cherbear4000 Posted August 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I am sailing the Liberty in a couple of weeks and thinking of doing the steakhouse. We have never done it before so I have some questions. Is it really that good and worth the fee? I assume the quality of food is much better than the MDR? I know that there is an extra fee if you order more than one entree, but can you order an extra appetizer? I noticed on the menus the sides are listed separately. Does that mean you get to pick the sides you want? How many do you get? Do you still get the free bottle of wine on the first night? Thanks!

We enjoy the steakhouse doing it probably every other cruise. If you dont order salad generally you can get two apps. Unlimited sides and still free bottle of wine the first night but understand it isnt the best. Doing steakhouse the first night next month and will see how good the wine is.

swscruiser Posted August 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Free bottle of wine is still avail on embarkation day. You pick and choose your sides. No need to have extra apps. We have never been able to finish the entire meal. Yes it is worth the extra Money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperki1 Posted August 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think if you have never done it than you should, it's a nice experience. And I would do it the first night just for the bottle of wine (if you drink wine) I don't think the food is better than the MDR, but I am not a foodie, I do think the atmosphere is more intimate and personalized. I've done it twice enjoyed both times but it isn't one of my must do's. And of course this is just my humble view and opinion..:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog3777 Posted August 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The food is definitely better than the MDR!!!! Much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireEater Posted August 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yes, worth the cost. Plentiful for what is ordered too. Unless you eat for 3 or more, you will be content with quantity and quality, plus service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinaviking71208 Posted August 25, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I am also curious about what is everyone's favorite steakhouse food 5 spice rubbed ribeye, lobster bisque, baby spinach salad, & chocolate sampler. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I've already booked the steakhouse for 3 nights on my December Conquest cruise.

lbfluffy Posted August 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If you have six people in your group and three separate checks, can we get 3 bottles of wine since we are 3 couples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Does any one know if you can pay a upcharge on the first night for your choice of wine. I know that the free wine is a chardonnay or a red and I do not drink either. I would rather have a white zinfandel and would be willing to pay the extra charge if possible? Anyone going to the steakhouse before November on the first night or have asked already?

Thanks for your help pat murrells inlet, sc On our feb cruise we are doing first night and would prefer another wine unless it turns out we like the chardonnay. Going with two other couples and if one orders chardonnay will taste it and if we dont care for it will see if we can get something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted August 25, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Food is much better than the dining room. I do wish, however, the ceasar salad wasn't served so you have to cut it up. Chocolate sampler is better than the cheesecake. The cheesecake is HUGE but isn't like any I've tasted before. Steaks are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruisecat Posted August 26, 2013 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I like the lobster bisque, crab cake, and lobster ravioli. I just have to point out the irony that all three are seafood and not steak LOL :p They are my favorites too so I'm not "picking on you" just made me laugh is all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help pat murrells inlet, sc To the best of my knowledge if you don't want the free wine on the first night you don't get any credit towards something better. You can always get what you want, but I'm fairly certain you'll pay the full menu price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always get what you want, but I'm fairly certain you'll pay the full menu price for it. On 1 cruise 2 years ago, I heard a waitress tell another table that if they didn't want the house wine ($22), then they could get another wine and pay the difference. Don't know if this was a one time thing or not. I have never heard of the offer again. About food favorites - We like the new potatoes that come with the lamb. Have never tried to get them as a side dish. Also like the French onion soup and the wasabi mashed potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraKRN Posted August 26, 2013 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ate at the Breeze steakhouse a few nights ago and it's was definitely worth every penny. The quantity of food is so plentiful it would be quite an achievement to eat everything served, let alone an extra entree. The mushrooms and creamed spinach are the best sides mixed together. The filet is melt in your mouth perfection. This time I opted for the surf and turf and the lobster was so tender, it didn't need a drop if the clarified butter. The chocolate sampler is amazing!

debee1015 Posted August 26, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I love the Steakhouse, we go every cruise. Some people say its expensive, but if you go to dinner for 2 people at a fine steakhouse on land (i.e. Ruth Chris, Flemings, Morton's etc) and eat the same # of courses its going to run you upwards of minimum $150 (w/o tip). The fact its $70 for 2 people including gratuity (we add more) is a great value. I like the ahi tuna appetizer and the spinach salad. The desserts are wonderful, the cheesecake is a three day affair. Its huge. It's a wonderful experience on your vacation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E Heffa Posted August 26, 2013 #23 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We love Harry's! Been on the Liberty three times and three visits to the steakhouse. Worth every penny. So much food. There is usually an amuse bouche on top of everything else, including bread! The lobster bisque is awesome. The surf and turf is so tender and fresh! Go to the steakhouse!

meanjean80 Posted August 26, 2013 #25 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Love the escargot, the spinach salad, and the lamb. Got the Wasabi Mash Potatoes on the side. Managed about two bites of cheesecake.:) Have also had the surf and turf. We got the free red night 1, which was a merlot. I am thinking they MIGHT let you switch out for a white zinfandel, because that in general is one of the cheaper bottles of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
