Cagney's Steakhouse Review — Is It Worth It for Norwegian Bliss Cruisers?
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
The French onion soup blows any French onion soup out of the water. Any other one. Princess restaurants.
The salad was a real disappointment. It was salad is not great. Nice and fresh, but it was a watery dressing.
The steak itself, it was tasty, but it was overcooked. You know, again, you're in a steak house, you're typically paying $60 for a steak if you're not on a package. And it was overcooked.
The dessert was actually very good. I had the butterscotch uh cheesecake and it was that was delicious. That was definitely the highlight of my meal.
