Had a pleasant surprise tonight. Went to Jamisons, which is the old Laseks Bar just off the Oakland exit on the Parkway East. I had their special which was 12 oz Prime rib. It was served with salad, baked potato and broccoli and cauliflower combo. The meat was much larger than 12 oz. and done to perfection. On the down side it was sliced off the roast and then grilled until done. While this is not how I prefer my meat done, it was extremely tender and and full of flavor. The potato was done perfectly (which is hard to get these days). The vegetables done perfectly. My better half had angel hair pasta tossed with olive oil garlic parmesan cheese mushrooms tomatoes and olives. Pasta was al dente and there was enough garlic to make it truly favorable. My prime rib was $8.99 and the pasta was $6.50. Both were great bargains and deserve a look when going there. If you are looking for a place with waiters in tuxes and an extensive foreign wine list, this is not the place. But is you are looking for a family restaurant with modest prices and good food give it a try.
