Rare May B Posted May 31, 2023 #26 Share Posted May 31, 2023 19 hours ago, May B said: Why? The NY strip is definitely not the only thing on the menu. Actually, I think I saw a post with a photo of the osso bucco, which looks great. That’s what I’ll probably have, unless there’s a fish that is one of my faves. Actually, when I looked back at the menu, I saw Dover sole, which I like very much. I hope it isn’t overpoweringly lemon-y. Does anybody know? Plus, at the Grill, I think there was Ahi tuna that I had one night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not think it was too lemon-y. Viking does seafood very well. I love all kinds of seafood, except oysters. I even like the herring for breakfast at Mamsen deli.😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised by all the Viking steak haters here. On Sea in March and on Sea now, I’ve had the rib eye in Manfredis several times and it has always been delicious and perfectly done medium rare. It’s not thin at all. A half order is too much for me. Maybe it varies from ship to ship. 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dining is included in your cruise fare, but Manfredis and The Chef’s Table require reservations. Your cruise contract should tell you the date when you can make dining reservations, and when shore excursions are available to book.

Rare slewis7 Posted May 31, 2023 #33 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) I have had very mixed results ordering that steak at Manfredi’s. The first time, it was delicious but subsequently it was mediocre. Still, I will try again in our upcoming cruise. 🤞 Our recent experiences at Manfredi’s, post pandemic, have been a mixed bag in general.

We went to Manfredi's twice: the first time, the steak was excellent; the second time, it was thin, fatty and overcooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duquephart Posted May 31, 2023 #36 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Looks like I need to pay better attention next time. Pickled herring is one of mankind's greatest inventions. Had some excellent in Aalborg! Also on great breakfast buffets in Oslo and Bergen hotels when we were stranded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarside Posted June 1, 2023 #41 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Not the lasagne definitely. The sharing platter of meats and cheese is a good starter to go with the wonderful bread and a nice red wine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted June 1, 2023 #42 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) The steak was good on my Northern lights cruise in March. Not real thick but cooked medium rare. The rack of Lamb was also very good.first time Viking cruiser so I had nothing to compare it with except Princess. the appetizer of deli meats and cheese was not very good. But I live in San Francisco and have access to really good stuff here. Edited June 1, 2023 by oskidunker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlion Posted June 1, 2023 #44 Share Posted June 1, 2023 On our cruise, the pasta carbonara, gnocchi and the Osso Buco were delicious. We didn't like the lasagna at all - some strange bechamel topping that was thin and hard as a cracker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to cook correctly. The rib eye is also heavily coated in a rub. I asked to have it medium rare without the rub. It came heavily crusted and well done. 🤷🏼♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Was the Gnocchi like typical Gnocchi or one flat glob in the bottom of the bowl? I love Gnocchi, but the last time I had it there was just one big blob. I avoided it on our last cruise so I don't know if it was still that way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
