Our first visit to Remington's was on a recent weeknight. We made reservations but they certainly were not needed as the dining room was nearly empty. By contrast the bar lounge area was rather busy. A piano and lounge singer could be heard into the dining room, kind of a nice background that we did enjoy. Others have raved about this being a classy place. I sure didn't get that vibe. It was more 80's dated hotel restaurant than classy to me.
We had a very attentive waiter who served us well. There seemed to be a lot of servers with a lot of busy acitivty, constantly in and out of swinging doors. There was a large group in a private closed off dining area. We noticed most patrons were in their Senior years. Maybe they alternate between here and Charleston's?
Between us we ordered steak & grilled salmon with a potato dish to share and a couple of side salads. The steak was not cooked as requested but we didn't bother to send it back. Salmon was unremarkable. The tomato mozzarella salad was abundant but yellow tomatoes were inedible mush and the red tomatoes were just flavorless. Lyonnaise potatoes were a tad greasy. Dinners are all ala carte. Nothing was particularly bad, just nothing to get excited about. I felt like I was dining in a hotel restaurant, food was delivered with plastic covers like they use in room service dining.
Overall I have to say I was simply underwhelmed. After reading other reviews I had greater expectations for Remington's. At a total of $84 (no alcohol) we expected more. If I were a hotel guest on an expense account, maybe I would have felt differently. For the money, next time I would drive just down the street and go to Ruth's Chris. We won't be hurrying back to Remington's.
