On day 5 of restaurant week I found my self having dinner with friends at Flemings in UTC (it claims to be in La Jolla, but that's a bit of a reach). Their $40 menu offered three courses and a side. One quick note, when going to a steak house on a Thursday during restaurant week, MAKE RESERVATIONS. That way, you won't have to sit at the short part of the bar (reminiscent of sitting at the kid's table on Thanksgiving).

For the salad course, I went with the Caesar. Not bad...but certainly nothing that stood out. The lettuce was mostly white, the dressing was bland, and there were a scant few croutons.

Main course was an 8oz filet mignon. They really hit a home run here. The meat was perfectly cooked to mid-rare-plus and had more flavor that one would expect from beef tenderloin. For sides, I went with the Fleming's potatoes and a some chipotle mac and cheese. I had had the potatoes before and wasn't particularly impressed, but tonight they nailed it. The texture was neither mushy nor hard, and the gooey cheese topping was devine. The mac and cheese was good too.

Dessert was a peanut butter chocolate sandwich. In retrospect, I would have gone in a different direction, but sweets are sweets.

Service was good...in fact, the bartender recommended an off-the-menu red by the glass that perfectly complimented the steak (Merlott Cab Sav--Merlott is a vineyard, not a misspelled grape). Tune in tomorrow to see what day 6 has to offer.
