fleming’s prime steakhouse & wine bar

perfect steak. is right here! this was a very romantic evening for me and my fiance at the time. darker room, steaks cooked in the same room so it smells amazing. they brought crackers with different cheeses to the table, one being goat.. it was sooo creamy and tangy! everything was classy, and perfectly served. as an appetizer, we had shrimp cocktail: jumbo shrimp, grey goose infused chipotle horseradish cocktail sauce. very delish! for the main course, i had a filet mignon and my fiance had the new york strip... both were cooked to perfection! the side dishes were al la carte. try: fleming's potatoes, with cream, jalapeños and cheddar cheese. soooo good! my fiance had the sautéed mushrooms, which he said were amazing.. in butter and garlic. at the end of the meal, they brought us chocolate covered strawberries in a beautiful gold colored box, it is a priceysteakhouse, similar to ruth's criss, but i think i liked it a tad bit better. a definate anniversary dinner place.

highly over prized,  extremely loud, and the food mediocre, everything drenched in butter. you get a bettersteakat black angus at one third the price in a similar ambiance.  if you want prime rib go to lawry's, if you want asteakat the fleming's price go to ruth's chris, or morton's. or if you know how to cook a perfectsteakand want to spend what you would spend at fleming's  go to costco get the their prime steaks and you'll have enough money left to go to lawry's.

normally an avid fan of fleming's, i most often visit the scottsdale or las vegas locations. last night we took family out for a big celebration, as a gluten free and dairy free eater, i had let them know both ahead of time and alerted my waiter to how mysteakand dishes needed to be prepared. ordered a dry filet, medium well. while my side dishes were great, mysteakwas first delivered with butter. (dairy) - the secondsteakwas brought out rare, i did get an apology for the manager at this point and my thirdsteakwas then prepared and brought out. my family, at this point was completing their meal. no part of our meal was comped for any of this. after paying $245.00 for three steaks and sides with bottled water, i was hoping for better service with my meal. the taste was as always impeccable, and my mother received beautiful truffles and a card which she enjoyed, but i do not recommend this location for food allergies/sensitivities or attention to detail.

yes it's expensive. but it is worth it!!! have never had bad food here. the dry agedsteakwith gorgonzola sauce is amazing!!! went today for the first time in 6 months because i've been out of town and had "food orgasms"!!! so good!!! fyi. you can go to costco and get $100 of gift cards for $80...

my wife and i went there last night for the first time. beststeakand service weve ever had. the servers were friendly and professional. my wife almost cried because thesteakwas so good. a first for me. and the pork belly and grits dish was superb. it just has to be tried to eappreciate.

great dinner tonight. from drinks to entree to service to desert -- perfect. has nysteakand duck with french green beans.

great quality and taste. always prepared well.

this was my first time going to flemings and i heard so much hype that i was excited to finally eat there. we went in a large group for a company celebration with about 22 people. the appetizers were very good. had thesteakkabob and the mini quiche. i was looking forward to my flemings house salad but my disappointment started there. the dried cranberries and candied walnuts were good, the dressing was well balanced but the croutons were horrible. they tasted like 3 day old bread that had no flavor to begin with and was never seasoned. the least they could have used a little seasoning to make them acceptable. the mixed greens were similar to a $3 tgif salad but they charged extra for the flemings name. when i received my filet mignon it seemed more like a petite than a full cut. when i took my first bit i was not impressed. not much flavor, a little extra crispy on the outside, pretty dry on the inside. so i figured maybe it might get better as i go along... nope! stayed the same the while way thorough. it wasn't terrible but it wasn't a $50 steak. the fully loaded baked potato was good but was lacking enough fixings to have every bite a great bite. we ordered the chocolate lava cake for desert which takes 30 minutes to prepare. when we got it, it looked great. when we cut into the cake, we found out that they over cooked it. it was a dense chocolate cake. only one out of six ordered was done correct. the service was good but the food needs improvement. it lacked the flavor and proper execution that you expect from a great steakhouse. i would suggest going to ruth chris or lawry's instead or if you want the same quality of food, save the money and go to tgi fridays. i will not be returning to flemings anytime in the near future.
