EAZ pops into their local Fleming’s Steakhouse to grab a bite. And this time they skipped the steak and burgers and opted for something a bit lighter, Cobb Salads:

These $28 masterpieces come with either Maine lobster and tarragon ranch or sliced filet mignon with red onion balsamic. In both cases, you get chopped romaine, bleu cheese crumbles, crispy bacon, tomatoes, avocadoes, white mushrooms, and asparagus – all mixed tableside and served as a full meal portion. But to accompany, we ordered Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes which come with roasted red pepper and lime butter sauce.

A little let down gets rescued by a sharp server:

The crab cakes, for whatever reason, weren’t swimming in perfection, like things that come out of any Fleming’s kitchen usually are. We couldn’t put our finger on it, but they were just eh (yep, just used eh as an adjective). Our server picked up on our lack of enthusiasm and offered to send something else out. We put the onus on her and the chef to pick something. What came out was incredible, an A++ appetizer that’s not only reason to return to Fleming’s, but something we would have never ever ordered: lettuce wraps filled with lump crab and served Louis-style. We could’ve eaten platter after platter of these clean, refreshing beauties.
