14Terry Posted May 1, 2022 #26 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Was on the Enchantment in March and had the 3 night dining package. Had the filet each time. It was delicious each time! Edited May 1, 2022 by 14Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acesneights99 Posted May 1, 2022 #28 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Our experience at Chops was an absolute disaster. I ordered a filet medium. It came as well well well done, essentially shoe leather. I asked for a medium rare replacement and got a raw filet. Essentially a 10 second sear on each side. Dark red center, refrigerator cold. The third one was super rare but at least edible. I was tired of trying to get an acceptable filet, so just ate it. I am tempted to bring an instant read digital thermometer and ask the server for a 145 degree filet. Not 200, not 50, not 120. This is without a doubt the worst food ever at any specialty restaurant on any cruise ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_drew Posted May 2, 2022 #29 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Seriously, the mac and cheese! I had ordered the creamed spinach, my sister ordered the asparagus, husband ordered mashed potatoes and my BIL ordered the mac and cheese and we all tried everything. Well, the 2nd night we went to Chops we ordered TWO mac and cheese sides...just sayin'. Oh, and both the lobster bisque and the mushroom soup were wonderful, as was the petite filet. Yeah, I just had leftovers out of the freezer for dinner tonight and this thread is making me very hungry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaefell Posted May 2, 2022 #31 Share Posted May 2, 2022 On Quantum October 2019,we went to Chops first night,I had the NY Strip & my Wife had the Lamb Chops,both delicious but seriously underwhelmed by the portion size of the sides,really good service but we really didn't consider the experience worth the extra charge. Second night in Icon awful service,poor food,went to the buffet after as we were still hungry & ate there for the remainder of the cruise,just loved seeing the 'washy,washy' girls & dining outside at the stern,we saw some amazing light shows after dark courtesy of distant lightning!

baelor Posted May 2, 2022 #32 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Does anyone know what type(s) of mushrooms Royal uses for the mushroom soup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserLucas Posted May 2, 2022 #33 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I only have one experience point to go off of, but we really enjoyed our meal at Chops, so I'd recommend it. Mine: Crab cake, medium Prime bone-in ribeye, with Gruyere cheese tater tots Partner: Black pepper bacon, petite filet, with truffle French fries Shared: Mac & Cheese Can't remember the dessert, but it was good! 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shrimp cocktail are nice and large and the tater tots are super yummy too. As for steaks? It's all just personal preference. Sometimes I go for the filet, other times the ribeye. A lot of people mention the mushroom soup but for me I would rather have Campbells soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morecruisesplz Posted May 17, 2022 #38 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Skip it and enjoy Giovanni’s. Best steak. Prawns instead of shrimp cocktail + a delicious pasta side dish. Chops steak does not compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maitaiguy Posted May 17, 2022 #39 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The bacon appetizer. Most things at Chops are Amazing but the bacon appetizer is also impossible to find at my local steakhouses on land. I have never been disappointed with anything at Chops. The mushroom soup is great too! Have to agree with some of the previous posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my experience last week, no mushroom soup. The Mac and cheese was equal to Kraft box m&c. I used to like the Chilean sea bass but sadly that has disappeared from the menu. We tried Giovanni 's for my wife's birthday and she did not care for it at all. The linguini with clam sauce contained zero clams. They used mussels instead. I chalked it up to supply chain issues. I thought the branzino was fantastic, albeit a small portion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get lobster and steak together at Chops? is there an added fee if you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
