celebrity Beyond and tonight we're heading to the rooftop grill uh this is going to be another Beauty uh as you know I do partake and enjoy in my specialty dining when on board cruise ships uh this particular Cruise uh is a N9 night uh Caribbean cruise with ports of call in the Grand Cayman Island Aruba kurasa and Jamaica the rooftop grill on Celebrity Beyond is located in adjacent to the rooftop garden on Deck 14 so uh we're going to be heading up there shortly and uh I'm looking forward to having an absolutely spectacular meal and doing a full review of the food the service the venue and uh so sit back relax and enjoy so let's talk more walk and get to the rooftop grill [Music] he [Music] all right so we've arrived at the rooftop grill here on the celebrity Beyond I have the menu here in front of me and uh up in the link above me I'm going to attach uh a screenshot of the menu uh from the celebrity app so you can uh look at what the offerings are on the celebrity Beyond uh again the uh rooftop grill is specialty dining it's not included with your basic Cruise fair and uh depending on the cruise ship that you're on whether it be the edge the Apex the Beyond or now the celebrity Ascent the prices may vary depending on itinerary length of cruise uh and where you're cruising so um uh with that I'm just going to uh peruse the menu make some selection and we'll review each course as it comes stay tuned all right so the waiter just came and uh I did end up ordering the filet meon shock uh I do loves me a good filet meon uh so the rooftop grill is a barbecue style uh outdoor barbecue grill type restaurant so uh I of course I went if you can get a Fame me on on the barbecue that's a no-brainer so um I also ordered a side of uh cream corn and mac and cheese and for a starter I ordered the pulled pork Trio of Sliders so I'm definitely looking forward to that so the Crown Royal Diet Coke oh yes because to have anything less than Crown Royal with this magnificent dinner would be P so uh we'll sit back and we'll wait for the appetizers to arrive and then we'll strap on the Feed Bag all right so uh the appetizers have arrived and uh for your viewing pleasure and convenience if you ever come to the rooftop grill and order the watermelon and feta salad well here it is you can see it it uh I'm not a feta cheese fan anybody surprised by that oh it's true it's damn true uh so I'm going to hand this off to my friend so she can enjoy and as usual the bus man goes for the meat right so I've got the pulled pork sliders as you can see they come in a trio uh there's some uh pickles off to the side ooh the buns are nice and fresh nicely toasted it comes with a uh a vinegar a vinegarette uh cabbage with the pulled pork and a sweet Tangy barbecue sauce and it is a Brio spun in case you didn't recognize it so here we go the barbecue sauce is very Tangy it's slightly on the sweet side probably a little more sweet than what it needs it could it could have a little more acidity to pull back that um tanginess of the barbecue sauce but it is good so this one's a winner the bun is Super Fresh as we all know on Celebrity all of their buns and breads are baked daily so you're not ever getting D bread on a on board this cruise ship yep so this is a winner so if you get the the pull pork sliders you won't be disappointed so I'm going to uh finish off these sliders and then we'll come back with round two which is the main course stay tuned all right so the uh main course has arrived so uh to my left oh yes sir thank you very much so we have uh our mac and cheese to my left your right my left we have the grilled F on and I can tell you right now this is going to be very well cooked just by the touch it bounces back it's super tender we have oven roasted potatoes and we have our cream corn off here to the right uh and it does come with a sauce as I recall it was a cream peppercorn sauce I've never had a cream peppercorn sauce before but uh we'll give it a whirl so let's do the test we'll just cut oh yes look at that that the knife just slides right through it I ordered mid rare it's more towards rare but uh I always order mid rare or rare so both are are perfectly good but look look at that that is absolute perfection but it doesn't matter how it looks it matters how it tastes feels so the first bite will just do just the meat all by itself and we'll enjoy this goodness one bite at a time wow now that is a good piece of meat earlier today day I was recreating at the pool area and I ran into one of my fellow Cruisers and I was engaging them in conversation and uh during that conversation he was talking about he had been to the rooftop grill and he was uh in a very friendly way suggesting that maybe I should order something other than a steak at the rooftop grill and get my steak from the fine cut steakhous which is another specialty dining restaurant that we went to earlier I had the bone infil on um even though I didn't do a review of that particular restaurant mainly because it was too dark and I'm not going to use lighting or artificial Lighting in a in a high class restaurant I try to do this as discreetly as possible however I am glad I didn't listen to that advice because this steak is off the hook off the chain ridiculous it's perfectly well seasoned it's got a nice Char on the outside nice barbecue flavor it's very juicy this steak and the rooftop grill is on the list and busman approved so let's try this uh cream sauce or whatever it is I have no usually I only do an oou with a steak that's my cardinal rule so this is me stepping outside of the box trying something different that I've never tried before it's good but it is very garlicky has a very strong flavor of garlic to it but it does compliment the steak how's theion are you enjoying I was just saying how outstanding the steak is thank you very much very very good perfectly cooked perfect uh rare to Mid rare nice Char it's well seasoned super tender it gets a 10 out of 10 very very good thank you wow some of your service the manager and the waiter I can't decide if I like the steak by itself or with the sauce but the sauce does complement the steak very well it's not too overpowering but it is very well seasoned and it does have a uh a strong garlic taste to [Music] it we'll have one more okay so let's move on to the roasted potatoes here here the steak is so addicting I I don't want to move on to anything else but I have to do a review of all of the items not just the steak so this is the roasted potato very good it's got a nice chewy and yet crunchy texture on the outside light and fluffy in the middle it's uh not overdone but it's also not underdone so that gets a thumbs up so let's try the mac and cheese now in my experience it's almost impossible to screw up a mac and cheese however the number one thing that ruins a mac and cheese is overcooked pasta if the pasta is not El Dente it just detracts from all of the flavor uh and texture of a of a good mac and cheese so here you can see it is we we'll see how it [Music] is there you go yes ready wow nice sharp ched it's an age cheddar cheese that they're using it's super creamy the bacon that they put on top nice and crunchy and they bake the the mac and cheese in the oven before they serve it so it has a nice crispy top to it and uh in case I didn't mention it do not just stick your spoon in it and shovel it into your pie hole cuz uh let me tell you that's hot everything here is clearly made to order they're not preing anything so the mac and cheese thumbs up steak and mac and cheese are a marriage made in heaven however a toast to all of my YouTube subscribers Crown Royal steak mac and cheese and good company it doesn't get any better than that a marriage made in heaven yum yum yum last we're going to try the cream corn this plate is hot so uh as you can see I'm just going to put this down did I mention it was hot um I'm just going to stir this up get all the goodness mixed up in there this does not look like anything that came out of a can [Music] so the corn is fresh there's a clear pepper taste in there it's thick it's creamy and it's sufficiently sasfy oh it's true all right so so far everything's been bang on double thumbs up um absolutely amazing so I'm going to finish up this wonderful meal and then we're going to come back for round three the dessert round and don't worry there'll be room for dessert it's damn true all right folks this is the pist of the resistance the ayatolla of rock and rolla the master of disaster the Pinnacle the king of the mountain this is it this is the cookie emphasis on the because there's nothing else like it I've had it before I know this is going to be an exercise in excellence and uh it's going to be a culinary orgasm oh it's true it's damn true so it's basically a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie coated with ice cream and it's hot and it's thick and it's creamy and it's it's sweet it's Savory it's it's everything but let's less talk and more action oh yes oh yes check that out oh my goodness just do it here we go it makes my eye roll in the back of my head oh my God that is just ins spect acular when we were on the edge the celebrity Edge in 2021 we were at the rooftop grill and I had this dessert if you are on any Edge class ship you must this is a Thou shalt and a must do you absolutely have to come to the rooftop grill and indulge in what is the best dessert on this cruise ship full stop and a conversation there's no competition it is the cookie this is the reason to come to the rooftop grill oh my God and you know I say it like it is I don't hold back and if I don't like something based on my past reviews you know it's true this is worth every penny like outstanding over the top the Ayatollah the king of Sting the master of disaster the heavyweight champion of desserts is the cookie it's making my eyes roll into the back of my head oh my God okay I think you got the picture so I'm going to finish off this dessert but prior to that I can tell you um the service has been good tonight at the tusken grill we do know from other experiences we're sorry my bad we're not at the tusin grill we're at the rooftop grill so I do know from other uh dining experiences and venues around the ship I do know that the ship is somewhat under staffed right now we've had a consistent pattern we that's when we get the service it's good but there have been periods of time where the service I'll use the word intermittent it hasn't been uh as good but the service has been better here tonight uh the food goes without saying uh everything I've eaten and tried was Aces um so overall uh I'm given the the rooftop grill a 9 and 1/2 out of 10 uh it would be remiss if if I gave it any lesser score uh I would not hesitate whatsoever you can be damn sure that the next time on board a celebrity cruise ship on an edge class ship I will absolutely be coming back to the rooftop grill and so should you and with that I'm calling this one a wrap I am the bus man you take care be well and I'll see you you on the road all and goodbye peace while I eat this spectacular dessert
