ... but hope to do so.
Actually, we had reservations but because of Noro they were cancelled because of lack of waiters. Lots of the staff and crew were sick.

Our table moved to the Pinnacle for dinner on both formal nights. I'm not sure why we did that, but we had a great time at both meals. The food was excellent, and it was a nice change of pace.

Now that the Pinnacle has a new menu -- I flip flop between the Petite Filet and the Lobster Tail. Now I also flip flop between the chocolate volcano cake and the chocolate souffle.

No, Hal is one of the few cruise lines where the quality of the food in the MDR hasn't deteriorated as bad as some other lines, especially RCL

We have been on a couple of cruises where the food in the dining room was pretty bad -- nearly everything that came out was either cold or burnt.
