MSarahM Posted July 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We will be celebrating our son's 17th birthday on the Magic in a few days and have a reservation at the Steakhouse. Actually, we have 2 reservations, but based on some feedback here, we might cancel the 2nd one. I've never eaten in the Steakhouse so I don't know what I'm missing from the old menu. I actually love seafood and a very occasional steak whereas the rest of my family is the opposite. I'd appreciate any menu recommendations from those that have experienced the new menu! I have a talent for choosing poorly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted July 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2018 IF AND ONLY IF you are a fan of steak tartare, try it. It was hands down the best I have ever had. My group enjoys sharing bites of food. Though I was the only one who ordered it, all four of us agreed it was the best thing we had the entire cruise.

wamdam Posted July 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We have eaten at the Steakhouse several times and have never had a bad meal. The food & service is well worth it. Of course, you can always cancel the 2nd if you have a bad experience with the first one. No need to do it beforehand.

MSarahM Posted July 16, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I tried steak tartar in the MDR last year on the Magic. While I could live on raw fish (sushi), I couldn't get 3 bites of the tartar down! More for you ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Been to the Steakhouse over twenty times. We have sone it multiple times on cruises over half a dozen times. We consider it the best on the seas. Changes in menu are a good thing, embrace the change. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the surf-n-turf? It is very good, the fillet is small but great taste.

coevan Posted July 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I love the Filet and the N.Y. I am steak lover so, so MR, no sauces, no rubs, and not blackened. The wild mushrooms are a nice side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mDag Posted July 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We ate twice in the Magic steakhouse last January with the new menu. The filet was amazing. Wagyu was good, but not my favorite. Bone marrow app was phenomenal. None of the desserts really excited me, so I got the cheese plate both nights. Hubby got the chocolate sphere and was ok with it. We saw several people get Art at the table -- we were not enticed! Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSarahM Posted July 16, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm definitely considering the surf and turf, or the Wagyu. I've never had it before and may take advantage of it being offered. Has anyone just had the lobster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone just had the lobster? One of my group had the Wagyu and was disappointed. The cut of Wagyu that was previously served at the Chef's Table was amazing. Unfortunately but somewhat predictable, the flat iron Wagyu was pretty tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted July 17, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The cut of Wagyu they use is not the most tender and needs to be cooked MR. If you order this steak MW or Well it will not be tender. Also, it's American Wagyu, not Japanese which cost around $100 a lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one enjoys a cold, bloody interior, flat iron just isn't going to cut it, even if Kobe or Wagyu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums The steak tartare was expertly and mildly flavored. The richness of the raw, tender beef shined and there was the faintest salty flavor of capers. The bone marrow was thrilling. Imagine making an extremely rich broth, dehydrating it, and covering it with a mild, delicious, bit of melted cheese. That's the best way I can describe it. Fantastic!
