I asked for crabmeat on top. They gave me crabmeat and whatever sauce that was on top. It was good. Would recommend. $90 for three course prix fixe.

I'm not sure which is worse, the plating or the photography

I love Flemings but that looks like a nice steak with velveeta melted over the top

It's a shame a cat threw up all over that nice looking steak.

That steak itself looks phenomenal but that plating is atrocious. The sauce, the 3 sprigs of asparagus and the plate itself detract from the steak.

That being said IWETHOOI

Neither. The fact that the server put the bone on the right side. The protein should be on the right side so that 90% of guests can cut it.

The car keys tossed on the table and the knife facing the wrong way are nice touches to the pic.

What were the three courses? Crab, steak and asparagus?

I agree with this. Just a bad camera shot it happens.

You missed the moscow mule!

There's barely enough asparagus there to count as a garnish.

That's a pretty good deal.

I ate at Ruth's Chris in Boise last weekend and they wanted $115 for their 40oz Tomahawk and it was a la carte.

The waiter said it was his personal favorite and tried selling it pretty hard.

Like he could afford that.

It's not unheard of for them to be making $50k there after tips at a nice steakhouse. I'm sure there's an employee discount to so I don't get why you have to look down on him as if not making $300k a year is a bad thing.

You do realize that waiters and waitresses occasionally taste the food they are selling, right?

And the ones in BR are pulling around 60-70k a year so them splurging on a nice steak isnt out of this world

They also get it for half price. Or that's what my friend got when he were in college and he parked cars at Ruth in Lafayette

Ahem...where? I waited tables at a nice place in college and didn't sniff that. Granted it was part time but converted to a full time gig, I might've pulled 35-40

I guess I should have clarified. He wasn't our actual waiter, but the guy who assisted him bringing the water and clearing the plates.

I know the real waiters make a killing.

I wasn't looking down on him. He was a college aged kid. I just thought it was funny that his personal favorite just so happened to be the most expensive thing on the menu.

Of course I do.

I also knew he was pushing it pretty hard to increase the amount of his tip.

I wasn't knocking him for it, I just found it to be funny.

Best 2 items that Fleming's serves is their burger and pork chop.

Oh, and Chocolate Molten Lava Cake.

Don't know about the Boise operation, by knowing some who managed the BR operation for many years, it's affordable to folks who work there plus they sample the menu.
