Is it okay to ask a (steak) restaurant to pre-cut your steak back in the kitchen?

| I think medium rare serves their steak presliced? |

| OP if you want your steak already cut, go to Medium Rare. They are open for carry-out. |

Not ok.
But we were on a cruise last year and my 8 year old ordered steak several times for dinner and each time they asked if he wanted it cut up. I was THRILLED to not have to do it for him. |

Haha seems like something my Spoiled 10 yo would do!
I was hoping he would grow out of it but apparently some people never do... |

No. I think it’s a great idea. I would ask for it. I think I will next time. I’m a great tipper, so nbd. |

| Of course it is. No self respecting Chef would refuse little customization and this is not even doing nothing as far as cooking. .it is just cutting.. 5 second deal really. |

| You can ask and they can say no. Our cooks would tell the server to get lost. |

I'm guessing most of these responses are from people who consider Sizzler their main steakhouse. The best steakhouses will happily cut in the kitchen - especially because the trend now is to order 2-3 steaks for the table so everyone can try a bit of each.
But if you insist that you have your own medium well 12 oz filet yeah don't cut that in the kitchen. |
