Price (for RW): $$$$
Steve Fields' was one of my first ever RW experiences almost 10 years ago! I can't believe it's been a decade I've been participating in Restaurant Week. Definitely have had some great food over the years! hehe. I remember that Steve Fields' was very good. The portions were big, quality was top notch, and service was great. I hoped that 10 years later, it would still be the same!
We arrived for our reservation at 6:30PM. Most of the restaurant is already packed with people. We were seated in a smaller side room (which happened to be the room I was in 10 years ago!) haha. And it's a pretty big restaurant, so business is going strong! And considering that it's been around for almost half my life. It's definitely an establishment in West Plano.
We were greeted by our waitress who was super nice. She took our drink orders and gave us a rundown on the menu.
I had 3 Central Market 4th Course certificates so I went ahead and gave them to her at the beginning. For those of you new to RW, some restaurants offer a 4th course that you can either pay for or get for free with a Central Market Certificate. To get a certificate, you have to spend $25 at Central Market. But make sure the restaurant you are going to actually offers that before you go spending lots of $$ at Central Market! haha.
Each certificate got us Two U-12 Wild Caught Jumbo Shrimp (topped with spicy cocktail and remoulade sauce).
We also got some Bread (rosemary foccacia??, with whipped butter and spicy oil) during our shrimp course.
1st Course
Steve's Caesar Salad (romaine lettuce, croutons, Caesar dressing, anchovies).
Baby Spinach Salad (topped with toasted pecans, tangerines, onions, blue cheese crumbles, hot bacon dressing).
Blue Crab & Roasted Corn Chowder (velvety stew of sweet crab, roasted corn and cream).
Next are the Entrees, which were all served with roasted garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes and seasoned grilled asparagus.
"Center Cut" Filet Mignon (6 oz. Filet Mignon seasoned and broiled to perfection).
Pan Seared Sea Bass (fish filet topped with crab meat and bearnaise sauce).
Roasted Prime Rib of Beef (hand carved and served with Au jus and creamy horseradish sauce).
It was a lot of food, but pretty much everyone cleaned their plates.
Then it's time for Dessert!
Carrot Cake (topped with candied pecans).
Key Lime Pie (with graham cracker crust).
Aside from the puckering pie, haha, we had a great meal. My dad really enjoyed his birthday celebration. Everyone loved the food. Our waitress was great, very attentive without being overbearing. The courses were all served at a timely manner. Success!! :D
By the middle of our meal, the entire restaurant had filled up too. And when we left, there were a bunch of people waiting for tables in the lobby. Wow... business sure is good! And I'm happy to see that. I think Steve Fields' will be around for a really long time. :)

It comes with 2 bone-in pork chops. It was yummy! The pork chops were cooked nicely and had a nice amount of fat around the sides. The sweet peach sauce paired with the pork really nicely. The veggies on the side were also cooked well and tasty. For the portion and quality, it was a great deal!
I think it was a 16oz steak. It looked sooooo good! It was super tender and had so much flavor. Delicious! The egg on top had a runny yolk and was definitely the cherry on top. The mushrooms were awesome and the crispy potatoes added a nice crunch. It was a really good steak!
I saw this on their website and I wanted to order this initially. The online reviews raved about this. It looked really good when they brought it out. I only had a bite and I remembered liking it, but I really don't remember what it tasted like. haha. There were too many other even better dishes... I did think the waffles were too thin though.
It came in a cute little cast iron container. The truffle flavor was very bold. I liked it. Rich and creamy.
This was also another dish that reviews raved about. There were a few bad reviews on this though. It was interesting. The combination of the melted brie, chicken and dried cranberries were pretty good. But the brie is too mild so you only get the texture of the melted cheese but not really much of the flavor. The chips were pretty generic. It wasn't really a 'salsa' either..more like craisins sprinkled on top. It shouldn't have been more than $8 in my opinion.
This sounded really interesting on the menu. It was a small plate but very satisfying. I would say other than the prime rib, this was my other favorite dish of the night. The duck was tender and it was great with the crispy sweet potato. The blackberry sauce added a nice sweetness and tang to round out the dish. YUMM!
It was like a slice of a bundt cake. It was super good. I liked it a lot. It was really moist and I can definitely taste the kahlua. It wasn't too sweet and light. The whipped cream and berries were a nice compliment.
It just sounded so interesting. It was pretty good. Also super moist and light. I didn't get much of the root beer float flavor though. It seemed more like a cinnamon or spice cake.
The pancakes were pretty big and full of blueberries. So pretty! And it came with a cute little log cabin container of maple syrup. I've heard that Berkshire maple syrup is one of the best? I'm not an expert, but I do know its 100% pure maple syrup. The pancakes were awesome! Super light and fluffy and lots of blueberries. Every once in a while you'll get a pocket of ricotta. :) And the syrup wasn't too sweet, which I liked. I shared about 1/4 of it and basically devoured the rest. haha.
It was a HUGE plate. I suggested he substitute the home fries for the salad which was a good idea. The salad made the dish lighter and it was really fresh and yummy. The frittata had tons of stuff in it but was still not too heavy. If you are hungry, this'll definitely fill you up!
This was another item that's been raved about on reviews. It was pretty good. So simple, yet delicious. The bacon was definitely nice and thick, lots of flavor. The egg was cooked nicely with a runny yolk. It's definitely a sandwich you eat with your hands because the sourdough is too hard to cut thru. But careful of the yolk cuz it gets messy. A good messy. :P I personally would've like to see a different bread... like a brioche or something.. on the sandwich (since I'm not a fan of sourdough) but it was still a really good dish.
The burger didn't look that big, but the patty was thick! The flavors were great.The meat was really tender and juicy. I really liked the sweetness from the apple chipotle ketchup. The bread was soft and buttery with a slight crisp on the edges. Pretty good burger if you ask me! hehe.
We liked the beef tongue a lot so we decided to try the Ox tongue. I liked this even better than the beef tongue. Also thinly sliced and the green onion/salty marinade was super tasty. The green onions had light onion flavors that really made this good.
My friends told us we had to try this and see for ourselves. They had hesitations the first time they had it since its raw marinated beef with a raw yolk. I hope its super good quality!! Yikes! So you mix up the yolk into the beef with a little squeeze of lemon and dig in! 
It was really good! Didn't feel or taste like you were eating raw meat at all. The marinade wasn't overpowering but it definitely got rid of that raw meat flavor. The meat was super tender. If you are adventurous, definitely try this. You won't regret it!
I love grilled squid but sometimes it can get chewy. Not this one! The texture was perfect! We ordered 2. :)
