    I just remembered the dining room and Pinnacle just put out a new breakfast menu which I don't have yet.

    Also there is a new menu for the Mariner's brunch -- don't have that one yet either.

    On the Eurodam -- we love the Tamarind for dinner. The lunch at Tamrind was very skimpy -- at least it was when we were there. Maybe it has changed.

    Then our next best restaurant is of course the Pinnacle.

    It is stange -- we didn't have a chance to try the Canaletto when we were on the Eurodam. And each ship we were on after that got the Canaletto added AFTER we were on it. But we are going to try it on our next cruise.

    We ate lunch once at the Pinnacle -- it is as large as a dinner.

    And since we have the 5:45 dinner time -- it was just too much food. We are not used to having a BIG meal at lunch.

    We love the Pinnacle Grill - it's our favorite among all the specialty restaurants.

    We did the Tamarind on the Eurodam and was not impressed. I ordered my filet mignon medium and it came raw! Not rare, but still raw and cold in the middle. I sent it back and about 20 minutes later they brought me another steak but it, too, was raw. I sent it back again, this time they brought the same steak and it was still very rare. I sent it back a 4th time and it came out well-done. They took my vegetables back the first time but left them there for the next three times, so they were cold. They offered to take my wife's plate and keep it warm, but we chose to let her eat. She was done for 45 minutes before I finally got my steak for the 4th time.

    Yes, this may have very well been a one-time occurrence, but needless to say, we were not impressed at all.

    Canaletto's was wonderful! We could not believe it was not more popular, especially since it was free. But we enjoyed eating there twice and thoroughly loved it. Both times the menu was exactly the same, but that was fine as we ordered other items.

    For anyone else reading -- only those who book the PS, SA, SB, SC and S Deluxe Suites on all ships can have breakfast in the Pinnacle.
