Review summary

The worse part of the cruise was the food, the so called specialty restaurants aren't worth the time or money, flavorless food, not one meal in these restaurants were exceptional in any way. I always look forward to great meals when I cruise and I was totally let down,  cruising the Mediterranean Sea, some the best known seafood in the world and we couldn't be provided a decent seafood meal, BAD BUISINESS!!

We had no complaints, Le Bistro was above exceptional in not food and service.

We loved the food!

Oh so sad. Cagneys is always super. Le bistro The oso buco is excellent. Teppanyaki is always fun and good. Good show. Guess I have a plebeian palette.

I've been on Epic twice and don't remember the food being sub standard. Hopefully it's just a blip.

I agree try the smaller ships if Celebrity or Princess cruise lines. Their food is overall the best in my opinion.

You might need a smaller ship to get that cultural experience of local flavor. Especially if you're a foodie.
