Flemings Steakhouse

Evan and I had a gift card from our wedding for Flemings Steakhouse. There was not one in LA until recently when they opened the new LA Live center in Down town. This new center is directly across from the Staples center. It contains several restaurants, a Lucky Strikes bowling alley, a Conga Room, and of course now a Flemings Steakhouse. So we decided to use our gift card Saturday night and check it out. Once we arrived in the area we drove around to try and find parking under $20. After searching we eventually gave in and payed $20 to park. Then we proceeded to the steak house. I ordered the Filet Mignon medium with a side of the Flemings Potatoes. The Flemings Potatoes are scalloped potatoes crusted on top with cheese. Evan got the daily special of Butter Fish with rice pilaf and a side of Asparagus. Most of our dishes where under cooked. The asparagus tasted raw and crunchy. I am a big asparagus fan and I love my asparagus crispy, but this was barely cooked at all and had no flavor. The scalloped potatoes also were not cooked all  the way through. The top part was done, but underneath, was undesirable raw potatoes. Also I ordered my filet medium, but it came out medium rare and was red and bloody most of the way through. The steak was still good, but I do prefer my steak to be a little better cooked. Evan's fish was good, but not for $31. Our favorite part of the meal was the brie cheese they served as a starter with the crostini's. As for nice restaurants the atmosphere was standard and what is expected of a place like this, but if Evan and I were on our own dime we would definitely not choose to come here again.
