molly361 Posted November 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Has anyone tried the Chops filet mignon (the one with the up charge) in the MDR and if so was it good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginaldvanpelt Posted November 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My wife and I had one in the MDR last week on the Oasis and we didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the filet we had at Giovanni's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted November 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It was recently "gifted" to us on Majesty and we thought it was good. The menu at the Captain's Table or the upper tier meal (lunch) with an officer often includes a filet, and I am told it is the "Chops" filet. We have enjoyed it. (Maybe because we were not paying for it!) M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CntPAcruiser Posted November 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My husband usually gets the Chops filet once or twice a cruise, and sometimes has had trouble with it coming extremely late, long after the other entrees have been served. But the steak itself has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare wilmingtech Posted November 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I had a bunch of OBC to burn on my March cruise on Freedom. I ordered the Chops Filet on lobster night and our waiter (who was fantastic) brought out the Filet with 2 lobster tails right before the rest of the food hit the table. It was much better than any steak on the MDR menu. Totally worth the OBC. It's certainly not as nice as an aged steak from Mortons or Ruth's Chris but it was my most memorable meal on the trip.

Peardrop Posted November 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I had it twice last week on the Navigator. First time in Chops which was delicious, then on the last night the MDR waiter offered us ‘surf & turf’ of filet mignon and jumbo shrimp for $12, and the filet was equally delicious. 10/10 both times!

Mikew0805 Posted November 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2017 We had it on the Navigator last Nov/Dec, and it was not good at all. We actually had them take it away. We will just go to Chops if we want that steak in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted November 3, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I get it, but, wait for the night they have it for only $10 in the MDR. I’m on the Grandeur now and they’ve been offering it for 25% off...not the $10. I’ll wait for the $10 sale if they have it. And it is delicious, but won’t pay the regular price.

mek Posted November 4, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I order the Chops steak frequently in the MDR - very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra36 Posted November 4, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 4, 2017 On the Grandeur earlier this year had it a few times in the MDR and worth the $10 OBC, they even had the steak and lobster one night in the MDR for $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted November 4, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I don't remember ever seeing it offered for $10. Will have to keep an eye out for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted November 4, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We just had the Chops filet tonight for $10. I think they only do it one time on a cruise. I always ask the first night when it will be, but they never tell me until the night of. They do not advertise it at all. I thought maybe since they were offering a 25% discounts the other nights, they wouldn’t do the $10 offering. It was melt in your mouth and delicious. I ordered it butterflied and medium...perfect!

I have had it a few times. It was tasty, the only downside is it took a lot longer to get to our table than if ordering a regular main off the menu.

sgregel Posted November 4, 2017 #18 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I order it at least once, sometimes twice. It's always been very good and worth the upcharge. A couple of times it took longer than ordering from the regular menu. I had it twice on Freedom in Sept and it came out with all the other entrees with no delay.

I’ve always had it on the Grandeur and it always came out the same time as the others. Wasn’t late either. I ordered it butterflied and medium. Maybe it depends on how long it takes them to cook it. Butterflied probably takes less time. Gwen [emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never been on Grandeur but we have been on most of the other ships and the waiters actually tell me it will take longer so we always get 2 starters.
