Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a little loud in here.

I gave it an eight and a half out of 10.

I definitely would have rated it higher if it wasn't so loud in there and the sauce on the sea bass wasn't so salty.

I absolutely would get it again. I highly recommend it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Mix the goat cheese croquettes with the salad dressing to avoid dryness.
Make reservations on the app or through a travel agent.
Note the restricted dress code: no t-shirts or shorts.

Is Le Bistro still the "Grand Dame" of Norwegian Cruise Line specialty dining on the brand-new NCL Aqua? In this review, I’m taking you inside the most romantic restaurant on the ship to see if it lives up to the hype. While the atmosphere is stunning and the service was top-notch, there were two things that surprised me—including a saltier-than-expected sauce and a noise level that might change your reservation plans.
