DECEMBER 2018
Connors Steak & Seafood, Gulf Center Drive, Ft. Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
WOW...OUTSTANDING....
The only thing I hate about this place is it is TOO far to drive from Cape Coral.
I was here for a self deserved birthday lunch...
I was served fresh hot bread with a wonderful side of garlic infused olive oil.
I got a medium rare, of course prime rib with a creamed spinach side.
Lets not forget my lobster bisque.
Service was as always top notched. And as a birthday gift...strawberry pound cake and ice cream.
You know this place is GRAND.... empty on my arrival full when I leave.
I HATE CHAINS EATERY...BUT...THIS IS MY ONE EXCEPTION
WOW ! I was so surprise as to how great this place was for us. We stopped in on a Saturday 3PM. My wifey just landed from San Francisco and we needed to splurge for my birthday.. We were greeted warmly and seated in a great location. The place was about 1/3 filled.
First our waitress ,Vanessa, was a idiot savant ( in an outstanding way) This wonderful gal was able to remember EVRYTHING about our orders. She did this without writing anything down on a pad / pencil. PLUS with absolutely NO mistakes.
This was the FIRST and only bar since living in SW Florida that knew and was able to bring me my drink of choice, a Brandy Separator, WOW!
The bread was served warm with a spicy of sorts olive oil. mmmmmmmmmm.
The appetizer's of Lobster dip & fried mushroom were perfect. Mushroom burnt our tongue and side dip was very tangy. ahhhhhh
Salads were chilled and just the right size, including the correct amount of dressing.
AHHHH MMMMM the main entrée. We both had the prime rib medium rare. The only way a REAL carnivore should eat it. Any thing above that YOU ARE A IDIOT. (This means 95 % of Floridians fall in to this category, LOL).
The beef was so tender that you could almost cut it with a fork only. MMMMMMMMM it was heaven. The baked potato and garlic mash potato was smile worthy.
Over all a 5 star experience. It equal a steak house in San Francisco. And just blew away the Shula place in ,Naples.
2nd visit.......Well, The snowbirds have found this place. I needed to wait 15 minutes for a table.
Michael was my server.. Did a great job. Food was delivered in a timely manner. Cooked to perfection. Saw our previous server, Vanessa .She remember us. Had a manager stopped by the table.
My experience here has been OUTSTANDING.
My wife had the lunch item of a $10.00 prime rib sandwich & mac/cheese. A great value and deal. Me the ever good prime rib dinner. A must have for me.
This is must try place.
