It looked a little fatty to me. We did not try it. All of their other meats were great. They use only prime for steaks and roasts. The braised short ribs were braised for 6 hours and were wonderful. Of course the king crab was frozen but tasted fresh as served. It was served cold but I asked and they nuked it and made drawn butter for me--must have been over a pound or so. More was offered but declined. I even ate a filet mignon one day and a New York strip the next. Both were prime an perfectly done to order. Had a crispy skinned capon one night. They also had two specialty restaurants: Manfredi Italian: We ate there once and were not disappointed. Also, "The Chef's Table" which served an all Mexican dinner--but not like any we had eaten. No Tex met. and no really hot spices. It was great food but not my favorite. In the upper deck open cafeteria (from 7AM to midnight) home made pastry and breads and also some of the best home made ice cream. Chef standing by to whip up your personal requests. However, we ate most of our meals in the sit down dining room which was served very formally, although we only had to wear long pants and collared shirts. No dress up. In our cabin we had free laundry service, and shoe shining. Fresh towels daily, and full clean up each day. We are spoiled. Would go with Viking again.
