reedl Posted February 28, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 28, 2014 To me a steak is not the same without a baked potato. I will most certainly skip chops if they discontinue the baked potato fleetwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieJo Posted February 28, 2014 #29 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That menu sucks. No way I'd pay 35.00 for it, or pay extra on top of that for some of the entree's.:rolleyes: I guess we'll enjoy the "old" Chops on Jewel in a few weeks, may be our last time:mad: Me Too! Now, I'm thinking we should eat there twice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garnetpalmetto Posted February 28, 2014 #30 Share Posted February 28, 2014 For those of you who have not seen the "new Chops Menu" this link will take you to a Photobucket image: http://s1327.photobucket.com/user/bobinfl/library/New%20Chops%20Menu Looking at that it also looks like they've discontinued the sauces they used to serve on the side on the new menu! That's an outrage there - the green peppercorn and chimichurri sauces were great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonJuan77 Posted February 28, 2014 #31 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Why would you pay a lot of money for a "Dry-Aged Steak" after paying a cover fee just to get in?? Seems crazy to me, but I guess some people do it. I'd rather get a couple of filets and stick it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted February 28, 2014 #32 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We were on Indy last week and it was still the same menu. Thank goodness, we sail in a month and the new menu is kind of a let down:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock43031 Posted February 28, 2014 #36 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I sent Goldstein my two cents on this. What sort of "Steak House" doesn't have a baked potato on the menu?:eek: EXACTLY!! also, what kind of steakhouse takes the Porterhouse off the menu? we did CHOPS on the Serenade of the Seas this pass fall and other then the actual steak nothing else was better than in the MDR and service worse.

garnetpalmetto Posted February 28, 2014 #37 Share Posted February 28, 2014 EXACTLY!! also, what kind of steakhouse takes the Porterhouse off the menu? The Porterhouse is still on the menu - you just have to pay a premium for it now since it's a dry-aged porterhouse. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock43031 Posted February 28, 2014 #38 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Porterhouse is still on the menu - you just have to pay a premium for it now since it's a dry-aged porterhouse. :( with an up-charge of $35 a head I would expect the steaks to be dry-aged to start with. if I can't have a baked potato why the hell would i want a steak?

jenninlaca Posted February 28, 2014 #39 Share Posted February 28, 2014 With the increased cover charge and decreased offerings, wouldn't you be better off eating in the MDR and paying the $15 upcharge (or whatever the charge is now) for the Chops filet?

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted March 1, 2014 Author #40 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I agree maybe its time to go back to the MDR since the quality/selection/variety went downhill. I also wonder whether you can upgrade your steak in the MDR I remember a time you used to but unsure if you can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my cruise on Serenade last month it was $17.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp.dll Posted March 1, 2014 #44 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I was going to post earlier wondering if you could have a dry aged steak delivered to the MDR. doubt that's happening as Royal would miss out on the $30 service charge and the MDR has baked potatos! though not exactly the behemoth ones like I remember in Chops Edited March 1, 2014 by wmp.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruiserccl Posted March 1, 2014 #45 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I ate at Chops and whatever the other restaurant is on Explorer last November. Frankly did not eat anything I considered memorable. Explorer does not have Chops it has Portofinos.

cruiseturbo Posted March 1, 2014 #46 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just sent an email to Adam to voice my concerns about the new menu as well. Very upset that my favorite prosciutto potatoes and the smaller filet option are gone. Also concerned about the sauces missing. Hopefully they will take all of our feedback into consideration before rolling out fleet wide. Debra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted March 1, 2014 #47 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I too am a fan of the current chops menu. With the new menu we see the discontinuation of the Oyster duo, the mushroom soup, reduced offering in types of inclusive steaks, elimination of sauce offerings, poorer choice of side items and poorer dessert choices. I typically will eat in chops 3-4 times on a longer cruise, 2-3 times on a shorter one. If the new menu is in place on the Serenade transatlantic in April I may vote with my feet, and wallet, and cancel any reservations and return to the MDR more often. It isn't that I mind change, and I don't begrudge increased costs, BUT the changes should be for the better. All I see here is cost cutting and the ability to have less food waste, both at the expense of the consumer. The new menu does not WOW me at all!

wmp.dll Posted March 6, 2014 #49 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Not sure how many other people actually sent an email about this, but I received a message on my phone from someone at head office wanting to speak to me about this. I'm going to call back today and we shall see what she has to say about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend not doing it. I have ordered the current large filet in the MDR a number of times and it almost always is over cooked. I stopped doing it and go to Chops instead. You do not avoid being charged by ordering in the MDR, however, the charge is normally around $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
