Best Steak House Ever!

by Lisa9405 at Citysearch

Fiamma Steak is the best steak house that I have ever eaten at and I have been to many steak houses throughout the country! The chopped salad is delicious and is big enough to feed 2-4 people. I have had the filet, ribeye, cowboy steaks as well as the fried chicken and gnocchi. The appetizers are phenomenal as well and the desserts are to die for! Every thing on the menu has been fantastic and I always bring lots of leftovers home! The owner, Noel, was very welcoming and seems to have a very good business sense. The food is definitely worth the price and I recommend this restaurant to everyone that I know.

• Pros: Customer service, ambiance, entire menu
• Cons: I can't find any cons to this restaurant

Great food and service; but please avoid that music

You never know when a friend of a friend recommends something, especially when neither friend has been to the place. So we sashayed into Fiamma with no expectations, declining the valet parking, and firing questions at a gentleman at the bar who appeared to be of management stripes. How is the food? What are the quality - specifically the grade - of the steaks? A customer at the bar interrupted. The food is really good, he said. So we stayed. We're glad we did.

Both salads, for example, were perfect. The harvest salad and the steakhouse salad were ample, of fresh and quality ingredients and exceeding our expecations. The meats, however, convinced us that we should return. The special of the night, a huge ribeye, was marinated and served as ordered. It was delicious, thick, and tasting of good quality beef. We prefer if the grade of beef - in this case - real certified angus, is

impressive, there be no seasoning, but nonetheless this was a joy to consume. Same with lamb chops. These two hungry carnivores had enough for snacks the next few days.

What bothered us was the intense disco that played loudly throughout our meal. Imagine praying while water dripped on your head. Very annoying. Classical, jazz, Sinatra, Cole Porter, Gershwin. Anything but that. Please. We cannot imagine that the folks who would afford to quality of this place would want to be serenaded in such an obsterperous manner.

• Pros: Steaks, salads, service
• Cons: The loud, insistent, inappropriate music

Good Food & Service!

My BF & I went there for my birthday because of some good reviews I found elsewhere.

The food was good and innovative, I got a pan seared sea scallop over a bed of crispy onion bits with a creole mustard sauce. The BF ordered an appetizer that was a special -a seafood salad-. It was cold cooked calamari (squid if you wish) and he loved it because it wasn't chewy like most places cook it. With also scallop & shrimp in there.

The BF got a steak with garlic mashed potatoes, the steak was perfectly cooked. I ordered a pan seared whitefish with lobster mashed potatoes which was really good also. I also got a pear martini that was really good.

We were meeting people for dessert afterwards so we did not try their dessert but it looked appetizing. The service was great, our waiter was very nice to us, he was willing to offer insight as to what the key ingredients of the dishes were. He even brought us by two miniature desserts at the end when I didn't order any!

Overall I was really satisfied with our dinner and would definitely recommend it to others.

• Pros: Great service and good food
• Cons: Location. It's got a decent sky roof but you're looking at a fast lube across the street!
