Sapphire Princess Sterling Steak House--how was the food & service?

[world_traveler_et]

I know the Sterling Steakhouse is located in a section of International Cafe at night and a section is closed off and table cloths are added.  I also know this is not the same atmosphere as the Crown Grill and the menu does not offer as many items.  Since this is not a true steak house with a dedicated location on the ship like the  Crown Grill on other ships or Sabatini's how is the quality of food served? 

 

I am looking at order the ribeye steak or the porterhouse steak?  Will I be disappointed in the quality or the preparation of the meal?

 

I know the Sapphire recently completed a 32 day cruise and hoping recent travelers will respond but any comments are appreciated!

It used to be located in a section of the Horizon Court, not International Cafe. So Deck 14.

 

I haven't been on the ship since 2018 but I never felt like the atmosphere of the restaurant was negative but I know others have.

I was on her a couple weeks ago and ate there twice.  18 day cruise.  We ordered what we normally get in the Crown Grill and I found it to be just as good.  The atmosphere was ok but if there are loud talkers in there, it can get loud.

Not up to date. It's the same menu now like Crown Grill (with the lobster & surf & turf stuff).

Coral,

Thank you for the correction.  I meant the Horizon Court not the International Cafe. 

 

Thanks for your comments.

Suekel and EDVM96 thanks for commenting.  Although it is not the same atmosphere as the Crown I Grill I think I will enjoy looking out the windows and see the scenery while I eat.  I am glad the menu is now the same as the Crown Grill.
