    Fleming’s has a very classy atmosphere. I came here with my friend and spent approximately $220 between the two of us. The bread was great and the cocktails were fine. The food and service were not only severely disappointing for the price point, they were both bad in general. Unfortunately, seasoning was an issue across the board. You shouldn’t have to ask for a salt shaker when the steak is $60 and the sides are $14 each. I had the bone-in ribeye which was shockingly tough. The meat was also bland which makes me question the quality. My friend got the dry aged ribeye which was also noticeably missing salt. Utterly disappointing. The creme brûlée was good. We also got after dinner cappuccinos which tasted like watery Olive Garden coffee with foam on top. It was bad enough we couldn’t come close to finishing them. The worst thing about our visit was the service. We don’t know if it was because we were younger than the rest of the clientele or if it was racial discrimination, but it sucks to see everyone around you receive good service while you struggle to get the waiter’s attention. He hardly spent more than a couple of seconds at our table. We had to flag him down to get his attention, and even then he acted like we were annoying him on his way to more important customers. At the end of our meal he literally tossed the check onto our table like he couldn’t spare the time to set it down. Save your money and frustrations. You’ll get a much better steak at a mid tier steakhouse.

    Today was not a good day to come to Flemings. 😂 A couple of burnt steaks. Told our server but, I think he was new and wasn’t sure what to do, he kept trying to push the chocolate lava cake literally after I told him the steaks were burnt. I had a medium rare bone in Ribeye and my wife had a New York strip medium well. You can tell just by looking at the steaks they weren’t what we ordered. Cooks were probably newer as well because I used to be a cook and would not have sent these out. My wife and I decided to eat them to avoid the hassle of waiting any longer. If I’m going to pay 100+ for two steaks they better be what i asked for. DO BETTER.

    We come here every three weeks or so as our go to date spot. This last visit was for an anniversary, and Fleming's went way over the top for us. We had an anniversary card at our table that all the staff had signed. We received the most decadent truffles as a gift, and GOOD champagne was brought out while we were enjoying dessert. Even the platter the dessert was served on had Happy Anniversary stenciled in chocolate. The things that this restaurant and its wonderful staff do to make each visit an experience is really just mind-blowing. The food was amazing. Adrian our server was beyond outstanding as always. We're very happy to make this our regular spot.

    Choose earlier in the week to set up reservations for Fleming's, wanted to do something classy and atmospheric. Had a great time here, staff were very accommodating and treat you well. We had fun joking with them too. Loved the main dining area, it was dark but lit enough to see and had comfortable seating. The menu is centered around their steaks and few seafood entrees which doesn't bother me but may bother others who are looking for more. Also have a pretty decent selection of Wine/Alcohol. I'm sorry I couldn't remember our main waiters name but he did an amazing job. They start you off with some nice Sourdough bread and couple of homemade dips which were pretty good. For appetizer we went with Sweet Chili Calamari, it was the first time eating Calamari glazed with a Chili Sauce and I loved it. Then for the main meal I had to go with the Prime Tomahawk cooked perfectly to medium rare and it was one of the best steaks I've had. Also choose the Petite Filet Mignon and side dishes of Mashed Potatoes and Chipotle Cheddar Mac & Cheese. For dessert we went with their signature Chocolate Lava Cake which was amazing, and also the Creme Brulee. Overall I loved our dining experience here and will return again. They have a 4 Course Dinner that changes every couple of months, I'll definitely want to return to try the 4 Course menu next time, and may be a thing were we visit everytime it changes.

    Love this Place! It is our Anniversary and Valentine go to. Had a great 3 course dinner Saturday night! Outstanding service and the food filet and scampi lobster were delicious! Must of had 6 or 7 of staff stop by and wish us a happy anniversary including the manager! The wedge salad is also great!

    We were looking for a place to celebrate our son's 25th Anniversary and our granddaughter's one year wedding anniversary. We had dined at Fleming's for a birthday and found it to be excellent. Reservations were made for ten, our young adult grandchildren were very excited to hear they were going to experience a restaurant with ambiance. The booking hostess recommended that we come early to enjoy their SOCIAL. We arrived at the bar a little bit early and met Will. When we told him about our anniversary party, he stepped up and took charge. Will, put tables together to accommodate seating, greeted the family and took their orders. Thanks Will, for making us feel welcome. After the Social we were seated in the dining room, the rest of the evening was orchestrated by Paul, James and a host of staff. They guided us through ordering and shared their culinary experiences, pairing food and recommendations. Thanks to the chief and his staff the food was amazing. They treated us like royalty.  The staff had signed an anniversary card and brought it to our table. They presented us with decadent truffles as a gift, and champagne was brought out for a toast. Thank you! Thanks also to Paul, James, Will and all the staff that assisted with our table. A special thanks to Fleming's Prime Steakhouse for serving our community creating a five star restaurant that puts forth that personal touch which made our evening a bonding family memory.

    Met a friend there recently. Bar tender was fabulous and made a special order drink by combining the various cocktail options at my request. Seafood tower was more than enough for two people.

    One of our favorite places to visit! Recently came for an engagement anniversary and we were treated like royalty. The seafood tower is a MUST. The Caesar salad is bananas! And any combo of steaks/toppings is incredible. I love the lump crab!! Service is incredible.

    First time here. The service was really good. I got the Flemings salad and Filet mignon well cooked. It was tender and delicious. I also tried the Mac and cheese and Flemings potato they were really good. The atmosphere was good for dining. It was busy with lots of diners. I did enjoy my dinner.

    The prime New York steak and Fleming’s potatoes were amazing. We enjoyed our tiki mules. It was awesome that we were given a card and truffles to help celebrate our anniversary, and that happy anniversary was written on our dessert plate. Adrian was very friendly! Thank you for making us feel so special on our anniversary!

    If you need a steak that makes you close your eyes while eating it, this is the place for you. Their freshly baked bread went great with the pumpkin infused butter. Mushrooms went perfectly with the dry aged ribeye and their take on the old fashioned was flawless. Zoom in on the steak photo and you will get hungry just looking at it.

    Best steak in town. Service is top notch. Get the lobster Mac and cheese and a lava cake. Only complaint is wine tour this time when we were there.

  • 5/5 Douglas K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food. Best steak I’ve probably had in my life! Sides were amazing as well (Fleming’s Potatoes and Caesar Salad). Very expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for! Fantastic service as well. Highly recommend!

    Flemings is a chain of fine steakhouses. We had never been before even though we have known about them for years. Finally went on a Monday night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was very good, and the service was top-notch 5-Star. We ordered the Sweet Chili Calimari appetizer, followed by the Lobster Bisque. These were both 5 -Star in flavor, presentation, and portion. Then, for our entree, we both ordered the Filet with portobello mushrooms and onions along with the crunchy brussell sprouts. Both Filets we ordered Medium-RARE. My wife's was close to medium rare while mine was medium-well. Both steaks tended to be dry. The flavors were exquisite. At $215 plus tip for a dinner for 2 WITHOUT ALCOHOL Flemings is simply just over-priced. Paying $60 for an 11 oz Filet it should be cooked correctly! 3-Star because of improperly cooked steaks and over-priced menu.

    Went here for the first time for our anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful! The server taking care of us was exceptional and made sure we were well taken care of. We were served complementary champagne and given a card that everyone had signed which was very thoughtful. And at the end we were given orange infused chocolate truffles that were extremely good. All the food was delicious and every course was brought out with perfect timing. Thank you guys for making our night so special, we will definitely be back!

    Had dinner here following my daughter's wedding. We had a small intimate room that was reserved ahead of time. The servers were more than accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were fabulous as well. The out side of the restaurant has a couple fountains and provided a nice backdrop for photos.

    Have always had great service at this location. Also have frequent work gatherings here, and service is always great. Seafood towers are a great choice! New York strip with Diablo Shrimp is one the best steaks Ive has in the area. 801 and Flemming's are definitely my choice for a great steak in the area

  • 5/5 Cynthia F. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food & service . I could do without the fall season pumpkin butter so our waitress brought us an extra traditional butter. There were not any after dinner mints in the round table this time :-( . We really love the after dinner mints. :- ) lol The steak was a perfect medium rare. It melted in our mouth! The Caesar salad with fried prosciutto, was yum!

  • 5/5 Frank R. 6 months ago on Google
    Definitely a great experience!! Nathan was a amazing server and made our date night perfect. He was very friendly and attentive, his knowledge was over the top and his personality made our interactions fun. The food was cooked perfectly and well worth the money and his desert recommendation was spot on….GET the Gooey Cake for desert!!! Sucked the espresso machine was down but we could hardly complain as the rest of th evening was perfect. Will definitely be back very soon!!

    Great food with great service. It’s a more quiet and relaxed steakhouse. They have great steaks as well as great seafood. The seafood tower is delicious but it is huge!! We like to go here to take clients. It’s an easy to have private business conversations and celebrate your clients. Can’t go wrong with the food here but it is not for a family on a tight budget.

    Fleming's never disappoints. From the. service, to the food to the nice ambiance, all make for a perfect dinner date. We like sitting at the bar because we know our servers there and the drinks are amazing. They really treat us well, are friendly and efficient. The Chef has accommodated our mushroom allergy and the food has been outstanding. We love going to the restaurant.

👍👍 Great breakfast served all day long! I had French toast with bacon and hash browns. The bacon was top notch and I loved the crunchy potatoes! The menu has so many items I wanted t try them all plus all the good BBQ was hard to pass up and eat breakfast too. So we also had a BBQ pulled pork sandwich...
