| - I came here for dinner for a reunion of a dear friend of mine whom I haven't seen in almost 16 years and I wanted to treat her to nice dinner since she's staying at the famous El Cortez hotel here in Fremont East.
I've read the reviews and they were always mixed but, my friend didn't want to travel to any of the new restaurants that have sprung opened in the recent 3 years, I optioned for Siegel's restaurant.
The wait time wasn't very long and we were seated. The decor and ambience is to reflect the old school times of when Fremont street were run by the organized crime bosses of its era.
Pictures of its former leaders adorn the walls and the furniture are echoes of its historic past.
The waitstaff are nice and our waiter Des was quick to come and get our drink order.
Shortly after, our food order was placed. It is an ala cart menu and offers many comfort food selections.
I ordered the prime rib rare, and a side of Au Gratin Potatoes.
The Au Gratin Potatoes was amazing! Cheesy, sharp cheddar flavor, buttery and creamy. So good!
The prime rib was flavorful but, unfortunately it wasn't rare as I had ordered. Small detail.
In the end, the whole experience was good and the food delicious. The customer service was also good.
I have only four stars because of my preference for prime rib.
Will I come back again? I only live a few blocks away, I may come back in the future - I've had better prime rib, but if I was put into a situation where this was my option, they may find me sitting in their restaurant again in the future.
