fleming's prime steakhouse & wine bar

bad 50 dollar steak. i spent 50 dollars on a prime rib that was indedible. four bites all fat with gristle. had i not been with a party of 18 ( it took them 1hour to serve us) i would have sent the steak back. however i might add my dog liked the 50 dollar steak. also got a lettuce wedge (for10.50) that still had the lettuce core in it. i have had much better steaks at outback for 20 bucks. never again.

very good steak, very good jumbo shrimp, good wine selection. a little pricey, everything is a la carte. recommend the chipoltle mac n cheese.

first time at flemings. had dinner for the first time at flemings last night. food was excellent from start to finish and service was good as well. had the tuna as an appetizer which was very very good and melted in your mouth. i had the 22 oz bone-in ribeye that you could cut with a fork and had great taste, it was a little fatty and there might have been 14 oz of actual meat. my wife had the porcini rubbed filet mignon that was very good as well. we shared the flemings potatoes, they were average. for dessert we split the cheesecake, one of the best i've ever had (topped w/ real whipped cream, vanilla shavings and blueberry sauce). it was ridiculously good. overall everything was very good but also very expensive. not sure the cost equals the meal because a $200 meal better blow my mind. then again, i'm not the type to spend that much on meal typically (we had a gift card this time). for those that enjoy spending money on a good meal you will enjoy this. for those that enjoy a good meal but want to pay much less i'd save your $$ and go somewhere else. i have a hard time justifying that high a cost on one individual meal.

classic steakhouse experience. we recently visited fleming's and found the experience above-average. the attention we were given from the start of the dining experience inspired us to feel as though we were dining at our server's and/or the manager's homes, rather than at a public restaurant. not only was the meal beautifully prepared, but it was served with timely perfection.

while we dined, two managers visited our table, as well as the bartender (ask for ashton, as she'll take proper care of your drink order). ...all of these people in addition to our server, maria (who was also flawless in her execution and recommendations).

the prix fixe option on the menu ensures that the fleming's experience doesn't have to be costly, either. further, the daily specials always seem eclectic and interesting.

birthday bash

went with friends to celebrate birthday! all had a good time, good food, lots of laughter! drinks were strong & molten lava cake did not disappointment. service was on point

i have to say that i have never received such outstanding service at a restaurant before as i did here. they really went out of their way to be welcoming. it was a celebration dinner and they decorated the table , took a picture of my husband and i (and gave it to us in a little frame), and brought a card and gift of truffles. even the valet came to open our car door despite the fact that we self parked and did not even use valet parking. the food and wine were great. a day later i received a thank you email from the restaurant manager. i am so impressed and definitely plan to return here again and again.

i called the restsurant to make a reservation and request if i can have tuesday’s special on wednesday.

richard the manager was very accommodating and made sure to stop by my table to ensure i got what o asked for. the wait staff are well trained and very courteous. the steak was amazingly delicious.

i have to compliment their marketing department, i think they keep the restsurant busy even during off time!!

when you live in a restaurant mecca like houston, you are never very far from a place to go out to eat. i’m a casual person and i usually go for the more laid back, entertaining venues when i dine out, but i am not opposed to the occasional visit to a place of fine dining. i got my opportunity during a business meeting to visit one such place, and i’m glad i got the opportunity, as it proved an excellent fine dining restaurant. that restaurant is fleming’s prime steakhouse, a chain restaurant with a few locations in the greater houston area.

fleming’s prime steakhouse has all the earmarks of a place of fine dining. they have valet parking and the interior features tablecloth covered seating with nice chairs for that fine dining room feeling. the service is exceptional- the wait staff keeps your glasses full long before they run dry and they constantly check back to make sure you’re being taken care of the way you should be.

for food, fleming’s prime steakhouse prides itself in its ribeye steaks and filet mignon. i had heard many great things about the filet mignon and this is what i ordered when i visited. it was lunch and my appetite wasn’t raging, so i went with the smaller, petite filet. it was juicy and wonderful, prepared exactly the way i requested. it came with a delicious salad as well as two tasty sides, fleming’s potatoes and asparagus. i loved the potatoes the most, but i even liked the asparagus, which says a lot because this is not one of my favorite vegetables. even the bread and butter were well above average and better than what you get in most other restaurants.

if you’re not feeling like beef when you visit, don’t worry- fleming’s prime steakhouse serves other main dishes. next to the beef, they are also known for their seafood, serving such delectable options as king crab legs, sea bass, lobster tails, and salmon. i don’t go for seafood myself, but i could tell by the positive comments from those around me that fleming’s prime steakhouse does, indeed, know a thing or two about the proper preparation of food from the ocean. and if you don’t want seafood either, there are some other choices such as chicken and pork.

for beverages, fleming’s prime steakhouse is known as a wine bar and they do serve a large selection of wines- about 100 to be precise. the beer selection is respectable, too, with about 20 options. and the full service bar is ready to mix up just about any cocktail of your choosing. order what you like until your stomach is nice and full from the food and drink, but make sure you leave space for dessert. you don’t want to miss out on the chance to try the new york cheesecake, walnut turtle pie, or one of the other scrumptious meal- enders.

fine dining is not something i do very frequently, but when a business meeting is in the works and fine dining is the selected meeting space, i have no objection to giving things a try. fleming’s prime steakhouse is a fine dining establishment that is definitely worth your time and it easily earns my respect and recommendation. the food, the atmosphere, and the service are all excellent and it easily rates among the better fine dining restaurant chains in the houston area.

i've dined at fine restaurants all over the world and the service at flemings, considering it's raleigh and not rome or paris or nyc, has been excellent. the staff is always congenial and attentive. the service prompt and with a smile. if you came for a quick meal you'll be disappointed because this is a place where you supposed to enjoy your experience. if it's a special occasion let them know when you make your reservation let them know and they'll roll out the red carpet for you. ( not literally!). my wife and i recently went for her birthday. our table was in a private area away from the crowd and they had sprinkled rose petals on the table. our drinks were served promptly and at the right temperatures. red wine slightly cooled and my beer ice cold! ( i was on a beer drinking kick for a few months.)

the bread was hot and the butter whipped and soft. we ordered the porterhouse and split it. it was perfectly cooked medium rare as requested.

because it was my wife's birthday they threw in her desert and gave us a $25 gift card to use on our return trip. flemings is owned by the same people that own the outback and bonefish, so if you belong to their rewards program you get extra bonus'. this time it was $40.00 off. great deal and a great place!

wait, you want me to take four kids to fleming’s prime steakhouse? the fancy steakhouse with white tablecloths?.

we had been invited to fleming’s for dinner and to try the kids menu (yes, kids menu) and they assured me that they do like families. we kept trying to go early in the week and early in the day… but our calendar was just too full. so off we went at 6:00pm on a thursday night, with couples on dates and lots of people at business dinners...

over priced mediocre food. the bread and the truffle mashed potatoes are the best items on the menu. my server treated us like it was a chore to wait on us. my suggestion is to go to ruth chris instead.

the food is delicious, service needs improvement. my party was seated on the outside patio. while waiting to get a menu, the manager sat a gentleman next to us and personally took his order. i had been waiting for 15 minutes for the regular menu and our drink order. within 10 minutes, the gentleman next to us had his food delivered, by the manager. meanwhile, i am still waiting for a menu!
i finally went to complain and the manager came and took our order and was very apologetic, but the damage was done. he took care of his friend while we watched, starving...

out standing service! excellent presentation! one of my favorites! excellent menu choice for v day and the staff made the day one to remember. a great choice for those who expect the best!

i went to fleming's for dinner before a formal event... it is definitely not an everyday dining experience. it's great for a date night, treat your self, birthday, special event occasion. last time i was there, i had a great waiter! very personal, friendly experience. i've never driven a car there, so i don't know what their parking situation is like. their menu is great. they're a steakhouse, but if you're not a huge steak eater, you're not out of luck. their salmon is usually what i order and it's great! the entire experience is great from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you sign the check!

disappointing and unacceptable. we have been to fleming's a handful of times before and enjoyed it, but our experience tonight was surprisingly disappointing and unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber.

the service was slow and the waitstaff not as attentive as they have been in the past. we ordered wine, and it arrived promptly (although not chilled properly), but after that it was a good 15 minutes before we even saw our waiter to place our order. when our entrees and desserts arrived, the servers had no idea which plate belonged where. they put the wrong plates in front of the wrong people, they delivered a wrong dessert, and we had to swap our own plates.

the french onion soup was so salty it was inedible. all five of us ordered the soup, took one spoonful, and immediately had to grab our glasses of water. some of us had a couple more spoonfuls, but that was all we could stomach. we could not get rid of the terrible salty taste until our entrees came. i can't imagine a chef had tasted the soup before it was served; it never should have left the kitchen with so much salt. we ordered four steaks and one salmon. the salmon was cooked very nicely, as were the steaks, but the flavoring, in stark contrast to the soup, was relatively bland. the entrees were not bad by any means, but they were far from stellar, and definitely far from the quality of food we have been served at this restaurant. the walnut turtle pie was excellent--highly recommended. the carrot cake and the cheesecake, however, were quite mushy, and the icing on the carrot cake was runny.

although i have enjoyed fleming's in the past, i cannot imagine returning after this experience. there are too many good and comparable restaurants in houston to settle for this kind of food and service.
