Pinnacle Grill, Holland America Line’s signature steakhouse, is introducing new dishes. The establishment’s refreshed line-up features fresh seafood and vibrant flavors from 10 regions.
“The new Pinnacle Grill menu beautifully marries our classic steakhouse tradition with vibrant regional flavors and the freshest seafood,” announced Michael Stendebach, the cruise line’s vice president of food, beverage, and room divisions.
