Of course, Msc Cruises just had to have an American style steakhouse on board, with delicious meats of various cuts but also excellent cocktails and international appetizers. The atmosphere is cordial and informal with an attentive and impeccable service.
The refrigerated display cases show the guests the various cuts of meat. The walls of the restaurant are dark and the tables are set only with red tablecloths and are surrounded by brown or fake cowhide chairs. The waiters have brown aprons with the Butcher’s Cut logo on them. Part of the kitchen is partially on display for the guests to be able to watch the preparation of the chosen dishes.
