Creator's Key Takeaways

You aren't just paying for the teriyak steak or the scallops. You're paying for the experience.

The wild mushroom soup. It is drizzled with white truffle oil and has this intense earthly flavor that is absolutely incredible.

150 Central Park offers the highest quality food on the ship, hands down.

I recommend trying the ultimate dining package to try them all. It saves you a lot of money compared to the cover charge at the door.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the ultimate dining package to save money compared to paying cover charges at each venue.
Book Izumi Hibachi for a fun group experience or celebration.
Order the wild mushroom soup at Chops Grill.
Get the meatball gigante at Giovanni's Italian Kitchen.
Don't skip the fried cheesecake at 150 Central Park.

Is the paid dining on Utopia of the Seas actually better than the free food? I put my appetite to the test at four of the top specialty venues on board: Izumi Hibachi, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, and the upscale 150 Central Park. In this Utopia of the Seas food review, I break down the menu highlights, the atmosphere, and most importantly—whether the "Unlimited Dining Package" is worth your money.
