SandyCay Posted March 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2011 For those of you who have eaten at the Steakhouse on the Dream, is it worth the 30 bucks or should we just save that money and stick to the regular dining? Thank you in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candbgirl Posted March 10, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The dining room food is wonderful. We were really surprised at how good everything was. That being said we did go to the Steakhouse and it was fabulous. In my opinion it is well worth every penny of the $30 charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Vickie Posted March 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It is soooooooooooo worth it!! Now my DH says I always have to pick a ship with a steakhouse on all our future cruises! If it makes him happy and keeps him cruising with me then I am all for it!!! LOL But yes....it's worth the money. The food is awesome and I seriously doubt you'd be disappointed!

DanBoy Posted March 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Best meal I ever had, and I've been to numerous restaurants growing up in New York and traveling in my life!. It was sooo good we went back AGAIN!. The Porterhouse was incredible, as the filet mignon, Lobster, cheesecake. You will NEVER get a meal like that for 30 bucks anywhere! Going back on the Dream May 28th, and one of the highlights will be the Sterling Steakhouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medianeh Posted March 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Absolutely worth every penny. Delicious! Make sure you order the cheesecake for dessert. It's HUGE! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib4cruzn Posted March 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Well! I suppose we'll have to give it a try in Sept. I'll have to have a look at the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 10, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Definitely worth it. I am reading on these boards that the Chef's Table is better, but it's double the cost. I suggest you try to go on a night when the MDR is not serving foods you like or would like to try. Elegant nights, for example. Or, for DW,the night they serve the Grand Marnier souffle; usually that's the last night. While there are somewhat standard menus around for 7 day cruises, they will mix things up every so often, so check on these boards for any latest menus being posted, or recent reviews which will give you a sense of which are the better nights. You can wait unitl you are on board to make reservations and you can change them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezmo Posted March 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The Lobster Bisque is the best I have ever tasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlexprt Posted March 10, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hope you dont mind me asking but I have a reservation for 2 nights on our Eastern sailing next month. Does anyone recall the formal night on the Eastern route? I have reservations for Sunday night (Nassau) and Monday(first sea day) I may just do both nights anyway ;) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerboy88 Posted March 10, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Also, when does the Steakhouse open. Do they have several seatings, or just one seating per night. Is it a MUST to make reservations? We want to try it, but not sure which night would be best. How long does it usually take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to try it, but not sure which night would be best. How long does it usually take? The Chef's Art steakhouse takes reservations for dining times from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. A reservation isn't required but it's a darn good idea. Expect the dinner to take 2 and a half hours, perhaps a bit more. It's well worth the money. I've dined at the steakhouses on every ships that I've sailed that had it available and they were all excellent. Regarding the post about the Chef's Table... yes, it's much better than the steakhouse but it's more than twice the price. You do get personal attention from the ship's Executive Chef and all the wine you care to drink included in that price. Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps her nice and busy whenever we go out to dinner and we got her some toddler sized headphones so she won't disturb anyone nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
