Aristotle's Steak & Seafood

A bit of a disappointment

The wait staff was friendly and prompt. The portion sizes were large. Unfortunately, the praise stops there. I food was very underwhelming. I started with an appetizer of mussels in a tomato-based sauce. Many of the mussels were either unopened or only partially opened. That is not a good sign for freshness. My main course was seared veal steak Oscar style topped with asparagus and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise was nearly flavorless and was separated. The crab was a rubbery to the point that wondered if it was imitation. This most certainly was not the worst restaurant in which I have eaten, but it did not measure up to the level described by other reviewers.

We have lived within walking distance from this restaurant for over 9 years. Why we have never gone beyond me. But I can certainly tell you it will not be the last. We started with the Caesar salad made fresh at our table. It was "delish". The appetizers were very tasty. Shrimps were fresh and the cocktail sauce tasted homemade. Both steaks were made exactly the way we requested them. We completed this outstanding meal with B52 coffee and creme bruler cheese cake. My mouth is still watering as I write this review. I cannot wait to visit again. Next time we will try the lamb. Something tells me we will not be disappointed.

May 2009 I took my fiance to Aristotle's and he was amazed. The atmosphere was incredible, and the hosts made us feel like family. We spent the evening impressed as they made our ceasar salad from scratch. They even went the extra mile and told us the history of Aristole's. This family owned restaurant has captured our hearts so much that we took his mother there for her birthday. Even she was overwelmed with the portions. Aristotle's is worth every penny. Keep Amazing People with your warm and happy environment!!! Thank you Peter, Nick and John!

Read the reviews and I wonder if some of these...

Read the reviews and I wonder if some of these people are from outer space!! We have been going to this establishment for over 20 years, and yes sometimes they make mistakes, but we are still going there and its our favorite restaurant. I called in on Saturday, July 25, 2009 at 1:25 PM and requested Table # 50 (fireplace) and we arrived just after 7:00 PM, and the table was taken by 4 young people. We were sitted at the back of the restaurant, all alone and we really didn't care where we were seated as we had come for a meal. Ask for John to make the Ceasar Salad, its to die for!!. He gives great service and sings Happy Birthday like an Opera Singer or Pavarotti. Nick makes great drinks and tends to your every whim!! Peter is a legend in his own mind and will tell you stories, so just do him a favor and laugh at his jokes. It makes him feel better. This restaurant is open for LUNCH and you should try and get in and sample the food. We have had special 50th Wedding Anniversaries, 90th Birthdays and just plain birthdays and we all come back. They have a special menu for these events and it is quite reasonable. Make your reservation, go in and really enjoy yourself, its well worth it. Escargots are and have been the best I've ever eaten!! The garlic bread is also the best you will ever have. Cliff

Aristotles, The Place for Fine Dining

Although we were late for our reservations an intimate table was provided. The cocktails were made to perfection and were generous. Delicious garlic bread, the best dill pickles and yummy olives were brought to the table immediately. My husband ordered halibut and had ordered ceasar salad instead of house. The ceasar was excellent, although I thoroughly enjoyed my house salad I will order ceasar the next time. A massive, perfectly cooked prime rib was placed in front of me and I figured this would have been enough to feed my large family! Every bite was delicious and again although I had an incredible meal in front of me I enjoyed each bite I took off my husband. I brought over half my meal home and am enjoying it once agian. Aristotles has been a long term favorite of ours and the meal we had reminded us of why we alway choose Aristotles.
