I've never been to Lenny's...I know somebody that used to work there, but never heard them say anything about the food.

Prime Rib is always different wherever you go. Every chef has their own way of making it. Some have issues with cooking it rare because it won't taste as good...some season the meat, & some don't.
I work at Catamaran's (not currently because of the season) & people either loved their prime rib, or it just wasn't to their liking. The chef there cooks it a certain way, & will only make it rare to a certain extent. Catamaran's has some YUMMYYYY homemade cream of crab soup though. Mmm!

I don't think I'd use Catamaran's as a measuring stick for any kind of cuisine, especially Prime Rib.

FOr one Prime Rib shouldn't come out of a vacuum pack, it shouldn't be individually sliced prior to cooking, and it shouldn't be grilled.

And I've never known any cook/ chef that actually cooked a prime rib that didn't season it.

A slice of Prime Rib should look raw, shouldn't have grill marks and shouldn't be brown or grey.. but RED or a dark pink. Your plate should look like the floor of a butcher shop..

You shouldn't have to chew, as a correctly prepared Prime Rib will just melt in your mouth, as the blood dribbles down your chin.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you worked in the kitchen at Catamaran's. D-bag.
First of all they slice the meat after it is ordered--No 'vacuum pack' or pre-slicing to that. It's not grilled, & it is seasoned, as well as marinated in Au Jous. & I disagree with you on the bloody & RED part because not every person likes meat like that. I don't usually eat food that's still red or pink in the middle. Like I said, the chef there doesn't like cooking the prime rib REALLY rare- that's just his style, but it can be cooked to your liking.

Half the things people say about the place AREN'T true, & all the crap that gets stirred around to give Catamaran's their not-so-good rep is mostly bull too. Obviously you don't know first hand.

This is a thread about Lenny's. You should start one about Prime rib....

Personally I like to eat sub-prime rib in celebration of our current economic crisis!

You're right BlueBird. It is a forum about Lenny's.
Thats why I said everywhere you go they cook prime rib differently, so don't base your opinions solely on one meal/visit.

If there weren't people commenting on the prime rib at Catamaran's then I guess there wouldn't have been a conversation about it.

Oh yeah. Obviously we (Catamaran's) are just a big ol' craphole. I guess that's why we get so much business :duh: & I walk out with $200+ a night.


Lenny's servers make nothing...now that equals crappy service.
& Not to mention the stuff you dont and/or want to know about Lenny's.

It's mostly seasonal work. Nobody really stays in the winter just because it's not reliable income except for the bar part & holidays (a lot of our seating is outside). But in April is when we start getting busy again!

I used to eat in Catamaran's ages ago. I remember them having excellent fried oysters, was never really crazy about the wings. The reason I stopped going is because it's a cess pool. Dirty bathrooms, nasty carpet, and they seat people at dirty tables/bar. I've actually gone in and sat at a dirty bar when they have only 3 or 4 customers in the place. If this is what the customers see, I can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen.

It may be better now, but I have no desire to find out.

Depends on when you went. If your talking about 10+ years ago, it wasn't Catamaran's then. We don't have carpet anywhere...? The bathrooms are re-done because of a fire from the roof guys that happened right before Tiki Bar opening & if you went during nightclub, you can thank your fellow barmates because they seem to like to TRASH the bathrooms upstairs & downstairs.

Besides this. I'm done defending Catamaran's--people believe what they want.



Have a nice day y'all!

Please call me Fred..... No need to be so "formal".

Catamaran's does well during the summer because of where it's located and because of the outdoor seating and live Buffet wanabe. The food is mediocre at best.

I have always had great service at Lenny's and I really don't care how much you or they make. Someday you'll get a real job and you'll learn that $200.00 on an occasional good night is nothing to brag about.

Oh, and ItsBob was right on about how prime rib should be prepared. If you worked at a real restaurant you would know this.

No, it wasn't 10+ years ago, that's why I said "Catamaran's".

It really doesn't matter what you do to the place. As long as you attract the same ol' clientale year after year, you'll get the same kind of damage. As long as the owners/manager's only care about the bottom line, you'll continue to have employee's who don't give a ####.

They're not my fellow bar mates. I don't associate with animals. That's why you'll never see me in Catamaran's.
