Best Steakhouses in Daytona Beach

Christmas Eve Dinner engagement. Everyone was amazing except for 1 waiter not servicing our table. I was preparing to propose to my sweetheart at the end of diner and moved my chair closer to her to be more intimate for the moment and I know I was in the isle but it was going to be a brief moment and I was rudely interrupted a server immediately while I was prosing. I completely understood why but the rudeness of this individual was completely uncalled for. As an attempt to briefly explain the purpose of my position was to propose. I moved my chair back and lightly tapped the server on the should to request his attention and a brief moment to explain he immediately got defensive and abruptly DO NOT TOUCH ME. I apologized by my approach was not to offend or make a scene but everyone else around us noticed his demeanor. I explained what I was preparing to do and he responded too bad you are not going to block the isle way. I quickly realized this serve was going to create a scene so due to the nature of the situation I would step away and return to my sweetheart and finish my proposal. Later our servers and the manager came to apologize and offer a free desert and anything else the could do to make the best of the moment. I am grateful for all the service and the manager’s attention to make the best of moment that was to be very a positive romantic moment for us. We are from Columbus, Ohio where there are 3 amazing Hyde Park Restaurants and we usually dine during special family moments and frequent romantic dates and will continue to dine at those locations where we are a valued customer and provided superior service and exceptional food. Maybe this server was having a bad day but he had no right to destroy our evening with in a split second. I truly hope management will address this servers behavior and not allow him to ruin another couples special moment. If the manager of this location in Daytona Beach received this review I’m sure he will know.

Overall it was great. It was busy as expected for a Christmas Eve dinner. But the service was still quick and great. The only thing was I felt that the porter house we ordered for two was quite a bit smaller than usual. But overall it was great as usual.

We love Ruth's. I wish there were holiday decorations in the dining room. That made the occasion mundane. Yes, nice tree in the foyer, but that was it. My 11.oz filet and shrimp were perfect, but the plate was sooo small, i could not add any sides to it, after I took the shrimp off the top. The garlic mashed had no garlic I could detect and were dry. I had to add table butter to soften them. Drinks were awesome, other than getting regular coke instead of diet on a refill. The Ceasar salad was one of the best I have had. The bread pudding was much better than my past encounters with it. Overall, a 4.5. Which in this day and age is a small miracle. And my wife's giant lobster was to die for.

We went to Fleming’s on Christmas Eve. There were a lot of people but the service was excellent and the food was great. Laura, our waiter, was very attentive and did a great job!!! Definitely plan to return!!!

This dining experience was excellent. From the time we entered the door, until the time we exited, it was a pleasure. The server, Lezza, was so enjoyable to interact with. I spoke to Rick, one of the managers and he was a total class act.
