    Our server was Samantha and in addition to being absolutely attentive and professional was very personable. The food was excellent as always and plentiful. We ate inside due to the weather and found that less appealing than the patio area, but we expected that. Sapphire is definitely one of my favorite places!!

    The service and food were excellent. Yes, prices, but what isn't today? Of course, seeing the water and city lights was great. I would have liked to see more holiday decorations on the ship, walking the way from the onboard area to the restaurant. Yes, there were several lit Christmas trees, but it's a long walk, and it would have been much nicer if it had been more festive, including the restaurant itself.

    The reservation process through Open Table went well. The Restaurant was clean and comfortable. The staff does an exceptional job. The salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies was great. Generous portion. Perfectly seared and all the right flavors. The short rib was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. Everything was delicious and the portion size was generous. The views are unsurpassed. I've been here several times and they never dissappoint..

    Superb dining experience. Wished we had gone during lunch hours to better see the views that were still amazing at night. We ordered the lobster for two and it was epic. With this dish, I recommend ordering a side of asparagus if Mexican sides do not appeal to you. The scallops with raisins were amazing too. The servers were friendly but professional. 10 out of 10

    This is our second time enjoying this brunch. The food is excellent, big variety of everything, Mexican, Italian, seafood, desserts, American. I wish they had a salad bar with more choices. The ambience was fantastic. Big part of it was the live band playing. Bossa Linda set the place on fire with their music. Service was excellent, we had Alejandra as our server and she was very attentive. Overall , great experience. Maybe they should have a dress code to make it more elegant. Some people were dressed very nicely with long dress and tights and others were in shorts and flip flops, not for the queen mary . Especially if you are paying $120 plus tip per person.
