casofilia Posted September 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have never tried any steak that big!!! If you had just 1 choice which would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted September 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Once you've tried all three of them, surely you will be in the best position to decide for yourself which one you want to have a second time… But if you're at all interested in the rest of the menu at these two restaurants, it seems like you should hit them both twice (and not Cagney's 3 times and Le Bistro only once). Are you planning to order the chocolate fondue for 2 after eating the côte de bœuf for 2? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstuff1 Posted September 18, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Once you've tried all three of them, surely you will be in the best position to decide for yourself which one you want to have a second time im worried about reservations being all booked by the time i've had each of the steaks once. so i need to reserve ahead of time, thus why im asking which steak would you repeat.

fstuff1 Posted September 18, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted September 18, 2016 whoops.. change in plans. just read that a solo person getting the the 32oz ribeye at Le Bistro might get charged as 2 days on your sdp since the ribeye says for 2 people. looks like cagneys for all 4 sdp.

Son of a son of a ... Posted September 18, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi! It's me, your ❤️! Just reminding you that "vacation" doesn't mean I will take a break. I know you love your steaks, but 8# in seven days might be a bit too much. Let's eat some chicken and fish, too!! I will be there for you as long as you are there for me! Love, Your ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! No there are LOTS of bones in the ones we have shared in le Bistro. By the time the fat and cartilage is removed you have about as much as 10-12oz of fillet.

ColinIllinois Posted September 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) How funny is it that this "hungry person" wants to eat 32 ounce steaks four times on the free SDP but in their signature it says how much NCL "nickles and dimes you to death". It's a crazy world, folks. Edited September 19, 2016 by ColinIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinbabe06 Posted September 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) We had dinner twice at Cagneys. That's all my husband orders, the 32 oz Porterhouse.:) But, after removing fat and bones, it's really not 32 oz being consumed. By the 3rd visit to Cagneys, you might decide on a different cut of meat. Enjoy! It's YOUR vacation.:o Edited September 19, 2016 by Cruzinbabe06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissLe Posted September 19, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Quality, not quantity with steaks! Go back to Cagney's for a filet mignon and realise all that cutting/scraping/pulling on the 32oz just wasn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to Cagney's for a filet mignon and realise all that cutting/scraping/pulling on the 32oz just wasn't worth it. I must agree that the Filet Mignon in Cagney's is excellent. We also have had the "Boeuf pour Deux" in le Bistro and while excellent is not as good as the Filet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted September 19, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I agree the tomahawk looked like it was cooked well done! No flavor at all! Medium rare makes me hungry! Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number34 Posted September 19, 2016 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Quality, not quantity with steaks! Go back to Cagney's for a filet mignon and realise all that cutting/scraping/pulling on the 32oz just wasn't worth it. Agreed, had the porterhouse on Epic and it was hard work! Also had the ribeye and filet in Cagneys and thought the ribeye was tastiest. My favourite steak on NCL is the filet in Le Bistro but will be trying the 32 oz for two (there will be two of us!) when next on board Spirit.

We have never seen any cartilage in the servings we have received. After it is carved, table side, there is more than enough food for two people.

shedew Posted September 19, 2016 #21 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've has all three on numerous occasions. If I was limited to one of the three on any given trip. I would go for the porterhouse. It may be slightly "lighter" than the tomahawk but it includes a filet. The tomahawk is impressive, but I don't find the flavor quite as good and it can be a workout to get it off the bone. If you open up the choices to include the strip and filet, I would chose one of those. You still won't leave hungry and have some room to really enjoy the rest of the meal. Frankly, I'm over 350 lbs, and pretty full before the steak even gets to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted September 19, 2016 #22 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Completely incorrect. There is no bone in this portion that that they use in Le Bistro.Maybe you didn't get a bone, and I can't see how there could be "LOTS of bones", but every time we have ordered it, there is a bone. I agree that it's enough for two people, but that is so obviously beside the point in this thread… Once we shared a table with another couple who ordered this, but one wanted it rare and the other wanted it well done. I was surprised when the server said that was no problem. When the main courses arrived they simply got two separate filets. :) So no bone in that case.

jaja Posted September 19, 2016 #23 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Putting in my 2 cents....I love prime rib...had one at Cagney's on last cruise...It was over half bone and chunks of fat....very difficult to eat and enjoy..:( Edited September 19, 2016 by jaja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted September 19, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) My advice for prime rib: Get it in the buffet on prime rib night. It's good, it's free, you can see what you're getting, and you can eat 10 pounds of it if that's how you roll. Go to Cagney's for grilled steaks. (It occurs to me that the prime rib at Cagney's is probably grilled, too, not roasted. In which case I would prefer just about any other cut.)
