Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Categories: Steakhouses, Wine Bars
The restaurant is located on the corner, near Bloomingdales, facing ECR.
6oz fillet was good. Carrot soup was good. The potato scallops and corn kernels sides were good.
The frozen cheesecake was, well, partially frozen and not made onsite. Wasn't good.
Overall it's 4-yelp stars.
Even with a :45min drive back home, the pizza was still good!
Steak fries = 400 cal?
Yes. That was dinner. YUM.

House of Prime Rib
Category: Steakhouses
Neighborhood: Nob Hill
I think HoPR is even busier than before, Bourdain had No Reservations, with a segment filmed here.
Found parking around the corner, that almost never happens in this neighborhood. Arrived :25min before reservations, was seated about :10min past reservations.
Ate 1/4 of the fresh warm loaf of bread.
Finished my entire plate of salad.
Started with my creamed spinach, forming a aujus dam to the Yorkshire Pudding (saving it for last!)
Baked potato everything on the side, ate about 1/5th of it, including skin.
Switched off between King cut, med-rare, creamed spinach (2/3 done), baked potato (1/2 done). Saving the pr dark edge for last.
Waitress comes to ask for seconds, I said yes, she took my plate.... here I thought they'd just put the seconds on the same plate.
:-( I lost the best parts.
Finished off my seconds and was full.
Tiramisu put me over the drowning point.
I was full. I was happy. I lost my Yorkshire pudding. I was full.

What else can I say that the other 160+ reviewers didnt... this place is great for prime rib, the yorkshire pudding, the creamed spinach, and the bread. And don't forget the large metal carving station that the chef's wheel around. The main dining hall can be noisy, there's some smaller rooms in the back area. It's advisable to make weekend reservations, walk-ins are accepted but you may have to wait, go there before 5:30p if you must walk-in.
The English Cut is already sliced for you, you dont seem to get a much as if you were to order the House cut or the King cut.
This place will run you about $40+drinks+tip.
Here, I got the Whitestone; ricotta scoops on a slice. Also got the Brooklyn; meat.
The slices were thin and stiff (reminds me of flatbread pizza), not overly cheesy or greasy.
I liked the Whitestone, except for the cold ricotta (see reason below). The Brooklyn was ok, a bit dry. I've had better NY slices elsewhere in the bay area.
The slices weren't heated hot enough, it wasn't like they were busy at the time to rush my slices out of the oven; so it was a disappointment, not a fan of luke warm pizza.
$6 flat for two slices and a fountain soda.
Street parking or a parking lot a few blocks away behind La Boulangerie.
Finally a place I can go for coffee/mocha cake.

Lots of flash goes on this street.
From the lofts/apt/condos overlooking the 'Row to the talent on a summer evening, you can tell this is a pricey street.
Almost all of the stores are upscale, with upscale-hip restaurants that attaract the flashy crowd. After work drinks, families looking for a place to hang out with their kids, and anyone else who wants a place to stroll around that's no where near the overly policed downtown SJ.
Ample parking, but can be difficult in the evenings... the 'Row attracts the night crowd.
I don't know how the stores make any business, I've seen a lot of stores come and go, some do well, but the biggest draw are the restaurants.
Oh, be sure to check out the chess tables and the large scale playable chess pieces at the back of the 'Row.
A Farmer's Market also goes down here.
There's a small courtyard/park area near Maggiano/Urban Outfitter that sometimes hosts jazz or events.
We had party of 12 and there were many dishes ordered so I only remembered my order. All in all the split came to be very cheap $13pp; I don't think we had a 1:1 dishes:person.
All the entrees we had ordered were yummy.
Plenty of parking if they're not busy.
They've been around since 1987.
While the other place skimps on portions this location piles it on; so much so that it didn't seem they could wrap it. I wasn't the on one, others in front of me in line had huge burritos though look more round than cylindric.
Carnitas, rice, pinto, mild, cheese, cream, lettuce, corn; foil barely wrapping the burrito. I don't care how they cut the lettuce (to that other yelper), it's all going in my belly as whole as I can from scarfing.
I'm stuffed; and I don't say that often! HA!

The replacement is now a single department store, the first floor is a parking garage.
There are now two parking structures and a ground level parking area for this Target, if you can't find a space you're not trying.
I hate the original parking garage, it still stands but is closed. The new parking garage is ok, but still not engineered with cars and pedestrians in mind. Short ramp up to the bottleneck of pedestrians/carts. Making traffic go in one of two aisles to get to more parking spaces/ upper floors.
As for the store, it's nice, layout is like any other Target. There's a grocery/produce area. The men's clothing dept is tiny, smaller than Cupertino's Men's section.
The floors are clean, as it should for a few day old store.
The cart escalator already broke, and there was a Team Target engineer standing by instructing how to use it. If you parked below Target, your options of getting your purchases is the elevator, escalator, cart escalator. Bottlenecks if there's a lot of shoppers or if it breaksdown. If you park in the new garage, you don't have to worry about these bottlenecks.
As for the new tenants who live directly across Target, let's hope you keep your blinds down. LOL.
