Steak Tartare and Lobster

[123kitties]

Does Celebrity still serve these items in the MDR? Thank you in advance??

The new Bistro on 5 menu features an excellent steak tartare, but I don't recall seeing it on the MDR menu. Lobster is served in the MDR, but it's Caribbean, not Maine lobster.

I just looked on the web and it did not show tartare on their menu but a poster mentioned that a new menu with it was being tried on the Summitt. I hope it gets to the Silhouette!

It was on Summit that I had the tartare in the Bistro. That was over a year ago and I had figured they'd roll out the new menu fleet-wide by now.

Lobster is served on the on the last formal night. The lobster is warm water lobsters.

I might suggest name change to "big shrimps"........I'm not picky but not a big deal.

The Tuscan Grille Steak Tartar is excellent!

Just off Millennium. Had steak tartar in the MDR and was NOT impressed. Mayonnaise has no role to play in the dish and yet it was used as a base. Beef was over-processed to a mushy state. I would have been better off with a raw hamburger patty from the pool grill and a sunny side up egg. Don't remember seeing lobster in the MDR but we didn't eat there every night.

Thanks to the poster with the Tuscan Grille info. I had missed that when I looked at their menu.

We did not have steak tartare in Dec 2014 over our 16 days. The lobster looked and smelled awful - plenty of better choices.

 

HOWEVER, beef carpacio was offered one night as an appetizer and was outstanding. So much that I asked our waiter to set one aside for me for desert!!!!

Lobster and Steak Tartare available in the MDR on the Eclipse this summer in the Med

In other words - no lobster.

I don't remember seeing steak tartar, but wasn't looking for it. On the second formal night, they had Caribbean lobster.

I second this opinion about the steak tartare. It is wonderful. Can hardly wait to have it again.

Except on the 3 or so Summit Sailings in New England, where they actually source the Lobster locally, YEAH! And it's pretty cheap (anyone can buy it within a SHORT walking distance of the boat for less than $3.99/lb).

 

Happy sailing,

We did that on a cruise that stopped in Bar Harbor. We had a full lobster dinner for lunch from appetizer to dessert w a decent sized lobster (1 1/2 pounds I think) for $18.00.

Beat me to it! It was so good we went back a second time on our last cruise!

 

FYI!

Main Lobster will be on the new Suite DR menu.

You can get Maine Lobster frozen, but it just isn't the same. It can be flown in live, but that cost some SERIOUS $$ outside the U.S.

 

I'm hoping that was an example and the menus will be very varied by local, at least a special or two based on location each night different than the menu.

 

Happy sailing,
