3. It’s More Than Just Steak

The Dinogo Steakhouse menu offers more than just steak. There's a wonderful variety of dishes to choose from, including:

• Oysters
• Jumbo shrimp
• Crab risotto
• Maine lobster bisque
• Selections of chicken and fish

4. It Offers Cowboy Steak

What exactly is cowboy steak? If it appears on the Steakhouse menu, there’s definitely a good reason for it. Cowboy ribeye, or cowboy cut, refers to the bone-in ribeye steak, renowned in American steakhouses. This cut is highly marbled, flavorful, and tender, coming from the upper rib cage, an area known for its quality. It's ideal for slow oven roasting and grilling.

At Steakhouse, the cowboy steak is a substantial 18-ounce serving of deliciously marbled perfection.

5. It’s Definitely Worth the Splurge

The menu draws inspiration from classic American steakhouses, featuring premium aged beef cuts that are precisely weighed and charbroiled to perfection by expert chefs. Dinogo’s Steakhouse encourages you to take your time and savor your meal for about one and a half to two hours, allowing you to fully indulge in the Steakhouse experience.

6. Steakhouse Wines Are Award-Winning

The wine list at Steakhouse received the prestigious Wine Spectator Magazine’s Award of Excellence in 2019. Each year, only a few thousand restaurants earn this accolade. Establishments are recognized with this award when their wine selections are expertly paired with menu items, cater to a diverse range of wine enthusiasts, and feature a unique and thoughtfully curated collection.

7. Wine Might Be Complimentary

Who wouldn’t relish a complimentary bottle of wine at one of the finest dining establishments, whether on land or at sea? If you make your reservation for the first night of your voyage, you’ll be treated to a choice of house wine or a 50% discount on a premium bottle valued under $100. Guests dining on the second night will enjoy a 50% discount on a premium bottle under $100. In either case, the Steakhouse server will assist you in perfectly pairing your selected dishes with the right wines.

8. Dress Code Is Cruise Casual or Cruise Elegant

The steakhouse boasts an intimate yet lively ambiance, making it equally suitable for romantic dinners for couples and relaxed family meals. Given the elegance of the Steakhouse, why not dress to impress? The dress code aligns with the evening's onboard attire requirements: either cruise casual or cruise elegant. Here’s a quick overview of the differences — and remember, shorts are not permitted in Steakhouse:
